Regular drug reviews are a good idea, imho.
I suggest you specifically ask about taking both sertraline and aspirin. There probably is no concern at your current sertraline dose, or at 50mg, but the combination will become increasingly problematic as the dose rises. However, please don't stop taking the aspirin without first discussing it with your GP.
If you discontinue the aspirin there may be a small drop in BP as this often increases a little when aspirin and amlodipine are taken together. You GP will likely have considered this when selecting the amlodipine dose so it shouldn't be an issue at the moment, but maybe get your BP checked again a week or two after you stop taking the aspirin.
