| 4 | Palpitations/High Blood Pressure | Initially, I was on 50 MG twice a day - no side effects. After 5 months Dr. increased in to 100 MG a day. Had some dizziness that went away after 2 weeks or so. Odd but interesting dreams. | It works like magic in controlling palpatations. Haven't had any since the dosage increase. Overall I have been very impressed the medication. | M | 47 | 100 MG 2X day | 4/19/2012 | 2 | Post angioplasty. | Gradual swelling of prostate to the point of nearly no urination at all. Did not notice much blood pressure decrease. | I have tried this medication twice. During a routine physical at my doctor, he noticed I had a swollen prostate. I had been on metoprolol for about 30 days. Shortly after that visit, I was experiencing more frequent, but less urination until I was not urinating anymore. Very scary. The first thing I thought of was the medication. I stopped immediately and within 24 hours, I was urinating again. I told my doctor and he got me back in and my prostate was normal. I tried taking the medicine again months later and again it slowly enlarged my prostate to the point of no urination. After researching the drug, I found this side effect happened to 1% of people that took it out of 40,000. | M | 62 | 12.5 mg 2X day | 11/25/2015 | 1 | Hypertation | My heart rate went into the 40's my blood pressure went up i felt like i couldn't breathe.

I've taken 3 doses. The first time, I though it was due to taking it without food. The second time, I took it after eating a sandwich, and had the same issues. The symptoms occurred within 60 minutes of taking it and lasted about an hour. The third time I took it in the middle of my meal. It took 5 hours before the nausea set in. Two hours later the chills, sweats, severe stomach pains & vomiting set in. It lasted for an hour. The pain was excruciating! I will not take it again. Also, I became extremely winded when walking or trying to do anything at all.

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)
