I have been on Amlodipine for about 1 year. I started out taking 5mg but BP didn't come down, went up to 10 mg and started with the swelling of the feet ankles and legs, also had joint pain in my toes which made it hard to walk. Doc lowered it to 5mg again and the side effects stayed the same. Got sick of being run around by DR. so I took myself completely off Amlodipine 41/2 days ago. Swelling in the feet has gone down a lot but not completely, leg swelling is gone as is the joint pain. I quit drinking as of now and over all I an feeling so much better and get this my BP has gone down so much, 114/65 P 62. I will contact DR. office tomorrow Monday 3/14 2016 and inform of these results, do not care what he says I will not take this drug ever again even if it means giving up my cocktails. Good luck to you. Please let me know what happens with you! {edited for privacy}.

I am in the same situation as you are and have decided to stop taking the medications well... the swelling, bruises, joint pains, weight gain, capalaries bursting in my fingers among many other problems... Im done!!! I think this drug is going to kill me faster than having the hypertension by itself. Its been 5 years on Amlodipine for me and there must be some other alternative. I plan on continuing to eat healthy and look into holistic medicine instead.

I am very frustrated about the drug amlodipine. My mother always had high blood pressure and it came to 160/90; that worries me more. Her dr. gave her amlodipine and after taking it for a week, her ankles are swelling. She took it for 3 weeks now and still the side effect remains. She wants to stop taking the medicine. Is it good to stop it suddenly or is there a problem if she does stops taking it suddenly?
