Your comment made me smile!! For me this past week, I gradually stopped Metropopal because it was just as you described. I am working on changing the time I take Amlodipine. I took Lovastatin today at 6am with my breakfast and didn't have any stomach or sleepy issues. I took my Amlodipine 3 hours later and no stomach or sleepiness for the last 2 hours. I am at the park now and walked for 45 minutes. I hope this is a good sign.
