I have taken this for several years with no apparent problems. March this year my doctor changed me from 5 to 10 mg, now I have to have gum surgery due to overgrowth of my gums and the invi7liners cause it moved my teeth! Several thousand dollars!

Comment:
I was on 5MG for one week only when I had a sudden fainting spell with no warning. The fall caused me to slam my head which resulted in a seizure. I don't know if Amlodipine was the culprit but the faint was a first for me and nothing else had changed in my life. Stated side effects indicate care should be taken during the first week of use, so I quit.
