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)

 3  Inappropriate sinus tachycardia Vivid dreams/ hallucinations, decreased sex drive, weight gain (10lbs approx.), fatigue Overall the drug worked well to lower my heart rate. When I began taking it my heart rate was around 160 at rest. When on the drug it dropped to 80. However, I hate having a non existent sex drive and being 10 pounds heavier than I was. My husband also hated me screaming about spiders in the middle of the night as a result of the hallucinations. I am now being weaned off the drug and am taking 12.5 mg before I stop completely. At the moment, there is no plan to continue treatment for sinus tachycardia; and if it returns, i may need to begin taking the medication again. F 26 11 months

 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

 1  High Bp and fast pulse when up Horrible dreams so short of breath all the time pains in my body I've never felt before it helped my anxiety low pulse third day taking it I'm in tachycardia. I took it once before November 2019 and I asked the doctor to try it again because my blood pressure gets so high when I'm up from pots and my sleep apnea and my pulse just goes crazy but when I'm resting it's 70 and it took it down to 60 and by the third day I am at 107 laying in bed resting. Horrible side effects in November 2019 I had way more I'm just starting to get more as the day goes on. Chest pains dry eyes higher blood sugar worse sleep apnea. Feels like mucus in my throat have to clear it all day long. Cold hands and feet. This med should be banned F 43 3 days

 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
