Can I take Metoprolol and Trazadone together?

Why this happens

Both drugs can lower blood pressure and heart rate (an additive effect). Additionally, trazodone may interfere with the liver enzymes (specifically CYP2D6) that break down metoprolol, potentially leading to higher levels of the heart medication in your system.

You can take these together, but you should be cautious. Monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly. When getting out of bed or sitting up, do so slowly to avoid dizziness. If you feel very faint, experience a very slow pulse, or have extreme tiredness, contact your doctor. They may need to adjust your doses.
