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. Published: October 05, 2007 ::

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 off immediately. My suggestion...keep a notebook, do your own research, be persistent with your dr. & follow your instinct. Published: February 04, 2008 ::

I had uncontrolled high blood pressure for years until Norvasc was added to my meds. Norvasc was like the miracle drug for me. When the generic equivalent was substituted, however, I had an adverse reaction and my blood pressure skyrocketed. My Dr. has since written the prescription "daw". I would like to know the differences between the generic and non-generic drugs. Published: April 27, 2008 ::

Sure wish my doctor would have been aware of the side effect of swelling. I had severe edema in my lower legs and ankles. This went on for several months. My doctor even had a therapist treat my legs with massage & tight wraps for months, to no avail. The swelling was so bad it caused blisters (which I still have, and always will, even after the swelling is gone). Sometimes my legs were so swollen & tight I was unable to stop the fluid from leaking & runing down my leg. Finally, my doctor had an 'idea' to change my blood pressure medicine - the swelling instantly stopped! So, just a warning to all, doctors can't know everything - sometimes we have to be our own advocates! Published: June 13, 2008 ::

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. Published: September 25, 2007 ::

This medication worked in lowering my blood pressure, but have had big problems with swelling in feet and legs. Lots of pain in feet and legs. Taking fluid pill, but does not keep the swelling down. Also losing hair, blurried vision, and headaches. I do not really like this medication. Published: August 09, 2008 ::

I had no problems with Norvasc for a year. The insurance company then changed my prescription to the generic form and I started having extreme (very painful)swelling of the legs and ankles for several months. My (former) doctor did not know why I was swelling. Thank God I went to another doctor who immediate diagnosed the problem and change my prescription. Swelling went away immediately but a year later I still have darkness around my ankles from the swelling. I wish I had read the reviews before I started taking the medication. Also wished by former doctor had also. Published: August 01, 2008 ::
