Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on - Ask a Doctor - service!
I understand your concern and would like to explain that as Amlodipine has brought to adverse effects it is necessary to stop it.
You may stop taking it suddenly, but meanwhile it is necessary to closely monitor your blood pressure values.
In case your blood pressure keeps showing persistently high values, further therapy optimization is required. Alternative anti-hypertensive medications may be considered.
You should discuss with your prescribing doctor about the adverse effects of Amlodipine.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
In case of any further questions, feel free to ask me again.
Kind regards,

Hello!
You may completely stop Amlodipine from therapy and double Telmisartan daily dose (from 40 mg to 80 mg) to compensate for any blood pressure values increase.
It is recommended to closely monitor your BP values (several times daily) to properly guide the ongoing therapeutic scheme.
Let me know in case of any further questions.
Wishing you good health!

Brief Answer:
I would recommend as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
There are many drugs which can help regulate your sleep wake cycle.
I don't think that amlodipine is the cause of poor sleep. Maybe it is just a primary sleep disorder.
First , I would recommend trying melatonin 5mg or 10mg at bedtime. This is a hormone which is produced in our body in order to help regulate sleep wake cycle. It is a natural way to regulate sleep.
Other natural remedies would be camomile tea, passiflora and valeriana supplements.
If all the above remedies don't help, I would recommend taking mirtazapine at low dose at bedtime to help improve your situation.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best,
