Any withdrawal symptoms from stopping amlodipine?

I, too, was on Amlodipine/Benazepril 5/40 for several years with no problem but after stopping them for a few months, body itches from time to time, occasional rash and labored breathing. No swelling on the feet or ankles and most important, the labored breathing and fatigue. It will last several hours. Mostly on weekends as I write this. Worst, I know what time it's going to hit! I am going back to see the doctor after a long year of working from home due to the pandemic. During that time i will take BP supplements, drink beetroot juice and try to eat right. I did that but the drug is still in my system. I may have to go back on this med if these symptoms persist. Good luck.

It is not recommended to stop the amlodipine due to the effect it can have on the heart. Uncontrolled hypertension is a serious condition. You won't have withdrawals like you get from stopping a narcotic, but it can adversely affect your heart and blood pressure.

LaurieShay is rite, I take amlodipine and once or twice when I have missed some doses I have felt uneasy due to HBP.
