A member asked:
I am on 5 mg of norvasc (amlodipine) and 37.5 of triamterne and i feel like i am on a stimulant. it this a normal side effect?

Perhaps yes: Norvasc (amlodipine) causes vasodilation and triamterene is a diuretic. Your body may react to these by speeding up your heart rate, especially if you don't drink enough water. You should discuss this with your doctor.
