For High Blood Pressure I hate best price norvasc ! It made my blood pressure worse. I was always borderline with my blood pressure. It didn''t help that I work nights and my diet isn''t the greatest. My doctor wanted to me try this medication for a month to see if my blood pressure would lower. Within a week my blood pressure which usually hovers at 140/80 with a pulse of 80 shot to a ridiculous 200/98 with a pulse of 98. My blood pressure will always spike around the evening. My anxiety worsened and I got headaches. This medication does not work for me and I am not going to be tricked into staying on it longer.
For High Blood Pressure My BP is still high. As the systolic # came down slightly, the diastolic # has gone up greatly. Will see doc in 2 weeks & ask about that.

For High Blood Pressure I am 27 years old and I had blood pressure of 150/100, around the high range for a few days at the very least but within 2 hours of taking norvasc 5g my BP dropped to around 128/86. I have just taken this once in my life.
For High Blood Pressure I was prescribed Amlodipine 5mg, within six to seven hours I had ringing in my ears.My GP persuaded me to persevere, as it was thought the side effect would go away. It didn''t ! I carried on with the dreadful medication for six weeks, and then ditched it ! Five weeks later I still have the tinnitus.! How can drug companies be allowed to ruin people''s lives - admittedly, tinnitus was stated as one of the side effects, but I was given to believe the side affects would be temporary, not permanent, as seems to be the case ! I hate this medication ! If I am lucky enough to have the tinnitus disappear, I will repost later ! For the time being I would say '' BEWARE '' !
For High Blood Pressure Dentist took my blood pressure at 218/105, a total shock to me since it has always been low except for white coat usually around 150/90. She sent me to the ER. EKG was normal, and I felt shaky but otherwise okay. 10 mg norvasc was prescribed and within 2 days BP was down in the 130/70 range in the morning. 6 weeks later it is often 115-125/70 and is rarely above 135/75. I had a strongly pounding heartbeat for a few days the first week, which went away. I was also tired the first couple of days and my legs felt heavy on my daily 2-mile walk -- that also resolved by the second week. It''s working for me though my goal is to lose enough weight and exercise enough to eventually get off it. I''m a 62-year old female.
For High Blood Pressure I am a mid-fifty male post open heart (4 mths ago) and stents (3 weeks ago).I have been on norvasc 5 mg for about 10 days now as the predecessor drug''s side effect were horrible. It has been very effective at lowering my BP (117/75) the side effects are still concerning. Dizzy, tired, maybe some depression & anxiety, slight problem with deep breathing and week muscles. Although I can function normally the day-to-day functions are an effort so I push through. The mornings (when I take norvasc) are not as good as the afternoon when I feel better. I believe the side effects are getting better but am unsure. What I want is to be normal again and active. They say it takes a few week for the body to adjust. I''ll give it its due course.
For High Blood Pressure I''m 55 and 195 lbs. Was on 5mg norvasc after repeated BP readings of 160/80. norvasc brought my BP down to 140/80 for the first 3 months. Then I started getting heart palpitations. I would also start feeling flushed & dizzy. It became progressively worse to the point I couldn''t stand because of my dizziness. Heart palpitations occurred frequently. Doctor took blood, EKG and also did two stress tests. All were negative (BP went back up to 165/75 - on average). I stopped taking norvasc after 6 months, Doctor put me on 10mg Lisinopril. As my diet improved over the past 6 months (I have always done cardio), I stopped any BP meds. It been 24 days and my BP (which I take several times a day) hovers between 120/75 to 141/82. I''m no longer dizzy or feel flush. Still get heart palpitations every few hours that hasn''t fully been explained. Bottom line is (IMO), I can do without meds by having changed my diet (which was good to start with - Just needed to make some adjustments).+
I started on this 3 months ago for my hypertension and it works great. I was on Toprol 50mg and now on Toprol 25mg and norvasc 5mg. This is a great combination for me. I definitely can recommend it.
