Somewhat depressed i have tinling in my hands ? | Add Norvasc review Took the medication for a month and developed severe shortness of breath and edema with 20 lb. weight gain. Stopped medication and symptoms disappeared. BP dropped 10 points while on medication but not worth it. Feel much better now after stoping medication. last refill had two different pills z3 and e56 After trying several drugs for hypertension my doctor arrived at calvederol and Norvasc (generic). This has has resulted in well controlled BP without negative side effects.However I have been being treated for depression and when I started the current BP treatment the depression disappeared.
