Stopping Amlodipine

I had a reaction I think. I felt horrible. My muscles and joints were aching. Can I stop it after two days?

Those can be normal side effects of this medication, according to the NIH, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination.

Such side effects are typically transient and will go away, once your body gets used to the medication, but that may take about 4 to 5 weeks.

It would be best to have this checked out, rather than just stopping it, your doctor can prescribe an alternative medication that may not make you so miserable.

Is there anything else I can help with?
