Thanks for contacting HCM
I am sorry to hear that you are having neck stiffness after taking amlodipine. This is not a usual side effect from taking amlodipine.
I recommend that you take Tylenol for the pain. try gentle range of motion exercises. moist heat and if possible massage to reduce the neck spasms
Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your health care questions and concerns
