What Causes Fatigue And Constipation While On Metoprolol?

I was on Losatran/HCTZ100/25 prior to a new stint last week. Cardio put me on metoprolol 12.5 twice a day and Brilinta 90 twice a day. I see cardio next week and do not want to call over the week end but I did not do well on metoprolol after first stint 8 years ago, night mares, loss of energy, and constipation. Back to the same, would like to discuss with my Dr about going back to the Losartan. I feel this last episode was more my fault than the meds. I had become to attracted to high calorie craft beer and was putting on weight. I am making lifestyle changes.
