Norvasc (amlodipine): So far on 10 mg Norvasc and 80 mg Micardis. Has proven to be an effective combination for my hypertension. Previsouly my readings were around 160/90 and now it is around 130/75.
I am 39 years old, obese person (100kg) 5ft 6 inches in height.
I have been having hihg blood pressure for about a few years now and have tried quite a few types of medicine until these two which has been ok so far.

amlodipine: I have been on this medication for a few months and the results have been great for me. I also work out 5-7 days a week. I feel much better and I no longer have those nagging headaches. You should exercise to get the total benefit.

Norvasc (amlodipine): I take Norvasc half of a 5 mg daily and a l/2 fluid pill 3 times a week. I added Vit.B complex for stress, Vit.A and D, Vit.E, and potassium. This works well with me.

Norvasc (amlodipine): Riding a bicycle 30-40mins twice a day 3-6 days a week. Had trouble witha high diastolic pressure but since dose was increased from 5mg to 10mg, it dropped and the exercise has definitely prevented any swelling.

amlodipine: I cannot rate this highly enough, since just before I was prescribed amlodipine, my B.P. was 225/147 and was feeling decidedly unwell, have had serious hemorrhaging in my left eye for which I was regularly having laser eye treatment. After takin amlodipine within 24hours my B.P. went down to 136/78 and has stayed that way for the last 3 months.
