Stopping amlodipine
Posted , 5 users are following.
hi all... i have posted on here before about the problems i was having after my dose of amlodipine was increased.. anxiety, tremors, leg pain, tinnitus to name but a few.
Well , I went cold turkey and stopped them. I am 11 days clear now. The anxiety has gone, the tremor has stopped. No swollen ankles. Still have the tinnitus but I think once you have that its there for good? AND.. my blood pressure is better than its been for years.
So hang in there guys.. it does get better!

that is great news!! i think the ringing will get better but may not go away. I still have symptoms after being off it for a year but I am much better than i was. We are all very individual!

Beverley,
I can tolerate 5mg Amlodipine but cant 10mg.
When i first went into the drug i endured all the side effects you mentioned but after a month or so, everything settled down and ive been fine on it since.
I do suffer with tinnitus since going on it but most of the time i can manage that.
Its a good drug if you can tolerate it.
Best of British to you.
Matt
