Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query dear,
Amlodipine can be taken safely upto a dose of 10 mg/day.

Please take your blood pressure before doubling the doses(If systolic blood pressure is more then 100 mm of hg then you can take the dose safely).

To reduce anxiety you can take anxiolytic like Etizolam 0.25 mg once daily(Its non habit forming drug).

Hope i was helpful.
