Hi,
Both Atenolol and Lopressor are beta blockers in therapeutic class and both drugs make you extremely tired as a common side effects of these medications. You should contact with your prescribing doctor and inform him about the side effect of this medication. Other anti-hypertensive medications are also available which will not make you tired or fatigue. Your doctor can choose anti-hypertensive medication among them.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
