Lotrel (amlodipine/benazepril) for High Blood Pressure: Lotrel has worked for me with a low dosage. The higher dosage caused side effects. Tried five different blood pressure medicines before and they all had side effects such as swelling or leg cramps.

Lotrel (amlodipine/benazepril) for High Blood Pressure: I have been taking Lotrel now for 9 years. I also take synthorid with it. Granted I have gained a lot of weigth. Where as before I weighted 140 I now weight 205. If there is a way I can loose this weight I will be happy to. I have problems with my left angle, it is always swelled. Only when I can stay off of it does it go down.

Lotrel (amlodipine/benazepril) for High Blood Pressure: I have severe muscle spasms in the back of my legs. I have been on it for about 2 months. My knees are fine, I just turned 50. The drug is doing its job. Sometimes I get dizzy when I get up fast or have to bend over to pick something up.

Lotrel (amlodipine/benazepril) for High Blood Pressure: I was prescribed Lotrel by my doctor and given some samples of the capsule. I had severe knee and foot pain within a week and
quit taking the drug after one and half weeks (approx). It has been almost a month and a half and I still have a lot of pain. Has anyone else had this type of reaction to Lotrel?
