Posted on Fri, 10 Jun 2016
Question: Hi, I am a 77 year old female, I was on azor 5/20 for two years for my blood pressure. I started to get the same terrible side effects when I first started the drug. I stopped and have been getting withdrawal symptoms for
About two months now. Ekg fine, blood work fine, cat scan fine. Blood pressure ok. Will withdrawal last much longer? Thank you.

Brief Answer:
there are no withdrawal symptoms...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

for amlodipine and olmesartan there are no related withdrawal symptoms. Your symptoms (which haven't been mentioned) have to be due to something else. Besides that 2 months time is more than enough for the drug to be completely eliminated.

If you'd like to describe your symptoms, perhaps it would help me to suggest potential causes.

Kind Regards!
