If so, what are your experiences?

I take 10mg amlodipine and 100mg losartan plus a diuretic for high blood pressure. It rocketed when I was told to take ibuprofen for arthritis, so started the amlodipine about 4 months ago.
My feet and ankles are swelling more than usual in the warm weather and I get a strange sharp creeping pain in one foot. I think I need a change!

I take Amlodipine 5mg daily.- done for past 5 years - no adverse effects. Having said that, I recently notice my feet swell up in the night (after a shower). It’s probably the warm weather and nothing to do with Amlodipine.
