Amlodipine side effects and withdrawal symptoms. Going Crazy
Posted , 2 users are following.
I just heal from covid not that long ago and i had some anxiety. After i healed i did my check up and the doctor suggested amlodipine 2.5 mg. i said sure no big deal. After like 5 days my anxiety multiplied 10x and i had my first panic attack ever. My wife was so scared and i didnt know why that was happening. Later on i did some research and found amlodipine has all this crazy side effects. I been only taking them for three weeks and its my first day off it today. My blood pressure is not really high it was more like a suggestion from the doctor. How long before recovery and is withdrawal worst?

I was prescribed the Amlodipine 5mg once a day due to high blood pressure with Daflon and compression stocking after giving birth (130-140/80-90). After 5 days, out of balance. Then shortness of breath, high heart rate and anxiety. BP became normal (110-120/80). My Cardio decreased dosage to half a tablet a day (2.5mg) after 1 month. Out of balance and shortness of breath happens in the afternoon if i am tired or have anxiety. BP still normal (120/80). Cardio decreased dosage to 1/4 tablet (1.25mg) after 2 months to taper. No shortness of breath, normal heart rate, no out of balance. After 4 months, stopped taking amlodipine. However, had withdrawal symptom. Shortness of breath. On the 10th day, shortness of breath was the worst but bp and heart rate are normal. I thought of giving in and take the amlodipine again but was thinking that the amlodipine will go out of my system after 12 days. i focused on God. On the 11th day, shortness of breath is gone. I feel ok now. Thank you, God!
