Hello,
The side effects you are describing that is restless leg syndrome and itching etcetera can happen with tablet Norvasc which contains Amlodipine which is a calcium channel blocker. I would advise you to consult with your physician and get it substituted with a different antihypertensive.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
