@jeanallen I would talk with your doctor before stopping Amlodipine and explain the side effects you are having. Also you may want to discuss alternative methods for lowering your blood pressure with your doctor. Here is some information that you might find helpful to discuss with your doctor:

I can offer anecdotal evidence for drinking golden milk to lower blood pressure.

Golden milk is a heated drink that is commonly consumed in India and consists of turmeric, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, and a small amount of a healthy fat. The name is a bit odd, but it has many and varied health benefits.

The small amount of black pepper increases the bioavailability of the anti-inflammatory curcumin in turmeric; heating also activates the beneficial compounds. Fat is necessary, as curcumin is fat soluble. I make it for my husband using fresh ginger and turmeric roots, a bit of goat's milk kefir, and cinnamon. Cassia cinnamon, the common form, contains a good deal of coumarin, a substance that, used on a daily basis, may cause liver and other damage, so I prefer to use Ceylon cinnamon.

Any healthy fat can be used, including, but not limited to, coconut or oat milk, kefir, or even a bit of avocado.

My husband has been on medication for high blood pressure for over thirty years. About two years ago, I learned that golden milk was a powerful anti-inflammatory and started making it for him to help with pain in his leg, hip, and neck from too much driving. Those pains eased, and I continued to make it for him daily.

About four months later, he returned from his annual physical with the very surprising news that his blood pressure that day had been normal.
i urged him to tell his doc about the golden milk and ask about carefully reducing his meds. To date, he has not done this, but I would urge anyone deciding to try golden milk to check for contraindications with medications that thin the blood, lower blood pressure, or the like; any medication, actually, and other supplements, as well.

There are organic powdered preparations available that I have given to my adult children, but my daughter prefers the fresh method, as do I, as there's a lot more in the fresh ginger and turmeric roots that's good for you.

I am sensitive to many herbs, medications, and supplements and cannot take this myself, but I'm happy with the benefits it provides my family.

There are many online sources to learn about golden milk. Here's one:
