Amlodipine 2023-03-02 Person 2 5 0

My cardiologist got me to try this twice insisting it’s the most tolerated blood pressure medicine on the market with the least side effects. Well I’m sorry but one size does not fit all it has taken me forever to prove to them that this makes me so sick. I practically felt judged and shamed just because it didn’t work for me. I even attempted to score at 2.5 mg tablets in half and for two weeks I basically took 1.25 mg and still got sick. He added this to my carvedilol for which I do excellent on but amlodipine is a disaster drug for me. I completely empathize with anyone that feels the same way about this horrific medicine and if your cardiologist doesn’t believe you fight to prove yourself not to be in the one size, fits all category and then find yourself a new cardiologist like I did!! I never wanted to believe it but I do believe to this day doctors are paid by drug companies to push one drugs over another, thankfully my primary care and went over his head and got me the good combination that works with my carvedilol keep fighting for what’s best for you not what’s best for the doctors. Best wishes to everyone.
