Amlodipine

I don't read the side effects leaflet unless I get something happen that might be a side effect.

If I read the list first, I'd just get them all.

I started earlier this year my BP wasn’t high but going up and down a bit, 5 mg a day, I rarely read side effects and have had none

Not sure this is what you want to hear, I had to stop taking them, they played havoc with my already overactive bladder.
I am now taking Felodopine, early days but so far so good.

My GP said it would make my ankles swell which, at first, it did, but after a month or so, they went back to normal. I've had no other side effects.

Yes, I do, and it’s fine, it’s helped me. (I have annual reviews, so can raise concerns should I have any). They have to list every possible known side effect on any medications, which can seem quite scary when reading them, but in reality, most people will have no or very few of the effects listed.

My advice, if you have concerns, is to discuss these with your doctor, as they are best placed to help you, as they know your medical background. I can only say how I have found a given medicine for me, but another person could have a completely different experience. As I say, your doctor is the best person to discuss this with.

Good luck 😁

I've been taking 10mg daily for years and haven't noticed any side effects. Blood pressure is fine so something must be working!

Grateful, idiot iPad,not great full

Been taking it for a few years. No side effects.

I’m taking it. I never read the side effects of any medication as generally you can be “ dizzy, sleepy, insomniac, constipated, have diarrhoea, indigestion,headaches, aching joints, cramp,” and generally it’s our fault because we wretches are still alive. Don’t take me seriously. Just looking at the hefty bag of meds that DH has retrieved from the chemist. I’m really truly great full to the NHS . Just keep a watching brief for the first few weeks .

I have no problems with it - been taking it for several years - 5mg daily. I never read ‘side effects’ - every medication has side effects. Some of the food we eat daily has side effects. But that’s just me. Try one tablet, and if you have some troubling side effect, stop taking it and get in touch with your Doctor. High BP is no joke.

I am taking it. whether to good effect I do not know, but certainly no side effects.
