What Causes Weight Gain And Excessive Sweating After Taking Amlodipine?
I am taking 2.5 mg of amlodipine besylate and 100 mg metroprol er and I have gained about 10 lbs and have again stated to have bad hot flashes with excessive sweating even though I take estradoil .5mg. If I have one glass of wine it is magnified and lasts a long time like half hour. Which one of these drugs is doing this since it started about a month or so after I started taking them in April. Is there something else I can ask for that would help me in this area?

Hi,
Estrogen is the culprit for your weight gain.
You are on 2 antihypertensives and it seems that your blood pressure is getting overcorrected.
Reschedule your visit to your doctor and comply.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
