High Blood Pressure
"I have been taking Amlodipine (Norvasc) for about 2 months.

Norvasc (Amlodipine Besylate 5 mg) did lower my blood pressure from 150&#039;s over 80&#039;s to 120&#039;s over 60&#039;s.  That&#039;s great.  

Problem is with side effects every day.  Intestinal cramps, diarrhea, gas. Begins about 5 hours after I take the pill.  Stomach (intestines ?) roll constantly for about 3 hours. 

I am going to try splitting the pills in half and see if lower dosage stops the side effects.  If not, I guess I&#039;ll go back to the doctor and try something else for blood pressure.  It seems like all of these blood pressure pills have side effects of one kind or another."
