That's quite likely at first -- it takes getting used to. You may also have had too large a dose, or your pulse is already naturally low.
Metoprolol (lopressor) is definitely cardioselective and lipophilic.I don't see its use in psychiatry. There are even more selective ones, such as nebivolol.
These are modern medications for heart patients. I know my father takes metoprolol.-- Jay
