I developed Edema in both of my feet due to amlodipine. I also have neuropathy now due to the Losartin. It’s just a shame that these cardiac drugs can create such horrible side effects. I have socks with gel pads that you put in the freezer that helps to temporarily relieve the pain from a Edema and neuropathy.

@judithlynne I am not familiar with amlodipine. I did take losartan quite a while ago for a few years but did not have any noticeable side effects from it. I'm sorry those medications are causing you such problems.
I was able to have my PCP give me a prescription for half of the smallest dose available of Lasix, and that seems to be helping with the swelling. It's funny because I take it in the morning and I don't really notice that I am urinating more but I do have incontinence issues so I have had to urinate frequently prior to taking Lasix.
If you can get a different prescription for your BP, something other than Losartin, would the neuropathy go away? If so I would try to get that changed. From what I have heard neuropathy can be very painful.

@heria, @ray666 Yes, this has been my reaction or side effect as soon as I started taking amlodipine. Stopped taking and swelling went away.
