Does Metoprolol Cause Sleeplessness?
Hi I have a real problem with insomniac have a real problem with insomnia and it occurred to me that I take my metoprolol tartrate just before I go to bed. Do you think this could be causing it. I’ll be falling asleep reading and as soon as I hit the bed I can’t sleep. Would taking it three or four hours earlier help?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are very right, Metoprolol like all beta blocker can cause sleep disturbance. So if it is causing you sleep disturbance, you can use the drug in the morning. However be careful that it may cause some dizziness in some people.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rahman
