Swollen Ankles And Legs On 10 Mg Amlodipine

Updated

I have swelling in my ankles and legs, feel unbelievably tired and my skin is hot yet I shiver as you do with a sunburn. My Dr. has changed my med at my request, but I would like to know how long it may take for the swelling to go down?

What medication did they put you on, now? I'm sorry, but it is hard to provide you with accurate information, without knowing more specifics. Can you please post back and clarify?

Depending on the new medication, it could take a couple weeks to a month, or more, since most medications in this class can cause these symptoms as side effects, according to the FDA.

However, things may be different if they gave you a medication that helps remove the fluid that is causing the edema.

My Dr switched me to METOPROLOL 25 MG per day. It brought my bp down considerably in 48 hours, but swelling is still present. I'm hoping the fatigue also starts to disappear. I work and have always been very active, and being so tired is something I am not used to, nor do I want to get use to it.
I was only on the Amlodipine for approximately 3 weeks. I appreciate your response, Thank you.
