Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Nausea, dizziness and headache aren't usually related to Amlodipine withdrawal. Since this symptoms appear weeks after stopping Amlodipine there they aren't related to Amlodipine withdrawal.
However in order to exclude hypertension as the possible cause of your symptoms you should measure it and if the BP is normal than your symptoms may be related to inner ear problems.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you help!
