I believe it does because I have been having the same problem.I have been on this med for about a month.So your not the only one.How long have you been taking it?
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.
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.
same here...
Id rather have that than ANYthing
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..
it will take longer, and yes not a big ending... i feel sorry for young couple who want to have kids
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?
My doc said it was ok to stop the blood pressure medication for a day. With its short half life, that should open the door for sexual activity. She wants me back on the med (norvasc) asap.
Norvasc the drug I take very much dampens the effect of ED Meds , I stopped the drug and saw a great improvement!
Amlodipne is contraindicated for ED, so are all anti hypertensive drugs.
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)
just about all of them do that... I avoided doctors for most of my life for that very same reason
there ARE a couple herbal remedies but dont work as well on the diastolic... arjuna bark extract, and olive leaf extract
Ive tried Bystolic, has the least effect on my "noodle" I take it every other day... when I anticipate /want sex, I dont take it for a couple days
and yes it still works:)
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.
it is good to know that your pressure is 110/70. What was it before?
erectile dysfunction, amlodipine, hypertension
