Taking Amlopidine 5mg - my problem is incontinency and constipation

big time - the medication calmed down my blood pressure and completely put my bladder and colon muscles to sleep

Anybody has the same embarrassing side effects, and what did your doctors say to that?  Mine said never mind, continue to take the pills.  I am also very tired, can't form an intelligent thought, could sleep 12 hours.

I am off this drug now, but it stays in your system for around 6 weeks, one minute I have loose stool, next for days very constipated, what a life! I have problems sleeping, sometimes no sleep at all, dont want to go down the road of sleeping tablets.. Hope your problems calm down... 

I have started to experience constipation and flatulence after being on this drug for several months. I also take Valsartan as well. I never had a problem until starting on Amlodipine besylate.
