Have been taking Amlodipine for 3 months. Noted no side effects except slight flushing initially, and blood pressure fell and has been consistently normal after about one month, despite family problems and moving house! As far as I can see it is a remarkable drug, and I am puzzled that others are having problems with it.

    Good news from me too, absolutely no side effects after a whole year on these, I also take elanapril and feel just great.

    I often wonder if people attribute minor temporary ailments unfairly to some drugs.

    Let those who have no side effects speak out more often.

    It's so sad when people don't believe others when they have a bad experience. Yes, those with good experiences should speak out more but, judging from the posts in this thread, there are many people who suffer on this particular medication.
