Norvasc and experiences

After reading other people's experiences with Norvasc, I realized that my symptoms are almost identical. I thought it was rheumatoid arthritis and asked my doctor to give me some tests and all came back negative. I started 5mg of Norvasc about 10 months ago and about 6 months in I started to get muscle spasms in my feet, then spasms and muscle twitching in legs, arms and hands. Extreme flushing in feet, small freckle-like rash on feet, lower legs and ankles. Also have what I would call chronic fatigue and just cannot get myself up and down stairs well. I'm 57 and feel like 100. All over body pain is very debilitative. I've gone from an active, happy person to a cranky person in pain 24 hours a day. So, now I have taken myself off Norvasc and am waiting to see if there is an improvement in my health. I'm still on coversyl for my blood pressure and will talk to my doctor again. It is so true that you must be your own health advocate and try to stay on top of all your health issues.

I was recently switched from Toprol XL to the generic form of Norvasc. I have been on it for a little over a month now. I am feeling less tired although i do notice more frequent headaches and some constipation. I don't have any swelling yet but I haven't been on this medicine that long. But I am 2 weeks late with my period and am wondering if this new medicine has something to do with it. I have fertility issues so pregnancy is unlikely although not impossible. Has any other women had any other similar experiences.?I was never late or missed a period and now this is freaking me out.
