What Causes Fatigue, Memory Loss And Confusion While On Xanax?

Hello. I don't favor long term usage of Xanax
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
First off, benzodiazepines like Xanax are not to be used for extended periods of time--maybe a few weeks and no longer.
Long term usage has been shown to affect cognitive functions.
Second, beta blockers like metoprolol can cause fatigue and confusion.
So I'm not surprised that, with your being on both those medications, you're having the problems you mentioned.
Were I your doctor, I would wean you off the Xanax, and, if you need another medication for the anxiety, I would try Buspar. And there are other blood pressure medications like calcium channel blockers that, added to the amlodipine, could take the place of the motoprolol.
Please let me know if you need any more information
