Should I Cut Down Metoprolol Dosage Due To Fatigue While Doing Hypnosis Weight Loss Therapy?

I am doing hypnosis weight loss therapy effectively. I have lost about 30 lbs since November 13, 2013. I take Metoprolol tartrate, 75 mg twice daily and Losartan, 50 mg daily. I have been extremely fatigued over the past 5 days. Should I cut down the dosage of the Metoprolol?

Hello
I'm going to assume you take the metoprolol for high blood pressure.

You might be able to lower the dosage at this point but you shouldn't do that without first consulting your doctor.

That said, there are other possible causes for fatigue including anemia, heart conditions, and low thyroid so you need to let your doctor know about this so you can get the appropriate testing
