"Caused severe swelling of my feet and tingling like with a diabetic condition. With so many complaints of the side effects, I don't understand why this is still on the market. Is it being prescribed solely because of perks to doctors to prescribe it?"

"I had been on 10 mg of Norvasc for years. After seeing my primary care doctor in January, she suggested I try Exforge. My BP was 170/80. Taking 5/160 made me feel sick to the stomach, dizzy, and I had developed an itch."

"I was on Norvasc 10 mg plus Tanoret for the last 10 years. My BP remained in the safe limit of 110/65. I became a patient of GERD (acid reflux) and was taking Nexium 20 mg almost every day. My doctor changed my BP medicine and prescribed Exforge 10/160, one tab a day. Surprisingly, my symptoms of GERD vanished as I switched over to Exforge. It has been 5 months and my BP most of the time remains 147/65. No GERD."

"Been on Exforge 5/165 for 3 months. Too tired all the time and gained 10 lbs. Will try 20 mg Prinivil and report back. Exforge did keep blood pressure down, but I had a bad side effect."

"Only been 10 days on Exforge and immediately felt better. Initially, I had tingling along my spine and in my head, which I'm glad someone else has had, as I didn't know it was the drug, and I started to panic. I have noticeable nipple enlargement, slightly dry mouth, and not as hungry as usual, which I'm glad about. It also helped with insomnia, but maybe a bit tired. Overall, pleased, and I definitely feel better."
