Me on this medication a month ago 5 mgs went for bp check 2 weeks later bp 172/93. She said take 10 mg check today 186/114. Wanted me to pay her 100 dollars for an office visit to change my medicine. Think I will just go back to my lisinopril I went online to research the same situation and thanks teacher. I started amlodipine in addition to bisoprolol, which I have been on for some time, four weeks ago. Almost immediately my BP went from 125-130 to 145-150. I stuck with it for three weeks and took myself off. Four days later I am back down to 125. I restarted taking Ameal Peptide 3.5mg which has had a good stabilizing affect on my BP. I should have not stopped taking it. I am waiting to talk to my doctor. I hope this helps beachlover6454 24 April 2018 I too experienced a noticeable spike in my bp after adding Amlodipine 5mg to Losartan 100mg. While taking Losartan alone, my bp would hang between 115/75-140/85. I guess this wasn't accept to my doctor, who then added the 5mg of Amlodipine. After only 1 week, my bp is hanging around 160/86. I was also almost unable to stay awake during the day. I stopped taking it today and went back to just the Losartan. IMMEDIATELY, my bp was back down to about 125/80. I like that bp and will never take Amlodipine again. I hope you will at least talk to your doctor about discontinuing Amlodipine. Your side effects are off the chart. I'll say a pray for you, ThatTeacherGuy. Hi ThatTeacherGuy. This medication is taken to help lower your blood pressure. Am I right? Wow the side effects are crazy eh? Other medications; even some vitamins; can have an interaction with Amlodipine. Does your doctor know everything you’re taking? Are you in any pain? I know from experience that pain can make your blood pressure go up. I know I probably didn’t help you any; but I hope you find out what’s going on. Take care and best wishes.
