I only started with Norvasc 10mg 5 days ago and already gained 5kg since then. Now suffering with very swollen legs (entire both legs) and lips, and painful ankles/lower legs. My current BP reading is 118/78. What should I do? Thanks. Joyce

I'm having the same problem, my ankles swell up huge by night time and then I get up three or four times to the bathroom at night. When I'm at work, my shoes become so uncomfortable, I kick them off and then I can't get them back on. My problem is, I'm in court all day (a court reporter) and my feet show and it's very embarrassing.

you're retaining water, you need a water pill with this med. This was the only one that reduced my B.P but i had to have an additiona pill.
