User Reviews for Nifedipine

nifedipine for High Blood Pressure: Wow, after trying four different medications to lower my blood pressure with no success, nifedipine keeps my bp @ 118/76 as an average. So far I have had no side effects, as I have been taking the medication for almost five months.

Adalat CC (nifedipine) for High Blood Pressure: Adalat 60mg helps my high blood pressure but I have to go to the bathroom a lot.

Procardia XL (nifedipine) for High Blood Pressure: For a month after starting this drug I was very cold especially my legs, and could not get warm, and I was very shaky and trembley. I felt miserable and didn't realize what was wrong until I stopped the drug and everything went back to normal right away.

nifedipine for High Blood Pressure: Been taking for several month and swelling in my ankles and calves are a minor issue. First thing I do when I come home from work is put my feet up for about 30 minutes and that helps. Within about an 1 1/2 hours after going to bed I have to get up to pee, I think this is caused by the fluid build up. Blood pressure has been very good on this, about 126/85. I do feel tired and do not seem to have much energy most of the time.

Procardia XL (nifedipine) for High Blood Pressure: I've been taking Procardia XL for about 4 years now. My blood pressure stays fairly consistent. The only negative is that my feet and lower legs (knees down) swell a little when I'm standing for a long time. Fluids must accumulate in my lower extremities, I don't urinate as much when I'm standing, then urinate more than usual after I lay horizontal for a while. It does do a good job controlling the blood pressure and I only have to take 1 tablet a day.

Nifedical XL (nifedipine) for Raynaud's Syndrome: I've been taking this medication for quite a while for Raynaud's. I was concerned about my naturally-low blood pressure but Doctor said it wouldn't be affected. Seems that is the case. As far as Raynaud's, there are a few medicines I take that I describe as "I'm sure it helps, I'm not sure how much, don't want to find out what it's like without it". Also, my Raynaud's is accompanied by Mixed Connective Tissue Disease to complicate matters.

Procardia (nifedipine) for Raynaud's Syndrome: I am still having Raynaud's attacks, but this medication helps me recover faster from my attacks. Unfortunately it gives me horrible headaches but I have to outweigh the good to the bad, and this medicine is helping me.

Procardia (nifedipine) for Raynaud's Syndrome: Previous doctors did nothing to help me resolve attacks. My new doctor suggested ProCardia, but was worried because my blood pressure was low, and I may feel light-headed as a side effect. So far, this has not happened and I have not had an attack since. I wish this was prescribed to me 10 years ago!

nifedipine for Raynaud's Syndrome: Took this for 3 weeks and developed a severe rash, burning and itchy, it appeared all over my arms and legs and hands. Lost much sleep. Didn't improve Raynaud's syndrome.

When you first begin taking Nifedipine, It causes migraines for about the first 3 days. If you miss 2 or more doses, it causes headaches, flushing and nausea. I developed a rash and swelling on one side of my face. The rash covered my body. Do not take if you are taking Vitamin C or B complex.

nifedipine for Raynaud's Syndrome: I just started using this medication for my Raynaud's flare-ups which made me extremely cold, especially at night. Procardia XL has been great for improving the circulation in my hands and feet and has kept me warm. My only complaint about the medication is the tension headaches I have been getting since starting the medication and facial flushing. Both are easy to deal with though.

Procardia (nifedipine) for Raynaud's Syndrome: I have found this medicine very helpful. There was an adjustment period with headaches and dizziness. But it did get better, and the improvements are well worth it.

nifedipine for Raynaud's Syndrome: I recently started taking Adalat CC. I have found that if I take it before bed instead of mornings I don't get headaches but if I take it in the morning I feel funny and have a headache for most of the morning. I have found that I still have Raynaud's attacks but I recover somewhat better and I don't get as numb as I did but still get splotchy on hands and some blueness shows sometimes.

nifedipine for Raynaud's Syndrome: I get particularly bad pain, occasional numbness and lack of motor control in my hands and feet due to quite severe Raynauds. It makes many ordinary tasks like getting out of the sea at the beach incredibly difficult, dangerous and painful. Thankfully my introduction to this wonderful medication means that my attacks are much less frequent, and my partner has remarked at the noticeable sudden warmth in my usually cold as ice hands and feet. The only real drawback is that without a satisfactory amount of food it collaborated with my naturally low blood pressure to make me feel faint, it does not mix well with alcohol and it does not seem to prevent emotion based attacks. None the less, I can carry on living my life normally with it.

Adalat (nifedipine) for Raynaud's Syndrome: Its good.

nifedipine for Premature Labor: Used nifedipine in conjunction with other anti-labor medications when experiencing a complete premature rupture of membranes at 23 weeks gestation. Was able to carry to 27 weeks and delivered a healthy daughter.

nifedipine for Raynaud's Syndrome: I have experienced many ways of taking nifedipine and to get rid of the headaches. My doctors has me taken 30 mg XL 3 times a day instead of 90 mg once a day and I got rid of the headaches and all those other symptoms that you sometimes get.

nifedipine for High Blood Pressure: 30mg twice a day, blood pressure averages 140/85. 60mg twice a day blood pressure averages 112/69. After 6 hours, blood pressure goes up to 170 /110 . Unfortunate side effect of erectile dysfunction. 20mg of Levitra helps a little. Doctor is now trying me on Terazosin so we'll see.

nifedipine for Raynaud's Syndrome: I rated this at 50% because I'm not quite sure what's going on and how I feel about it. I have Raynaud's syndrome and my hands and feet are constantly cold, blue, white, etc. If I'm in the heat or long showers, my feet turn bright red and get painful. If I'm doing physical activties my hands get red and swollen. Anyway, I took this medicine for the first time at about 8:30 last night. It's now 4am and my feet are bright red, swollen, and painful, and my only minor relief is to keep my feet elevated (which can get tricky at work). They are warm, and my hands are warm, which is much different than usual, but this swelling is very bothersome. I'm not sure which is worse- before the meds or now. Right now, I think I'd rather take the cold.

nifedipine for High Blood Pressure: I was on a different brand of Adalat CC 30 mg. I am a Military Widow so fill most of my prescriptions at Military Base Pharmacies. In Dec. 2011, I had my prescription filled and noted the pill was different in color & size. The Military Pharmacist told me the Government had changed to a different drug company for Adalat and it might take 3 or more weeks before the new drug formula would work for me. Six weeks later, my blood pressure is not being controlled as well as my former Adalat prescription did. I can't switch to another brand for 90 days because TriCare for Life will not let me fill a new prescription till I run out of the brand I received. I cannot afford to pay over a $110 at a civilian pharmacy to change to another brand.
