Hi,
Beta-blockers may cause generalized weakness and Hydrochlorothiazide may cause electrolyte imbalance.
But you may also check for viral fever, insomnia or hypothyroidism or anemia may present like generalized weakness and depression.
Drink plenty of water, check hemoglobin status, electrolyte level and thyroid profile.
Please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
