I have been taking amlodipine for more than 2 year. I don't like the side effects to my body. I want to try hawthorn berry and ubiquinol but I'm not sure how to incorporate this herb and supplement. Anyone had experience taking hawthorn with amlodipine or transition to natural stuff and off amlodipine?
thank you!!

Never tried hawthorn myself, and searching doesn't seem to give any very certain idea of how it might work, one said diuretic, another said nitric oxide.
As far as getting off amlodipine, it takes a week or so to clear out of your system. Other than that I know of no special requirements to taper off or anything.
So it's probably safe enough to just skip the amlodipine one day and try the hawthorn, and then see how your BP is the next day before deciding how to proceed, but you won't really know for a week or more.
