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  AFib & Atrial Tachycardia, High BP Exhaustion, cough/phlegm, sweats & chills, erractic BP, breathless on exertion, confusion, dizzy, weak, shaking, crying daily, anxiety, hopelessness, no motivation, weak legs/arms, dry red itchy eyes, unsteady, feels like dying, all-over nausea, tinnitus, nervousness, agitation, pooing 2x/day, skin hot, heart rate even then uneven Decided to not take this morning's dose because symptoms of Metoprolol so bad, then fast heart rate started. So took 6.5mg, half the dose. Within 5mins heart rate calmed down. So getting off it will be difficult. Diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation 2 weeks ago in Emergency before spontaneous conversion to 70bpm after 16hrs of erratic AFib. Fun and games, NOT! and so scary and discouraging. Many doc visits and no answers for this and other problems raising their ugly heads. Plus dealing with this awful drug because of some cardiologist's "expert" decision 😨 (I'm in Australia) F 67 12 days
12.5mg 2X day

 1  Rapid heartbeat I was very lightheaded, dizzy, nauseous to the point of not being able to eat. Extreme nervousness and anxiety And always on edge. I was given this drug in the hospital without being told. Then after being released had a prescription called into the pharmacy to pick up. I was not educated on what this drug was or what it was prescribed for. After test results came back I had no problems with my heart it all came back negative. They claimed it was an anxiety attack but still prescribed this horrible medication. Now, I’m suffering through terrible withdrawal trying to get this medicine out of my system. F 68 16 days

 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

 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

 4  Svt I'm not sure I have a lot that could be due to the metoporol the doc is saying it's not unheard of to start having side effects years down the road I'm struggling with recent palpitations as well so maybe it's not as effective anymore either I have to say for the last ten years it's krpt me from having hardly any svt attacks where I was having them constantly before I started taking a beta blocker F 31 10 years
