Amlodipine! What can I say.all of these antidepressants have side effects which usually make you feel worse (much worse) before you feel better.

Doctors don't tell you they only work on about a third of people.i have taken quite a few and none of them worked.cant see the point of taking antidepressants if they make you feel worse when you feel like shit already.

If your GP. Prescribes venlafaxcine beware! They are poison!

Made me suicidal with horrendous side effects.

Mine went in the bin.along with all the others.!

Amlodipine is for Blood pressure control. It needs to be banned worldwide.

Yes amlodipine! Got confused with antidepressants. Had so many.just checked my drugs book.

Still needs to be banned.a lot of doctors don't know what the f..k they are prescribing.

My knowledge of antidepressants is far more knowledgeble than my docs.

It's been a week for me now that I changed the bp medicine. I still feel the effects a bit. I believe it messed up my vision. I got the new glasses 3 weeks after I started to take amlodipine. The new Rx seems to make me feel worse instead of better so today I put my old glasses on and it seems to make me feel better.

I read that it was banned in Holland because too many people committed Suicide while being on Amlodipine. That deuf needs to be banned worldwide.

Should be banned. Had nasty side effects from this, as did my brother when he was prescribed it.
