Dizziness 1st 3 days only. Loss of appetite(a plus for me) | 1st med to give me minimal side effects as my body hates BP meds.

Im glad side effects diminished after few days. 1st time my bp & pulse has stayed the same from sitting to standing.

Changed to a hospital pharmacy now I am dizz & groggy after I take it. Falling asleep unable to function until 4 PM or later after having crazy vivid dreams and tremors/jerks during that sleep. I know tha the hospital pharmacy uses a different generic drug company- which is more potent. As a retired nurse I do realize that not all generics are equal in potency. Drug companies cut drugs down just like street drugs and we consumers are left to suffer the consrquences. | F | 50 | 3 years | 6/16/2017 | 5 | Hypertension | Short term memory is diminished, but my blood pressure is good , my heart rate is normal and panic attacks gone. | F | 67 | 20 years 200mg | 8/15/2017 | 5 | MVP | Blurred vision from time to time. Nothing major. | F | 36 | 2 years 12.5 1X day | 3/22/2010 | 5 | hbp & headaches | tired | F | 50 | 30 days | 1/1/2009 | 5 | Tachycardia | No side effects. Lowered my rest heartbeat fro 120 to mid 70s. Also was able to get off lisinopril. | F | 58 | 1 years 100 xL | 6/29/2014 | 5 | Rapid HR, Arrythmias,A-Fib | No problems noted, actually take 100mg in morning, and 50mg at night. Started on 50mg dly for years then began having break through palpatations. It was then increased and I have had no difficulties at all. | F | 56 | 10 years 50mg 3X day | 8/29/2014 | 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 125 mg 2X day | 1/8/2015 | 5 | Fast heart rate/High Blood Pressure | Overall it's been a pretty good experience it helps me to be a lot calmer. Lowers my blood pressure and heart rate. I just have really wild dreams. | F | 37 | 6 weeks 50 2X day | 9/13/2021 | 4 | SVT | VERY sleepy, woke up to heart pounding a couple times. Has controleld my heart rate that was resting 130bpm and high BP to normal numbers (80bpm and 120/80) | F | 22 | 14 days 50MG 2X day | 3/4/2015 | 4 | Supraventricular Tachycardia | Nightmares, Insomnia and depleted sex drive. Ringing in ears. I have also experienced low blood pressure | It has lowered my heart rate to an average of 65 BPM (from 160) which is great and I don't feel like I am going to keel over from the SVT but the low blood pressure, lack of sex drive and nightmares are not nice experiences. | F | 32 | 2 months 75 mg | 3/25/2015 | 4 | Inappropriate sinus tachycardia | Fatigue, depression is worse, no energy or motivation, wanting to sleep all the time | I was put on metoprolol to control my heart rate. I used to have episodes of tachycardia almost every day and some of these episodes would be quite severe. I would be sitting in class or at work and my heart rate would often stay in the 130s or 140s for hours at a time. Once it got in the 170s for an hour and a half, and all I was doing was sitting in class. It literally felt like I was having a heart attack. My depression and chronic fatigue have been worse since taking this drug, but it is controlling my heartrate very well; my resting heartrate went from 100 to 70, on average, and I don't have anymore episodes of tachycardia unless I miss a dose. I've been dealing with depression and chronic fatigue for years, so I don't know if it's the drug making it worse or if I'm just going through a rough spot right now. | F | 20 | 3 weeks | 3/30/2016 | 4 | Blood pressure taken since heartatt | 18 years I've taken meds. I have taken others but I believe now I do feel like a nerve jerks in left temple i have cornary arties desease am 47.

On the whole at a low dose I barely noticed any adverse effects | F | 51 | 9 months 10 1X day | 6/13/2019 | 4 | High blood presdure | Within an hour of taking it, I start to get fatigued and many times doze off. This is even in the morning after I just get up! I don't dare take it and then drive! It's about the 6th hbp med I tried, so have to stick with it. | F | 57 | 3 years 50th x 2 | 4/7/2017 | 4 | Tachycardia | started having Tach more frequently, exactly the times I take the medicine rather than 3 or 4 times a weak. | Keep watch on BP if taking meds for that as well. | F | 54 | 7 years 50 mg 2pd | 4/14/2017 |
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)
