Good news is that Nifedical has lowered my blood pressure but my side effects are really a pain. After 2 weeks of taking the medication I have experienced gas and bloating 24/7 for 3 months now as well as sexual problems. I can no longer get wet in my vagina. But if I have to choose a wet vagina and no gas over lowering my blood pressure I would surely choose to lower my blood pressure.

I have been taking this medication for less than one month. I am dizzy all of the time and cannot seem to get enough sleep. I also take six or seven other medications for blood pressure and my heart.

Took three years and three primary doctors to finally find a medication to lower my blood pressure and not experience any side affects. I've taken all the familiar wonder drugs and had serious side effects with uncontrolled blood pressure. Nifedical is really a wonder drug for me.

I definitely have fluid retention in hands, legs, and feet. It keeps the blood pressure down to a degree 130/90 and lower depending on what foods I eat. It has caused significant hair loss. I am trying to go to supplements, diet and exercise. As soon as I find something that works for a day onto a week, I am getting off of this medicine.

mt neuropathy has increased over the years. as a kid I was told to go take a hot bath. I used my 15# tom cat under the covers to keep my feet warm. As a young aduld I always had a heating paid at my desk and in the foot of my bed during cold weather. About 1970 my physician said I had Raynads and gave me some medidian that I quickly vomited back up. Then had chills, a headache, etc. Never used the medicine again. About 4 years ago my physican prescribed nifedical xl for me. it has helped. I know when it is time to take my next dose as my feet and calfs turn cold and have reduced feeling.Read More Read Less

I have be taking this medicine (Procardia) or Nifedical 60mg once a day for a week. I switched from Labetalol 300 mg twice a day. I love the way I feel through out the day, no more migraines. The downside, my ankles are always itching, looks like I have a small rash and my ankles are sore. I wrapped up one foot because I thought maybe I hit it on something, but the next morning, the other foot was hurting! Glad to read other reviews and know this is a side effect. I'm going to ask my doctor about this anyway because I don't want to be an amputee. jeez Read More Read Less

I have been taking this(60 mg twice a day) for 2 weeks. The doctor took me off Amlodipine because my BP is very high and jumps up and down. Now it is "stable" at about 175/70. I also take Hydralazine 100mg 3times a day, Doxasozin 4mg twice a day and Lasix 20 mg once a day. I am tired all the time, take frequent naps.

I had a "failed Gastric Bypass" surgery in 2003. I lost my teeth within 6 months of the surgery, and now "malabsorb" all food and medications I take. High blood pressure was a terrible result of my surgery and this medication in the only one which has effectively brought my blood pressure reasonably,since.I can take up to 2 a day it says on my RX, but I very rarely need to. Thanks so much. Sleeping in Seattle!
