It seems that Nausea is causing these side effects.
There should be another Med. that does the same thing , without theses side affects.

Possible side effects of Norvasc :
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Dizziness; drowsiness; fatigue; flushing; headache; muscle cramps; nausea; stomach pain; weakness.
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:

I"ve been in your situation 2 months ago. I decided to go back to my doc and he gave me another bp med since I took previous med 4 weeks already. Since it is affecting your work, visit your doctor as soon as possible. It dont think it wil improve over time.Hope this helps

I think you should taper off this med slowly it is never good to just stop taking any med suddenly to many risks.
