best info i can find seems exforge,amiodipine,and valsartan are exforge.
starting with the first pill I took I became a zombie. It affected every thing from my brain to my walking.I went to a heart dr. to see if she could help. I am better after a year in a lot of ways.I still can't stand or walk enough to go outside and feel safe. I am weak tired good for nothing. If i knew what the meds had effective maybe I could know what to do to help me return to the health I had before this med.
2008 there was nothing wrong with me when I discovered I had high bp. If I had known what this last years would be I would not have lived like this.I would have ended it.I am 77 but didn't know I was old until I took thiss medicine.
Exforge and diovan are they the same? you can't find the ingredients in bp meds?

Firstly with the sort of symptoms you are describing I suggest that you see your doctor immediately for a check. You don't need to feel like you are and things can definitely be changed to make you feel better.
Exforge contains amlodipine and valsartan.
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing the muscles of your heart and blood vessels.
Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Valsartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow
Exforge is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). This medication is usually given after others have been tried without successful treatment of hypertension.
AND
Diovan contains just valsartan, a angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Valsartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
