    UPDATE: today is my eighth day being off amlodipine, and I feel great! Dry mouth is almost completely gone, pressure in my ears has subsided and my headaches are gone. Still having a little bit of tinnitus but really excited to have figured out the cause of all my problems. Nasty stuff.

    Hi Dave,

    I'm on my 6 weeks off amlopine, and I can tell you that my tongue as settle down now. That's 1 thing that I can tick of my list.

      what were your issues? did it really take 6 weeks? I'm noticing that some days my dry mouth is better than others. Often times I think it's coming back, but overall things seem to be going away. I'm just amazed at how long it takes.

    Hi Dave,

    Just wondered if your systems got worse after the covidd vacation ?😕

    e.g tremors and muscle twitching.

      I had my last vaccination in October, before I started having side effects, so no noticeable differences.
