Hello All!
I am new to this forum. I was taking Losartan 50 mg and it wasn't bringing down my bp so my doctor added Norvasc 5mg. My bp went down so low that I stopped taking them. About a week later I began having diarrhea. Has anyone else experienced this after abruptly stopping these meds?

I did not have this as problem but lord knows I wish I had instead of all the other! In a way, having diarrhea is actually helping your body to rid itself of any toxins that may be left in your system. I wouldn't sweat it unless it becomes a big problem.

Also, if your bp went down so slow after taking the added Norvasc 5mgs...did you
report this to your doctor? Perhaps taking just 2.5 (pill cut in half) may just do the trick. If you don't have any bp meds replacing the Losartan & the Norvasc, your bp could rebound, which is what you don't want.
