Feels Tired, Depressed Always, Takes Metopolol, Hydroclorothiazide. Are These Side Effects ?

my wife takes Metopolol and Hydroclorothiazide and she feels tired and depressed all the time. Iknow the side effects of each drug could cause her feeling down. I heard that Hydroclorothiazide was no longer being used because of some harmful side effects. I take furosemide and the side effects are frequent urination!! I think my BP went up when i read the terms.

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

Tiredness and depressed mood in your wife might be due to
- Electrolyte imbalance as a side effect of diuretics
- Hypotension
- Depression as a separate illness

You should consult your doctor for detailed evaluation and management. Doctor may advise you to go for blood tests including electrolytes and vitamin B 12 level to rule out physical causes.

If she is under stress, You should take her to psychiatrist foe detailed evaluation and management.

I hope It will help you.

Thanks.
