AJ, some sleep aids are contra-indicated wtih Metoprolol. Some research has shown that melatonin supplement can help with sleep for people taking beta-blockers.

I suggest talking to your doctor and/or pharmacist before taking a sleep aid with Metoprolol.

Thank you so much, Colleen. This is helpful to know and I'll follow up with my doctor. I hope I can do something that will help with sleep.
