My husband switched from taking one 50 mg Toprol XL a day to taking 2 – 25 mg of Lopressor a day, about 2 weeks ago. He has been very tired lately, and has no energy. Could the Lopressor be the culprit?

They are basically equivalent, however if he believes he is more tired on the Lopressor he should contact his doctor.
Could be it’s knocking his blood pressure down too low. Call the doc. Could also be an allergic reaction. My mom had that to a blood pressure pill. Caused her heart to beat too slow. Not enough oxygen going throughout the body. They took her off the pill, tried a different kind, and she’s just fine.
Yes it could be. I’ve had the same problem. Normaly though the effects will level off in about 2 weeks or so and become less bothersome. If he is still having problems, he should talk with his doctor to see if there are other options for him.
