Although every one is different Id like to share my experience with amlodopine, which I take daily along with 2 other drugs for the last 18 years......it helps to maintain very good BP after a 10 year battle from 23 years old with hypertension and no known source.....

no problem with amlodopine that I could identify......I say test over time with results and speak your concerns to your GP....

Hello and welcome to the forum!

I was on Amlodipine for a while. Whilst it controlled BP well I suffered with oedema with it. Another CCI (Calcium Channel Inhibitor) didn't cause any issues but had minimal effect on BP. As you say we are all different.
