@zeke2u I take Metoprolol ER 25 mg (extended release) tablet in the evening. I thought the ER tablet , somehow, releases the active ingredient slowly overtime. Did you find that taking half in the morning and the other half at night make a difference? Or are you taking the regular dose, not ER. Thank you.

@k09 I had fatigue with Metoprolol too. There are options to try. Everyone, I’m told, reacts differently to the many meds available. Try other beta blockers in differing dosages, given at different times of day, slow release or not. I eventually settled on a calcium channel blocker called Verapamil, slow release capsule taken Am and Pm which did not create fatigue but did lower my heart rate, which was the goal. The trial and error is a long road but worth it to get your energy back. Good luck!

Yes, I was taking the one tablet every morning but really was too much later in the day, 40bpm😬
Cut it half and one half morning and one half evening. Made a big difference.
