(Newest replies first)

I am taking 60mg of nifedipine and I am having unpleasant dreams every night. Is there an alternative which does not have this side effect?

I was put on Nifedipine 90mg and first dose I had a tremendous nightmare. I'm not a person who gets nightmares. I stopped taking it immediately. I am sorry for your experience. I totally understand.

I've been taking this for 20 days, taking at bedtime, I've had several dreams and many nights not sleeping, about 4 hrs after taking I wake up with headache, although it is less now. Will the sleeplessness eventually leave.
I don't like not sleeping.

I've been taking nifedipine 30 twice a day for almost a year. It can cause vivid dreams. I have some strange ones but not every night. They are not nightmares. When we are stressed we dream anyway and these meds exacerbate your thoughts because of the things you are worried about before you go to sleep. Once you deal with those outside problems you will still have vivid dreams, but more likely not upsetting ones. Just my opinion from my own experiences.

Hello, Mick! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're experiencing.

That is possible with most medications. How long have you been taking it?

Most side effects tend to go away, once your body gets used to a medication, which generally takes about 4 to 5 weeks.

The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension.

There are other medications available, so if it's still happening and it's been longer than 5 weeks, it will most likely just be a matter of trial and error to find one that doesn't cause you such an issue.
