A member asked:

Was wondering how long pain would take to go away from pins and needle side effect from amlodipine will it stop once meds are flushed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weeks: It is a very rare side effect and depending on how long you took the medication it can take about 6 weeks to go away. If not, then check with a neurologist for neuropathy.
