Used this for years with no problems. Tried the generic and my readings flared up, I went back to name brand.

I had dry cough and stomach pain after a few days of using. I have no sleep due to frequent cough. Glad that it was discontinued.

However, sometimes my blood pressure is low. It has, however, decreased my migrane headaches!

I have no success with this drug. If I eat over 1,000 mg of sodium, my blood pressure shoots up and won't come down though I have taken the drug.

The amlodipine-benaz combo has been very effective; much moreso than the straight amlodipine. Was on Lotrel, but notice no difference with this (except cost savings).

Slight decrease in male sexual ability, but not sure if it's the drug or just age. Otherwise, everything is great.

I started on this med in March 2008 and was ok for several months. It did keep my blood pressure down. However, in the summer of 2008 I developed a cough (dry, intermittent) which progressed to a gag reflect several times a week. No other condition appeared to have caused this cough. My doctor switched me in October to Amlodipine only and said that she had heard about this side effect from other patients.
