Was on 10MG for 6 mths. Started having severe reactions, nightmares, shortness of breath, quickening heartbeat, extreme fatigue, extra heartbeat, sleeplessness. Talked to dr., kept notebook of BP & side effects, Was told to stay on meds. Developed heart attack type symptoms, went to emergency room, had stress test, blood work, etc. Cardiologist registered my severe reaction to Norvasc & took me of...
What They Do today is dangerous ,instead of having a doctor aware of all your problems they send you to many who Know nothing But one thing...these reviews have scared me so because I have so many bad things wrong already it has caused for others I am really scared to try it...Sorry It is so bad to just be a number to these Doctors Not a real Patient.The reviews may have Helped alot

Norvasc made me lose touch with reality. I did not know who I was, where I was, or who people that I knew where.

Since I've been on Norvasc, I've had swollen ankles and I have been experiencing pain in my legs, hips and feet. My strength has deminished and I've had this stinging burning feeling in my feet and ankles. The only reason that I gave it two(2) stars for satisfaction is because it did lower my blood pressure, but I'm not satisfied at the overall experience.

My husband began taking norvas for high blood pressure around the end of July. Norvas did bring his blood pressure under control; however, his ankles became so swollen that they hung over the side of his shoes. The he has developed a mass in both breast and is having surgery tomorrow. This is very scary.

My hair was falling out, I stoped all my medication one at a time and found norvasc was the one. I have not had any problems since.
