A member asked:

How long after stopping amlodipine do the side effects last after taking it for 2 yrs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually 2 weeks: The side effects (most commonly swelling, rashes, GI complaints) should typically go away within a few weeks. If they don't you should definitely consult your doctor.
