If I take 30 pills of amlodipine pills, would it be enough to ctb?

Almost certainly not. Case in point, a 42-year-old woman with a history of hypertension reported ingesting 250-300 mg amlodipine besylate and at least 40 ounces of beer in a suicide attempt. The patient's symptoms were mild; BP ranged from 79/50 to 113/76 mm Hg and HR from 92 to 129 beats/min (sinus tachycardia). Laboratory studies revealed normoglycemia, mild metabolic acidosis, mild hypocalcemia, blood ethanol concentration of 263 mmol/L, and a serum amlodipine concentration of 88 ng/mL (normal 3-11) 2.5 hours after ingestion. Therapy included activated charcoal, whole bowel irrigation, and intravenous NaCl 0.9%. After receiving 1.5 L of NaCl 0.9%, the patient developed signs of mild pulmonary edema that resolved over several hours without intervention. A serum amlodipine concentration obtained 35 hours later was 79 mg/mL. The patient was discharged on day 2 in good condition.

But if the overdose lowers my BP then will it make the night night method easier?

Sorry offtopic. Bt would amlodipine be at least somewhat reasonable alternative to a betablocker supplement for the SN method to easy tachycardia symptoms ?
