| 1 | High blood pressure | Fatigue, labored breathing, insomnia, cold hands and feet, dizzy, loss appetite, feel weak overall to the point of unable to do anything | I'm 165lb 5'8". Was only on it for 10 days. No problem until 10th day when I literally, suddenly, without warning felt like fainting. Can't walk from bed to kitchen without losing breath. Stopped completely for 4 days now. Side effects still around ~70% of the time. Can't do anything all day. Can't drive. Even if I feel well, there could be risk of sudden fatigue. This has put my life on hold. The side effects are really taking their time resolving. After stop taking, did not observe blood pressure spike nor heart rate spike. I believe I shouldn't have been put on the drug so hastily. Went to cardiologist specialist, he agrees. Can't do anything but just hope side effects subside soon. | M | 33 | 10 days 2XD 25mg | 3/13/2017 | 1 | High blood pressure | nauseous, dizzy/lightheaded (and not just when I stand from sitting), feeling faint, fatigue, weakness, Occasionally wake up trembling, cold hands and feet at night time (when I normally run warm), diarrhea, morning jitters when waking up, occasional constipation, increased acid reflux, chest pain, spikes in heart rate, brain fog, No motivation, difficulty concentrating on my work. | I am 33, male, Latino, a mental health Counselor, eat pretty poorly, and somewhat overweight. have been on Metoprolol Tartrate for 4 months. Initially, I was on 25mg 2x daily. Then Dr moved me to 25mg, one time daily because my heart rate was at already at 60 bpm when it was time to take the 2nd dose. It all started in April 2020. I went to the ER due to fast heart rate and high blood pressure, I thought I was going to have a heart attack or drop dead. In retrospect, it may have been a panic attack or stage 2 or 3 hypertension, but still unsure what caused this. EKG and Blood labs at the Hospital were normal. The hospital sent me home with Metoprolol Tartrate 25 mg 2x per day for blood pressure. The metoprolol was extremely effective in reducing my heart rate after 35 minutes or so. I do also feel relaxed after taking it. It did not reduce blood pressure in the slightest. Later, Lisinopril 10mg (now 20mg) was added and took care of the blood pressure. I have had a stress test, an echocardiogram, and the 4-day heart monitor, all came back negative. When starting the metoprolol 2x daily and about 3 weeks thereafter, I felt dizziness, loss of appetite, variable heart rate, fatigue, brain fog, diarrhea, faintness, and new chest pain. I was moved to 25mg metoprolol tartrate once daily That I take at 6pm (3 months to present). After a while I have consistently felt nauseous, dizzy/lightheaded (and not just when I stand from sitting), feeling faint, fatigue, weakness | M | 33 | 4 months 25 1X day | 8/15/2020 | 1 | Tachycardia | Depression, irritability, nauseated, suicidal, tired, weak, muscle pain and twitching, nightmares, migraine. | It did lower my heart rate and o dealt with the side effects intill I became suicidal. Heart Dr told me to stop cold turkey. Laid down and took 3 hour nap today and so far no crazy thoughts. | F | 33 | 2 weeks 25mg twice | 1/31/2016 | 1 | Hypertension | Dizzy, tired, can't sleep, anxious, depressed, tremors (it feels like), and it doesn't help that I'm on anxiety meds that dont work. 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 | 5 | MVP | Blurred vision from time to time. Nothing major. | F | 36 | 2 years 12.5 1X day | 3/22/2010 | 3 | anxiety | Weight gain!!! Tiredness. Calmness. | Well, it sure helped my anxiety but I packed on the pounds too. Now I'm not sure if I should stop taking it and be thinner and more anxious or stay on it and be fatter, but more calm. | F | 36 | 6 months | 12/19/2007 | 1 | HBP and Dilation of Ascending Aorta | Absolutely terrible, fatigue, extreme exhaustion, lack of sex drive, no motivation, living in a fog...it's all there. Cardiologist said to stop immediately, "no worries". Likely because of 25/mg low dosage and only 2 weeks on the drug, but still an awful experience. | M | 36 | 14 days 25 | 10/31/2019 | 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 | 2 | chronic tachyard, AF, post ValveSur | Raynaud syndromes, sex drive decreased, asthenia, somnolence after physical efforts | switched from bisoprolol to nadolol then to metoprolol. less efficient than nadolol 60 for me : i went from 85-110bpm to 90-125bpm all day long as efficient as bisoprolol. same side effects as the 2 previous BBlockers | M | 37 | 14 days 50 2X day | 9/11/2022 | 3 | High heart rate | It help a lot .. but my thoughts are so scary!! | F | 38 | 2 days 25mg 2X day | 7/13/2020 | 2 | High heart rate | I can't stop going to bath room number 2. Helps my heart rate for 6 to 8 hours an goes back up. | F | 38 | 1 months 50 mg 2 | 9/6/2016 | 2 | Irregular Heartbeat/Panic Attacks | acid reflux, lethargic feeling, mild nausea in the beginning, feeling of being out of breath easily, getting worn out fast with exercise to the point of not being able to exercise, decline in sex drive. | After I got over the "heart attack" feeling and feeling like my heart was fighting against beating the 1st week I started it, that type of side effect went away at 1st. It has slightly came back in about the last 2 months and the drug just in general makes me feel tired and lethargic. I take 25 mg 1x a day and I am going to lessen my dose to half of that pill and try to stop it alltogether soon. I do not want to be on this medication, it has totally zapped my energy and made me feel like im 90 years old. | F | 38 | 1.5 years 25 mg 1X day | 1/5/2013 | 1 | Hypertension | Huge weight gain | F | 38 | 1 years 1X day | 1/21/2020 | 2 | Heart palpitations & BP | Dizziness,absolutely no energy! It did help the heart rate and pvcs. Just wondering when I first started this medicine I was tired but I could tolerate. For the last 6 months or so seems the side affects has really came on. I went to Cardiologist he did ekg and echo cardiogram of heart said all looked fine. Is this common to be on a drug a couple of years before the side affects start getting bad? I was originally on 200MG daily now for last two months only 100MG daily still having terrible side affects. | M | 40 | 3 years 100MG 1X D | 12/19/2016 | 1 | high blood pressure | I have chest pains..... | F | 40 | 2 days 25 | 12/15/2012 | 1 | Migraine prevention | Heaviness in chest, shallow breathing, anxiety, insomnia, trouble focusing, depression, overall feeling of being unwell. | I was told it's rare to experience side effects. What's concerning is for some that do, the side effects come on quickly, increase and then persist even after stopping. The side effects especially the mental ones could be very dangerous. | F | 40 | 10 days 50mg 2X day | 10/6/2020 | 2 | Hypertension | Zombie all day even if you take with food...It may have worked for some folks but not for me..The side effects where endless like being in oz ..Fatigue, Dizziness and so on . If your taking this drug please don't hesitate to tell your Dr if you have bad reactions or just can't tolerate it..Everyone be safe | I took it twice a day and it made me tired all day felt weak I was not motivated to do anything this was a bad drug for me and the dizziness oh my lord what a ride..peace y'all | M | 41 | 17 days 25 mg x 2z | 7/25/2017 | 1 | CHF | *Insomnia *Extreme hair loss *Rapid weight gain *Fatigue *Tingling in hands and feet *Edema *Numb hands and feet at times *Cold hands and feet *Runny nose *Odd dreams *Irritable *Neck, Back, and Hip pain as well as leg pain etc. | I do think that Metoprolol does help with rapid heart beat and keeping it on pace, which is important no doubt about it, but you feel half dead 90% of the time from all the dang side effects. So it's like it helps with one main thing but you're going to get a ton of other things in the process tbat make you feel terrible. I would not recommend metoprolol to any one who has not started it already. Try something else. At least that's my recommendation. | F | 42 | 1 years 50 mg | 12/7/2019 | 1 | long qt syndrome | extreme fatigue, constipation, loss of interest in activities, absolute intolerance to exercise, muscle weakness and burning with activity, hallucinatory nightmares, living in a fog, worsening of depression. 15# weight gain in six months. | Has ruined my life and have no hope of getting off of it because of long qt syndrome. Used to be very athletic and mountain biking and trail running were my life. Essentially a cripple on the bike, muscules burn all over, feel heavy and weak, Heart rate tops out at 100. I can't imagine living like this. However, I have had no episodes of cardiac arrhythmia since on it so it is doing it's job | F | 42 | 10 days | 4/21/2004 | 1 | Irregular heartbeat | Anxiety is worse than it ever was, sweats, insomnia, low blood pressure, weight gain, anger, can't focus, blurred vision, scared to drive, lightheaded, dizzy, exhausted, no energy, depression, lack of motivation, blurred vision, memory loss, feel like I'm going to pass out, headaches, back, neck, shoulder, leg pain.. worst drug ever I'm Over it... I have a follow up apt with my cardiologist Monday and I will not be taking this evil drug anymore. | Awful!!!!!!!! Made things worse than they were | F | 42 | 2 weeks 6.25 mg 1X day | 3/4/2021 |
