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)

 1  high blood pressure / heart failure Irritability and anger. My mother who is in her 90's took this until recently. She was irritable and angry with her aids, especially in the morning. We noticed that when she forgot to take her medication, she was calm and content. Since dropping this medication completely, with doctor's approval, she has been much happier and calmer. This was a terrible medication for her. F 96 1 years

 1  AFIB I have been really fatiged, breathless doing everyday household chores, angina, jitters, can't sleep, emotional, stressed, etc. I went to the hospital for afib 3 weeks ago and they gave me this terrible drug to regulate my heart. I feel really bad. I need another medicine but my cardiologist refused and said I pretty much had to deal with it. I had a breakdown in his office and they escorted me out yesterday. I need to wing myself off but don't know how. I'm going to make an appointment for an electrophysiologist tomorrow. I welcome any help at all for what to do. DON'T take this drug! F 54 3 weeks

 1  High Blood Pressure I had never taken blood pressure medication before. After my first day of taking this medicine, I was trying to go through old mail and cleaning up my room. I was so fatigued and my shoulders were burning. I had to stop and sit down. With this being my first time on BP medication I figured it was something I had to get use to. In the next 3 to 4 days the fatigue and burning shoulders were still around along with a tightness in my breathing. Was not gasping for air but felt a tightness in my chest. I still was able to exercise and do my 4 to 5 miles walks a day without issue. About the 7th day I noticed that my lower legs were swelling up with fluid. I called my doctor and we stopped the medication Prior to taking the medication I had no issues and felt great. In has been 5 days since I stopped the medication and I still have periods of Feeling tightness in my chest. My shoulders have stopped burning and the fluid in my legs are gone. I had vivid dreams every night. For me all my dreams were about sex. Which as a man I enjoyed LOL but it caused my man part not to function so that was torture. My blood pressure when I started was 180/110. The medication did lower my heart rate from 94 to 70bpm. My blood pressure did lower into 140/93. I started on this medication Jan 7 2020 and my weight was 280lbs. I stopped taking the meds Jan 17, 2020. As of today Jan 25,2020 I am 265lbs and my blood pressure daily average is 117/78 with 81bpm resting head rate In 10mg of lisinopril a day. The more I lose weight the more my blood pressure and heart rate drops. It looks like I will becoming off BP medication real soon. I exercise everyday and eat mostly the DASH diet F 43 10 days

 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

 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

 1  AFib Dizzy, tingling in face, frequent Urination, pain in my kidneys, tight chest, shortness of breath, feeling of being slow, short term memory issues, super low BP and pulse, elevated sugar, and neck stiffness... Dr put me on this wicked drug for an occasional AFib and BP. I don’t have high blood pressure. I have White Coat syndrome. I told him my blood pressure is actually low. He said that that WC doesn’t exist. (Lol). I ended up in the ER. They thought I was having a stroke. Tingling of the face, trouble speaking, issues with memory, pain in my chest. Labs came back with elevated sugar (I don’t have diabetes). I’m now a week off of metropolol. Other than a stiff neck, I feel ok. F 56 8 days

 1  Svt At first I got light headed, dizzy and nausea after taking pill after about a week those side effects disappeared had no side effects for about a week after now I'm having chest pains, palpations, nightmares, anxiety, acid reflux, crying all the time depressed feeling just wanna stay in bed went to er told them it started after starting the meds they wont listen to me and said the medication doesnt cause these side effects... I know it's the medicine because i never had any of these issues till after the medication. I feel i have no quality of life at all. Do your research before taking..
