My palpitations are a little better..not sure it's from pill. | I want to go off this crazy med. I am sick on top of being sick so to speak.

My legs been moving uncontrollably for 1 week and doc just upped my dose from 12.5 to 25 that MADE IT WORSE | This is not for ppl like me who've never had medical issues except tension headaches. I feel scared every day. I can barely eat because of worry. Even though most of this is in our head this medication is increasing the anxiety which is not good on the body when it's in need of healing. Eyes are so dry and headaches won't leave. Its interrupting my home life and work life. It lower heart BPM which was over 112 and blood pressure went down but EXERCISE can fix that. | M | 33 | 2 weeks 25MG 2X day | 5/28/2021 |
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)
