METOPROLOL TARTRATE  (METOPROLOL TARTRATE):  Metoprolol is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication is also used to treat chest pain (angina) and to improve survival after a heart attack. Metoprolol belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.   FDA Approval Date: 1994-03-25 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  palpitations My life ended when I started this drug. In 9 years I gained 80 lbs, lost my libido, my humor, I have horrible dreams. Getting ready for an ablation and doc took me off Metroprolol, flecainide and cartia all at once. I feel like I'm ready to die with a pounding heart, a-fib and a wicked headache. I'm hoping for a cure with the ablation. F 65 9 years

 5  Post-ablation A-Fib. I have vivid dreams, but they're great! I love metoprolol tartrate! The post-ablation A-Fib has vanished. Any arrhythmias I have experienced, were from hyperglycemia. That is under control. I feel so sorry for the people who have experienced any side effects. F 62 8 years

 5  Hypertension Dizziness and fatigue for the first several weeks, but once my body became fully adjusted (about a month as I recall, but it might have taken a bit longer), the side effects finally faded away and have not returned. Now as a long-term user, I am very pleased with the results. I take 100 mg twice per day. My blood pressure has been rock steady at 115 over 70 for over 7 years, despite remaining overweight and not getting as much exercise as I should. Although I have not gained weight, I find it impossible to lose any, even when I exercise frequently and am highly disciplined about calorie counting. This might be due to the Metoprolol.

 2  Svt Pain under right rib, intestinal pain, elevated labs, muscle and joint pain, lack of energy, brain fog, decreased sex drive. I've been to the Dr several times because I've been in pain and have had tons of tests done with no answer as to what was causing my issues. I took myself off metoprolol and to my surprise my symptoms are starting to go away. I have been on this med a while but it's like the formula has changed or something has happened to my body that's caused me to no longer tolerate it. F 44 7 years

 2  anxiety, high bp, irr heart beat dizziness, tiredness, night time hallucinations, very dramatic hair loss, loss of sex drive, blurred vision Ive been taking 25mg twice a day for 4 years, cut my dose in 1/2 and started taking 25 mg right before bed to keep it in my system and bypass all the side effects at night. Thats when the hallucinations and hair loss started. Im only 27 and am losing my hair. Im not on any other meds other than this. It works for my palpitations but the side effects are the worst. Tried to quit taking it and didnt think it would be that hard since I'm on the lowest dosage possible but within 2 hours my heart was irregular and fast again. I can deal with all the other side effects but I'm not going to lose my hair to this drug. Its listed as a serious side effect along with hallucinations and once I googled it I noticed it happens to alot of people but its so gradual that it almost seems to happen overnight. My doctor is changing my meds on friday and it cant happen soon enough. I will never go back to metoprolol. F 27 5 years

 2  Elevated bp at doctor's office I took toprol sporadically for 2-3 years, then regularly. Worked somewhat at first, but bp still elevated in medical settings (and sometimes at home with my own bp machine). Over the year and a half of regular dosing, I slowly became depressed, tired, dull, brain fog, no motivation. I took myself off of toprol two weeks ago (slowly), and I feel fabulous. BP is very good , even low, except when I sit around for a long time before taking it. Gotta keep moving! I can think clearly again and I have gotten back into hobbies and activities I always loved. So happy to be me again. F 71 5 years

 5  high blood pressure and anxiety fatigue, weight remains the same on the drug. I tried another drug for blood pressure and it gave me anxiety. i didnt realize how much metoprolol kept me level headed and how much it helps with my anxiety. the fatigue is hard to deal with although i take utram every two hours low dose for pain, and it helps with the fatigue picks me up a little bit. this combo works quite well for me, i can still feel pain a little bit so i dont hurt my back furthur but the ultram taken with the metoprolol work really well to level my mood and i have been taking the same amount for for four years of both drugs.

Patient History
 3  High Blood Pressure Weezing in lungs, as if I had asthma, which I did not. Out of breath when I tried to exercise, weakness in left arm, Tiredness, Weight gain, Belly Fat, weakness in joints.. Symptoms were lessoned when I took only Half of my 25 mg's a day and it did not make my BP change in any way.. A little goes a long way, as people are overdosed on their medications. And most of the time people do NOT! need as much as they are taking. When I was in my mid thirty's after having 4 children, I began to have a belly and I was gaining weight and my BP was rising slowly. And in my late 40's into my 50's. My BP was up in the mid 200 BP level. So the BP drug Metoporol brought it down to an average level in the 160's to 180's. Then I met a excellent Gyno and he checked my Estrogen and Progesterone levels and found they were both VERY LOW!! What I have NOW! realized, that before, when my BP was rising, that my Progesterone had been depleting. Low Progesterone constitutes high blood pressure.. Same in a MAN! also and low Progesterone, constitutes Low Testosterone, no sex drive, tired etc. and low Progesterone, contributes to Prostate Cancer, becomes Estrogen dominant, very bad!. I have been taking BI-EST NATURAL Estrogen 1.25 mg which is a level perfect for me. I started with 25mg Concentrated Natural Yam Progesterone, only a little change in BP, so tried 50 mg normal BP 117/72, so I tried 75 mg and it dropped my BP so Low, almost to dangerous BP levels in high 90's/high 60's. Danger Zone is 90/60. I figure it is because I am still taking 5 mg's of Metoporol and trying to WEAN myself off this BP drug, so I am going back to the 50 mg's for now, until I am off Metoporol, then I will be able to judge accurately, either 50mg or 75mg, which one will be my perfect set level for ME! but just 5 mg's is causing me a lot of grief, the yolk of my chest stings and burns inside, which causes like a soreness, feel like I am over a F 4 years
