REPORT

I was prescribed Norvasc, back in Nov. 2014, at first I felt a change..then I started getting severe headaches..I continued to take..Today marks the day I have been on for 10 months..and I have taken my last pill, with a new refill, I just got yesterday..im on nothing else..my hands, my feet, my ankles all have pitting edema..I have had painful heels and walking has been a painful way to start the morning out. I HAVE SEVERE Muscle cramps, palpitations..tremors, seems to be poorer concentration and flush cheeks..my hands, ankles,legs and even down to my toes, are swollen like that of a nine month pregnancy.I have had a god awful time trying to get to sleep, so I now take Melatonin..I am a very physical person and active to boot..I have been profusely sweating under normal and comfortable situations. GERD is horrible..I have heartburn all the time now..My job is very physical and I feel like passing out from time to time due to being lightheaded..there have been major side effects for me in this drug...it is LETHAL!!!. Will call my physician tomorrow and make aware of Stop on the Meds..I will NOT take again..it has decreased my life capacity to do anything..im a healthy 46 yr. Old female..I am not an obese individual...but I can stand to lose 20 lbs...this medication actually gives you Anxiety...I am planning to change my diet. Eat more healthy, decrease salt intake..not bad anyway..and beat the high bp I once had which was 160/98.. I know I did not get all of the symptoms but..this is a LETHAL drug...NO MORE!!!!

Slow mag is the best thing to use for cramping. Although, because u are on a calcium channel blocker, the calcium in the slow mag is unable to be properly used. Try and talk to your doctor about switching your medication. Lowering the dose did not help my father. The medication had to be switched.

My husband had a 7 hour psychosis episode on Norvasc. Mania, depression, police had to come do a safety check on him. Scariest day of my life.

I tell you norvasc is unsafe. I have been on it for 2 years. My best blood pressure readings were times in between taking the med because side effects suck here is a long list. Fatigue, dizziness, tight chest,nocturia,dry mouth, weird dreams, palpatations, anxiety, and drooling. I swear to you if you exercise and lose 6 to 10 pounds it shaves off 20 points on bp. After 40 some people are prone to put on weight hormonal is most to blame and stress. I was in really good physical shape until 32. After 28 I got diagnosed with gerd. They put me on proton pump inhibitor. I weighed 165 by 32 I was up to 180. I stopped drinking, chewing and my health has just gotten worse. I eat more healthy food now then I did 20 years ago and I am fat. I worked my a off last year I lost 14 pounds got tennis elbow I gave up. I felt like after every work out I got hit by a bus. Exercise and gerd do not go well. Exercise worsened my bouts with gerd. I have been having chest pressure for 4 weeks I am sure it is norvasc and my bp has been up. It doesn't work. If you can just lose a few pounds ot works.

I don't believe that a person has to go through the hell of the side effects of Norvacs or lisiniprol. I was so sick from those drugs and had to get off of them. Did you also know that norvasc causes psychosis. People need to be persistent with there doctors as I was. Doctors are not educated with side effect. Now I am so scared to take any medications at all. I am now off of both medications cause it gave me flu like symthams coughing was so darn tired could not do anything not even house work. I am now on a low dose of diuretic. I will see how that works. Please you have to be persistent with your doctors and demand to be taken of these meds. There are other meds out there with less side effects.
