If i already struggle with fatigue can taking metoprolol make me feel more tired?

Metoprolol can cause an increase in fatigue, especially when it is first taken. But, often after it is taken for a while, this side effect does get better. So, if the metoprolol is needed for a serious condition, the fatigue in all likelihood will be temporary. If the fatigue is severe, a different med can be given. Good luck!

The best bet to have one’s fatigue evaluated is to discuss this directly with a healthcare professional who can evaluate your whole health history to identify other possible contributing factors to fatigue. However, the medication has been associated with fatigue - both in general and because it can reduce a person’s ability (“capacity”) to exercise.
