Any feedback on side effects from taking Norvasc?
I just started the medication 4 days ago and I have had a massive headache and nausea since then. Is there a better medication with less side effects?
My doctor added 10 mg Norvasc to by current beta blocker + thiazide diuretic. I felt like a horse kicked me in the chest with every heartbeat. I quit taking it after 4 days.
These are common side-effects when someone first starts using Norvasc:
Headache, stomach pain or gas, nausea, vomiting, facial flushing, drowsiness or dizziness, unusual weakness or tiredness .
Most side effect do go away after your body adjust to the med, it can vary from person to person, but it usually takes approximately 2 weeks.
Here is the full monograph listing:

As to the leg cramps, that is not listed in what I am reading as a side effect, but as I said above, these things can vary from person to person. If they occur and are bothersome, please speak to your doctor or pharmacist, to make sure you are not experiencing a dangerous side effect.
Just started taking it yesterday, and noticed that my head was hot and cheeks were flush. Had massive headache too. No leg cramps yet.
Have you noticed if these side effects go away with prolonged use?
My daughter just started taking it and didn't complain of leg cramps, but she did have increased urination
I want to know if anyone has bad leg cramps from this rxs.or any other side effectts.
