Hello,
Metoprolol is a safe drug and side effects are very minimal even after long term use.
Some patients experience side effects like dizziness and fatigue rarely, otherwise, it is a safe drug devoid of major adverse effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
