Does Taking Toprol XL Along With Citalopram Cause Dizziness?

I take 50mg Toprol XL for BP. Started 20mg citalopram 2 months ago for mild anxiety, then reduced to 1/2 that about a month ago. Seem to be tired all the time, and light headed - a little weak. Could that be the mix of the two meds? Or could my blood pressure be up? I m 61, 6 4 tall, 225 lbs. and work out at least one hour, 5 times each week.

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic foryour health concern

The dizziness and fatigue you are experiencing is likely due to Toprol XL. Please follow up with your treating physician to get checked for low blood pressure and orthostatic hypotension, and make dose adjustment for Toprol accordingly.
