How long before side effects go away?

Posted , 2 users are following.

i have been off the amlodipine for 20 days and my joints - especially my elbows- still hurt so bad!! when does this go away? My hair has finally stopped falling out! so that is good news but my joints are tender to the touch and hurt to extend or lift anything.
