"I was prescribed 10 mg Amlodipine to treat coronary artery spasm after 2 myocardial infarctions at 35 and 37 years. First came nausea, which lasted about 2 weeks, however, the chronic insomnia and horrific, extremely vivid nightmares began almost immediately and are still persisting even though I stopped taking it about 6 days ago. Another side effect I experienced was extremely stiff and sore feet - I thought I had developed painful arthritis overnight, and walking on them was horrible. I also experienced extreme fatigue all day every day, making it near impossible to care for my three children at home, who are all under school age. I thought I was losing my mind. Feeling a bit better every day. This was a very scary experience for me."

"I was first put on Atenolol 50 mg and Nifedipine 20 mg to treat my high blood pressure in 2018. Two years later, I started having chest pains and being overweight, so I decided to visit the doctor and did the ECG scan and other stuff, only to find that the blood vessels are narrowed. The doctor changed the medication to Amlodipine 10 mg, Propranolol 40 mg ×3/day, Aspirin 75 mg, and Atorvastatin for 30 days, and later recommended just Amlodipine 5 mg/day and Aspirin 75 mg. For 3 years now, I can run."

"Not sure if it's the meds, but since starting on it, my memory isn't so good, it feels like my brain is fuzzy, and I find it hard to concentrate. I am on it for peripheral arterial disease (PAD)."
