I have been taking amlodipine 2.5 mg twice daily for many years. I have so many of the side effects you have mentioned like the edema in my ankles and lower legs, the fatigue the hand tremors which we have yet to figure out the cause of that despite having a brain MRI and seeing a neurologist, weird rashes, fatigue, brain fog, very vivid dreams and many others you mentioned. I never thought that a medication can cause so many bad side effects and I will speak to my PCP about changing me to something else. Thank you for this very informative video. I felt like I was going crazy and didn't know the reason why but this medication could be the problem

I took myself off this medication, l was feeling horrible on it, l begged the doctor to lower my dose, was told no, l would have dizziness all the time, l was on 50mg. I was not functioning at all. So l slowly took myself off. I am better. Changed my Doctor. Maybe everyone can't do what l did, but thank God for being with me.

I've been taking this med for about a year now, and I'm having most of these side effects. I will be weening myself OFF, and stop taking it. The sooner the Better. BIG Thanks for this information. 🙏May God Bless and Protect You and All Your Family ALWAYS and EVERYWHERE 🙏❤XOXOXO from Lois in Northeastern Indiana 😊

10 months ago I stopped eating all carbs and noticed my blood pressure going lower. I stopped my Amlodipine and now my BP is really low. So glad I stopped and had no idea of the side effects.

Been taking this for over a year and have no problems, so far...😬👍🇬🇧

I’m very sad that I have experienced several of these side effects and NOT ONE of my many doctors have figured this out. I have been back and forth to the dermatologist with constant symptoms that really interrupt the quality of my life. Currently, I have been referred to an electro physiological specialist for tacky/brady symptoms! Talking surgery instead of medication adjustments first. This really sucks bad. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain these weird side affects. I have experienced three that has reduced my quality of life significantly.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I have the edema in my legs and feet .Itching that I had to use aloe Vera gel to cover my skin before Iput on my clothes.sleeplessness.tiredness.I am thankful for this information.I think I’ll take half of the tablet instead to see if I could be rid of some of these negative effects.
@barbietude
I have been on this medication 25 years, took myself off, actually felt better, I'm looking for a naturalistic provider. When I saw the gingavil hyperplasia, now I know why my gums are swollen and teeth breaking off😢 I just so happened to see this video at 4:20 am and I thank God. I don't like pills that are supposed to heal with life threatening side effects, what's the point. ❤

I’ve been on amolopodine for many years and I’ve been through every side affects of this medication 💊 I think I will ask my doctor to help me with this as I’ve slowly deteriorated ever since I started taking them I have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia osteoarthritis and other chronic illness and on watching this video it all makes sense I’m already on perindeprol and water tablets for my blood pressure for the past 7 years I’ve been exhausted and just want to sleep all the time I’m also diabetic type 2 and take metformin every day I’ve been severely depressed and through my gastro problems I was vomiting constantly it was horrendous and I now have dyspepsia and dysphagis thank you so much for doing this video and reading all the comments has really opened my eyes to this medication good luck to everyone 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
@sojodiva470
I never knew all the side effects for this meds. I thought it was normal thanks for the information. I will now report these symptoms to my doctor.
@rhondawest6838
Thank you for this. I've noticed an increase in itchiness and now I can pinpoint a cause.
@marisolfigueroa5905

@carolFerguson-on5gx
Well I have all the symptoms except two. 76 had a Cardiomyopathy 2013. I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia Osteoporosis and ten major bones broken. I appreciate your information because I was attributing the symptoms to other problems. I'm prescribed Amlodipine BESYLATE 2.5. I've only been taking it since 2/15/24. I do respond quickly to new medications. It's only taken at night. I take Carvedilol and Clonidine twice a day and Valsartan in the morning. I'm going to my doctor and tell them my findings. The worst side effect is the itching. Arms, chest, legs. I have scars. Muscle weakness, fatigue and forming words. Some of this is familiar to Lupus and Fibromyalgia however it became worse. This was a wealth of information💕🙏 Thank you

I’m very sad that I have experienced several of these side effects and NOT ONE of my many doctors have figured this out. I have been back and forth to the dermatologist with constant symptoms that really interrupt the quality of my life. The itching has caused me so much anxiety and sleeplessness with causes even more stress and anxiety. Currently, I have been referred to an electro physiological specialist for tacky/brady symptoms! Talking surgery instead of medication adjustments first. This really sucks bad. I feel duped, damaged and tired of certain doctors not doing the right things! All of this suffering 😢 Thank you so much for taking the time to explain these weird side affects. I have experienced three that has reduced my quality of life significantly.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@gloriaziegler5890
I take amlodipine, so this information is invaluable. Thanks for sharing the video.
@Brunosdad
I have been on Amlodipine for some years now and noticed I get a lot of in swelling my legs and feet, some nights I can literally feel a sensation of liquid running down my legs but only in the evening while sitting at my pc, my wife has recently been prescribed Amlodipine she too has noticed swollen legs, I did mention my swelling legs to my doctor and was told to just elevate my legs, after seeing this I'm going to ask for a second opinion, thanks.
@nkechiolumba6136

The less doctor visits the better we are. Force yourself to diet. Dont drink sodas. Drink water. The less you weigh the more energy you have
@MarciaDeschler
This medication cause my ankles to swell! It was horrible, could barely get my feet into shoes. I came off it Snd my feet are back to normal. Advocate for yourself and be open to trying other meds.
