I have been taking 10 mg of Amlodipine for 20 years now. Can the green tea I drink with ginseng in it interact with my medication? I also drink lemonade. I have been swelling in my feet and legs for about 4 years now. I also have sciatica now. I am taking some fluid pills for the swelling. I still swell. I have to keep my legs elevated.

[@dadame2909]

You might check and see if your Dr. can change to 5mg. 10mg caused my Mom's feet/legs swelled on 10mg. It stopped after going on 5mg.🙏🏾🌞🌻😇

I wonder if the grapefruit problem extends to related fruits. Blood orange juice can be processed to include the dividers which have that exact sharp grapefruit burn. I happen to be chugging a blood OJ stockpile which seems to be strongly lowering BP to the point I stopped amlo. BTW when they omit the bitter dividers in blood orange juice it is the most heavenly drink, reminiscent of sweet berries.

I'm 59 and my nurse practitioner put me on 5mg of Amlodipine and 10mg of Simvastatin a few months ago; both to be taken at bedtime. However, I usually take them two or three hours before bedtime, and then an 81mg coated aspirin closer to bedtime. I can't say as that I've noticed any problems so far, but should I alter this routine in any way? Thanks.

[@yewenyi]

So why don’t you just take less amlodopine and drink grapefruit juice to get the same effect? Would it be cheaper and healthier?

[@gorillaguerillaDK]

The effect is mainly due to how grapefruit juice changes the metabolism - the same thing happens to other drugs!

[@mariepierrelouis4431]

Grapefruit alone have 0 effects on blood pressure. Basically the issue is, when both grapefruit and amlodipine is in your system, they eventually get metabolized to get out of the body. But the enzyme that does the metabolism has a better affinity with grapefruit and binds to grapefruit instead and leaves amlodipine in the body and thus elongating the effect of amlodipine which is to lower blood pressure.

[@yewenyi]

@@mariepierrelouis4431 so it does effect blood pressure because it leaves the amlodopine in the blood. It just doesn’t effect it directly.

Started 5 mg of amlodipine side effects included feeling weird, diarrhea, painful gas, bloating, which eventually abates but the pains in my legs eventually went to stabbing pains. The doctor responds she never heard of leg pains as being a side effect but everything I've read, it definitely is a side effect. I asked to reduce my pill to 2.5 and lo and behold I had good blood pressure when I went back to see the doctor in a month I asked to be taken off because of the stabbing leg pains and was put on 10 mg of Lisinopril. Well then I have terrible anxiety/depression. Then the coughing starts along with post-nasal drip which I already have but it's worse to the point where I'm constantly drooling so badly at night it actually wakes me up. I'm sleeping with a towel at the side of my face so I could just drool on the towel, So I asked to cut that pill in half to five MGs. Yet, I continue feel flu-like, unwell, and tired all the time find the cost and drooling remains and I'm not the kind of tired that lets you stay asleep. I feel like I'm fighting every night trying to sleep. Oh and one night I had stomach pains so bad I lookedthat up and apparently lisinopril can cause edema in your stomach to a dangerous level. 😮 Anyway now I'm back to asking to go back to amlodipine. But I'm giving myself 5 days to get the lisinopril out of my system which did not lower my blood pressure. Alsom I had to take a blood test 2 weeks after starting it to make sure it didn't shut my kidneys down 😳 Fun times! I also want to mention that I have anxiety, I'm old so I have aches and pains anyway, I have mild post nasal drip, I have trouble sleeping and staying asleep and all these drugs do is make everything amplified and worst!😢

A diuretic helps the body eliminate excess fluid, excreted by the kidneys, and is often prescribed in tandem with an antihypertensive med like Amlodipine. The Amlodipine causes your blood vessels to dilate to make blood flow more easily through them to reduce blood pressure. I presently take a diuretic & antihypertensive med, & now will start taking Amlodipine, in addition, to help lower my pressure to optimum levels.
