Hi. The time line you are mentioning is fairly long period .amlodipine has slight tendency for stone formation according to studies but it not alone is the only risk factor for stone ,there are many significant risk factors like non veg diet ,low water intake .and others ,in my opinion it’s not needed to change.amlodipine, unless your hypertension is not under control.

Very unlikely the cause may be by amlodipine, rather change your daily lifestyle like drinking adequate water daily, no or less junks, more of fibers and less carb diets. That will help you a lot. Also get one physician consultation regarding hypertension any change of dosages/ compositions.
