Brief Answer:
You can take safely Norvasc at nigh...

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX!

First of all you can take safely Norvasc (amlodipin) 5 mg at nigh in order to avoid the mentioned unwanted effects.

Secondly you mentioned a slight swelling and pain in left ankle, but this isn't related to Norvasc (amlodipin). Norvasc use is associated with a bilateral painless swelling.

I recommend to consult a rheumatologist to esclude rheumatismal causes (gout, podagra, rheumatoid arthritis ect.)

Hope this was of help!
