... been experiencing terrible weakness in the last 2 months or so. He started the Norvasc in November of 2009 and the Cardura in March 2010... could the combo of the 2 be causing this weakness... his legs are also terribly swollen as is his ankles and feet ... I feel the Norvasc is causing the weakness and the swelling. I want to know if I should wean Dad off the Norvasc... my father's overall health for his age is good. Your ideas?

Firstly don't wean your father off any of his medications without first talking to his doctor about your concerns.
Weakness is a fairly common side-effect of Cardura.
Swelling in your ankles and feet (edema) is a common side effect of Norvasc.
