For High Blood Pressure "I was on this medication for approximately two weeks, the time given for the medication to effectively take its full course. Well, for the first week, it did its job at lowering my BP, however, if there were side effects I got from it, then it would have been the moodiness. I was tired to the point of exhaustion, hungry all the time, and that horrible dry cough was so bad I thought I was going to cough a lung out, it sounded like I was a serious smoker. Exactly on the 14th day of taking it - July 3rd - my top lip began to swell. By the time I made it to the ER, my top lip had swelled 5x its natural size. Glad I got to the hospital before I went into anaphylaxis. Come to find out I am severely allergic to both amlodipine and benazepril. Terrifying experience."

For High Blood Pressure "Been taking this medication on and off. It brings the BP a bit down, but the side effects are horrible: coughing, pain in the knees, tired a lot, no energy, weight gain. For something that is supposed to help the symptoms, why not fix the problem instead of adding new ones?"

For High Blood Pressure "While I have not had any major side effects, just occasional coughing bouts, I have had a tough time losing weight... but have not gained."
