I hate this stuff I have pains in my knees when I take it. Twice I have taken myself off it and each time the knee problems have gone away. I have decided to insist on being taken off it on my next visit to my GP.I had my concerns dismissed last time. After reading other posts here I won't let that happen again.

    I have been on felodipine for several weeks and I have had bad shoulder pain, knee joint pain, crippling excruciating leg cramps, tiredness, confused - need I go on? Have they actually TESTED this drug???!! I'm fed up with going back to the doctor. I have dropped myself down to 1 every other day - lets see if that helps. My knees are killing me.
