Sleepiness: Sleepiness in your case may be due to the taking of tranquilizers like xanax (alprazolam) and some people experience fatigue or drowsiness while on beta blockers like metoprolol. Narcolepsy and sleep apnea can also cause problematic daytime somnolence. Discuss this symptom with your physician who will review your medications and refer you for appropriate tests or consultations with specialists like neurologist
