Side effects reduced a lot when my doctor reduce dose to 25 mg | First month had 50mg x 2 a day, it was horrible. Next visit I asked my doctor to reduce dose, the 25mg improved my suffering, lasted 3 moths, this visit I was greedy and asked doctor if I can split it to 12.5mg; I did for a week now but it looks BP goes higher so as HR | M | 49 | 4 months 50 mg 2X day | 12/22/2016 | 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 | hbp & headaches | tired | F | 50 | 30 days | 1/1/2009 | 3 | High blood pressure | Bad dreams and tired all the time. Dr told me I could stop meds all together. Bl pressure has been fine but since I stopped taking very tired is this normal ? | F | 50 | 1 years 50 | 4/2/2014 | 1 | High blood pressure | Massive weight gain, since my new doctor put me on 100mg, twice a day. Hallucinatory nightmares and hallucinations, especially at night. I would wake up yelling that someone was in the room, when nobody was. I would also see someone standing by my bed during the middle of the night, but if i blinked,they were gone. I would "hear" people talking in the hallway at night..I "saw" a woman walk through the closet without opening a door. Of course it wasn't real, just med-induced. I thought I was losing my mind! I would get extremely tired, had no hope for anything anymore. Couldn't concentrate at all. I also had heart palpitations almost all the time. Really bad edema in my ankles and feet. I developed a weird red itchy scaly rash on my shins, and on my left leg in the back too. This started 3 months after taking the pills. It got progressively worse, and I thought i might lose my legs if it keeps spreading..but it is now finally healing since I stopped the medication. | I had the nightly hallucinations for a year or so before I quit taking the recommended dosage the doctor recommended. I also gained 50+ pounds in a year, and I couldn't figure out why for awhile. Until I started researching the medication. I drove my husband crazy with the nightmares, waking him up each time. I started cutting the pills in half, then fourths, weaning myself off of them. Since the doctor refused to switch me, I found a natural alternative (blood pressurex from theherbsplace.com)and am now totally off metoprolol and will never go back. In fact, i will never again take prescribed medications as long as I live. Since I no longer trust doctors in any way, shape or form. For anyone that has ever been told by a doctor that you will have a stroke and die if you quit taking the medicine they prescribe for you, you won't. As long as you ease up on the medicine slowly and find an alternative to help you. Ask any pharmacist how you can wean yourself off of any medication you | F | 50 | 1.6 years | 3/7/2008 | 1 | High blood pressure | Horrible pain, earaches,leg swelling, weight gain, depression, chest pressures d burning. And so much more | I believe I have white coat HTN not HBP. I relented and agreed to take it after doc upset about numbers. Worst mistake of my life. I'm weening of fit now and hoping for no long term damage or issues. This crap is poison. Three ER visits. ER doc even stated this was not good for any HBP issues and advised primary to get me off it Please do your homework. Strong FDA warning on this stuff. I failed to research it. Don't make the same mistake. I've always watched weight eat healthy etc. gained 40 pound I'm hoping to lose after I'm cleaned out of this horrible drug. Should be OFF the market. | F | 50 | 9 months 50 TID | 7/29/2017 | 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 | 3 | Atrial Fibrillation | Nausea and severe heartburn, diarrhea, insomnia, severe dry mouth to the point of developing yellow tongue even though I was using products to try and prevent it. | It did help with my heart problem, but the side effects are horrible.

Blood pressure was swinging high, and has dropped with each cutback; additionally, have lost 14 pounds of edema over the course of the cutback. Felt better immediately after each cut back, and starting to feel like myself. So thankful to be off of this drug - it was like poison to my system. If you're having problems, get a 2nd or 3rd opinion. It's unbelievable the difference! Now taking Benicar/HCT | F | 51 | 3 years | 4/18/2006 | 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 | AFIB with controlled hypertension | No bad side effects. | Actually produces a reassuring feeling due to heart rate steadiness and control.
