Woke up with pain in both sides of calfs could it be side affect of amlodipine been on them a week .cant think what else it could be in both legs.

amlodipine: Amlodipine might cause your symptom if fluid retention in your legs is present but it would be unusual to be in the legs on waking, generally would be later in the day.
