Metoprolol can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Avoid drinking alcohol, which could increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking metoprolol.

• 
  a heart problem such as heart block, sick sinus syndrome, or slow heart rate;

• 
  depression;
• 
  liver or kidney disease;
