Thanks for chiming in. May I ask how long you were on amlodipine before you notice the swelling? What was your amlodipine dosage? My hubby's is 2.5 mg(lowest dosage) daily so that's not very much. I wouldn't think this tiny amount would have much effect? I will certainly discuss this issue with neph. Thank you!

I was on it for over a year, at a higher dose. My leg/feet swelling issues started slowly and built up. Apparently that side effect is a known one, but not real common. I have other co-health issues they were attributing to the effect. It was a student dr who asked my neph if that might be the reason, that caused her to look at things differently!
