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 | 5 | Orthostatic Diastolic HBP & POTS | Nausea 1st 3 days only. 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. Typically my limbs go numb, painful pins/needles & swelling on all other BP meds. This med brought my bottom # from 115 to 86 after 40min while standing! I love this med and glad side effects wore off over time. Im never hungry which gives me more energy. | F | 46 | 14 days 50MG | 6/28/2020 | 5 | Orthostatic Diastolic HBP & POTS | Severe nausea over 1st 3 days. No appetite (a plus for me), occsssional dizziness. | My body hates BP meds, they cause numb hands & feet. Painful pins and needles in limbs and swelling. This med works great. Im glad side effects diminished after few days. 1st time my bp & pulse has stayed the same from sitting to standing. I feel like I'm going to live a long life now. | F | 46 | 14 days 25mg 2x da | 6/28/2020 | 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 | Hypertension | Have been taking Metoprolol for years with no side effects. 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 | Blood pressure and angina | None | F | 43 | 3 years 25mg | 12/6/2016 | 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. | M | 47 | 4 years 50 mg 1X day | 1/3/2016 | 5 | AFIB with controlled hypertension | No bad side effects. | Actually produces a reassuring feeling due to heart rate steadiness and control. My resting heartbeat is around 55-60 bpm. I've been doing minimum 30 (and sometimes 60-180) min cardio daily since my AFIB episode 3 months ago. Feeling great and not anticipating any relapse. Diagnosed with lone AFIB; except for minor atrial regurgitation, heart health is good. | M | 52 | 3 months 25 MG 2X day | 8/30/2015 | 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 | 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 | 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 | MVP | Blurred vision from time to time. Nothing major. | F | 36 | 2 years 12.5 1X day | 3/22/2010 | 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. | M | 52 | 7 years | 9/6/2009 | 5 | Atrial fibrillation | At the very first, I experienced shortness of breath when I walked a short distance, such as to the office from the parking lot, but then the doctor added Digoxin and the two work perfectly together, no shortness of breath or any other side effect that I know of. | I feel pretty lucky about this, even though I don't like the idea of taking powerful prescription medication, as I don't know what else it is doing to me or how it might be hurting me. But without it, my heart rate would be 128, 135 somewhere thereabouts, whereas with Metoprolol, it is kept down to a reasonable 70 or 80. This does not control my arrhythmia (it's not expected to), only keeps the heart rate normal. | M | 61 | 4 months | 2/21/2009 | 5 | hbp & headaches | tired | F | 50 | 30 days | 1/1/2009 | 5 | arythmia | I notice no side effects from this medication | 50 mg daily keeps my heart beating regular. | M | 54 | 12 years | 9/10/2008 | 4 | High blood pressure | When I pee my vagina burns bad and itching lose hair,gags, blurry vision, feeling very tied,there are good days and good feelings | 67 | 10 years When 100mg 1X O | 12/1/2022 | 4 | Afib | stopped a fib, lowered blood pressure, feel tired a lot. only real draw back for me is 45lb weight gain. now i am fat. | M | 56 | 0 years 50mg twice 2X day | 1/4/2021 | 4 | palpitations due to hyperthyroidism | Low level fatigue, feeling of calm. | I was on a low dose to control heart palpitations and it had the added benefit of slightly reducing my borderline high blood pressure. On the whole at a low dose I barely noticed any adverse effects | F | 51 | 9 months 10 1X day | 6/13/2019 | 4 | afib | Brain fog, cold hands & feet,lack of energy | Reduced doze to summer; 25mg am and12.5mg night. Lost brain fog, cold feet, bad dreams winter; 12.5mg am and night. Take extra 12.5mg prior to excerise or physical work and sex. Liv in au, hot summers heart working just to keep cool, much less work for heart in winter. find betaloc best formula for me. | M | 61 | 5 years 50mg 2X day | 5/8/2017 |
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)
