Brief Answer:
Try beta blockers or calcium channel blockers

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:

1. Both the medication are not known to induce sleep.

2. They can rarely cause drowsiness.

3. You need to get your blood pressure evaluated for low blood pressure or hypotension. This can cause drowsiness rarely.

4. If change of medication is necessary.. Beta blockers like atenolol or calcium channel blockers like amlodipine maybe tried.

You will need prescription from your doctor.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
