I definitely have erectile dysfunction when I am on Amlodipine Besilate. Am I alone or has anybody?

Amlodipine was also prescribed to me. The side effect I had was water retention in my body and it centred around my ankle joints and it makes by ankles swollen. My physician has changed it to Perindopril Erbumate 4mg daily. The pressure is now 110/70 and I am very happy with it.

The most of hypertension remedies may cause a lot of side effects, and erectile dysfunction is one of them. Another point of view, erectile dysfunction may be associated with hypertension (high blood pressure may provoke the problems with blood flow to the penis)

Amlodipne is contraindicated for ED, so are all anti hypertensive drugs.

Norvasc the drug I take very much dampens the effect of ED Meds , I stopped the drug and saw a great improvement!

I started taking this same medicine about 2-3 months ago and I also definately have experienced ED. If you have talked to your Doctor, what has he advised you to do, other than just stopping the medication?

I am taking Amlodipine, I feel that the Doctors or some use that as a last resort due to the side effect. I am 75+, almost no activity. Rather have low blood pressure than the other, didn't take away the thoughts. Other health problems, ejaculation will take place without erection or semi erection, without the big ending..

I take 5mg of amlopidine besylate and have also had performance problems..stopped taking it for a couple weeks and got my performance back. started it again just to verify, and lost it again. I am 25 years old, and I would rather be hypertensive than have a limp noodle.

My experience is similar. I rapidly lost erectile function soon after commencing amlodipine several weeks ago. I have decided to discontinue to see if this restores function.

18 Nov 2011

I am 48, and have been taking Amlodipine (5 mg) for about 3 months now. In the last month or so, my sex life has taken a complete dive. Can't get an erection and when I do, it is half limp. I have now decided to get off this medicine - will ask the doctor for a substitute, meanwhile can someone tell me how long it takes to get your sex-drive back? Thanks!

You are not alone so rest your heart. I started taking 5mg Amlodipine one daily in July 2011 for 2 weeks and realised I could not perform whiles on holiday. I blamed it on my very stressful job and my nagging partner who does not stop talking even when she is asleep. I gained full service back after completion of course although unconsciously.

Did not take it again until a month ago when I was prescribed the same medication and I realised after a month that I can hardly performe to my usual high standards. Cant just get it up. So I quickly came off it today upon doctors advice and research and will be handing the rest of the medication in to my doctor tomorrow when I see the idiot. I am monitoring performance. My blood pressure is very low now 129/74 compared to 156/94 a month ago as I have been running 2 km everyday for 3 months now and eating well. Do not smoke or drink and always had a healthy life style (I thought) and I hope to maintain the good diet. Can't afford to have a no show in that department. Never. Whattt! Must be kidding.
