Can Over Dosage Of Amlodipine Cause Any Side Effects?
I take amlodipine besylate 2.5 mg daily along with hydrochlorothiazide 25mg, metoprolol tart 50mg 2x daily, prednisone 5mg, fish Oil with vitamin d, and a prenatal vitamin. I accidentally took an extra amlodipine instead of the metoprolol around 12 a my first dose was at 12 noon 12 hours apart instead of 24.. What do I do I woke up sweating heart racing nauseated an hour ago..

Hi,
Yes, overdose of Amlodipine can cause increased heart beats, sweating, palpitation, flushing and fainting (low blood pressure). There is nothing to worry. Rest in a quiet & dimly lit room. Raise the head of your bed. Stand up slowly when getting out of your bed or chair. The symptoms would subside in due course of time however, you should consult your doctor if there is no relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
