I have been on amlopine for a year, then all these problems started sore mouth, gums, stomach and acid issues. Plus tremors and muscle weakness, ask the doctor if I could come off them. he said yes my b/p was sable. But 5 weeks of amlopine I'm still suffering the symptoms? after 5 weeks. especially muscle contractions, doc said that that he will do a blood test for vitamin deficiency.

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!

I am also one of those rare cases who has suffered from Burning mouth , tongue and teeth for nearly a year . Ever since I started taking Amlodopine . My doctor has been putting it down to stress and fatigue . Even prescribed two weeks on a sunbed . I hope more people will report how awful this medication is. I am suffering from severe insomnia , aching limbs ,dry mouth .Severe burning tongue and mouth and aching teeth . Numb lips . I have decided to STOP TAKING THIS DRUG ASAP and will see if there is any change ?
