Since they are both calcium channel blockers, should I ask for a different class of drug to control my blood pressure? ## Hello, Susan! How are you feeling?

I have been taking 5mg for seven days only and found myself feeling so lethargic. If I'm to just stop taking this, is it dangerous or should i take half of 5mg to reduce sudden withdrawal symptoms? ## Hello, Karen! How are you? That can be a side effect of this medication, however, if you are treating high blood pressure or a cardiac condition, it is far more dangerous to stop taking it and let them continue uncontrolled. Side effects are typically transient and go away with time, once your body gets used to the medication, but that may take 4 to 5 weeks. The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

WHAT DOES THIS DRUG DO? WHAT IS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE? ## Hi Carolyn, Amlodipine is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina). It lowers blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard.

Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure. I hope this info helps to answer your q...
