Are Hallucinations Normal While On Amlodipine?
My grandmother takes Amlodipine along with other medications, she has started seeing things that aren't really there.... bugs joining her at dinner, fish coming out of her kitchen faucet, plants growing out of bathtub. She won't let anyone monitor her medication, could she be taking too much of this medication?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your grandmother experiencing hallucinations while on amlopidine . Well hallucination is found among some people who take Amlodipine , especially for people who are female and 60+ old . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist and discuss the condition with him/her . Doctor may change the dose as it will be helpful or prescribed some substitute .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
