Long term use of Amlodipine
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi Have read all the posts with interest. I have been on 5mg of Amlodipine for many years.
Although I do get some slight ankle swelling sometimes it always goes down overnight, however I do also have arthritis and varicose veins. Gp did not seem concerned as I had or so I thought no real
other side effects. Reading what everyone has said I now wonder. I have suffered from a post nasaldrip sinus thing since 2007 I started the Amlodipine a few months before. I had a scan of the sinuses
and it was normal, however I still have it. The problem is I am on several different medications for
asthma, thryoid, ibs as well. I get frustrated with any new symptoms I have not knowing if it a
particular drug, or interaction. I tend to agree with some of you what did they do before we had all
these drugs. I hate taking them all but do as Gp says apart from simvastatin found that caused awful
aches pains which I don't need already have them with arthritis. I would be grateful for any
comments also do you think as I have been on them for such a long time my problems are not caused by them . Thanks for reading.

So if you think your doing ok on this med....or still need it....it's up to you. All I know is that our bodies are not meant for these drugs...so if you can....eat rifght and exercise and go the hollistic way.
