| 2 | High Blood Pressure | Side effects creep up slowly. Felt very tired each day and had to nap to get through the day. Stomach ache and gas, muscles and joints ache, shortness of breath, vivid dreams and waking up a few times a night, gaining weight that I can't lose, lost my sex drive totally, blurred vision, depression and bad moods, just no energy. I was a happy dad of two and now I'm a moody, grouchy, miserable man. | I felt great when I first started taking this. Side effects crept up on me slowly. This medication will change the way you feel about life. I feel like I'm in a fish bowl looking out. I would do anything to just be my old self. Make sure you understand that you CANNOT stop this poison cold turkey, you have to wean off of it slowly. If you plan on having sex with your partner, don't use this stuff, it takes all your sex drive away. Just too many side effects...... Don't do it!!!! | M | 53 | 6 months 50 MG 2X day | 6/5/2016 | 1 | Mainly for hr | Gastric pain and asid reflects since I already suffer from gasstoridos proplem that's controlled with 40 mg nexium know with metoprolol nexium is not doing the job | Neck and shoulders pain and fatigue 24 hr a day | M | 58 | 8 weeks 12.5 | 4/17/2016 | 4 | Inappropriate sinus tachycardia | Fatigue, depression is worse, no energy or motivation, wanting to sleep all the time | I was put on metoprolol to control my heart rate. I used to have episodes of tachycardia almost every day and some of these episodes would be quite severe. I would be sitting in class or at work and my heart rate would often stay in the 130s or 140s for hours at a time. Once it got in the 170s for an hour and a half, and all I was doing was sitting in class. It literally felt like I was having a heart attack. My depression and chronic fatigue have been worse since taking this drug, but it is controlling my heartrate very well; my resting heartrate went from 100 to 70, on average, and I don't have anymore episodes of tachycardia unless I miss a dose. I've been dealing with depression and chronic fatigue for years, so I don't know if it's the drug making it worse or if I'm just going through a rough spot right now. | F | 20 | 3 weeks | 3/30/2016 | 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 | 5 | high blood pressure and anxiety | fatigue, weight remains the same on the drug. I tried another drug for blood pressure and it gave me anxiety. i didnt realize how much metoprolol kept me level headed and how much it helps with my anxiety. the fatigue is hard to deal with although i take utram every two hours low dose for pain, and it helps with the fatigue picks me up a little bit. this combo works quite well for me, i can still feel pain a little bit so i dont hurt my back furthur but the ultram taken with the metoprolol work really well to level my mood and i have been taking the same amount for for four years of both drugs. | M | 47 | 4 years 50 mg 1X day | 1/3/2016 | 2 | Post angioplasty. | Gradual swelling of prostate to the point of nearly no urination at all. Did not notice much blood pressure decrease. | I have tried this medication twice. During a routine physical at my doctor, he noticed I had a swollen prostate. I had been on metoprolol for about 30 days. Shortly after that visit, I was experiencing more frequent, but less urination until I was not urinating anymore. Very scary. The first thing I thought of was the medication. I stopped immediately and within 24 hours, I was urinating again. I told my doctor and he got me back in and my prostate was normal. I tried taking the medicine again months later and again it slowly enlarged my prostate to the point of no urination. After researching the drug, I found this side effect happened to 1% of people that took it out of 40,000. | M | 62 | 12.5 mg 2X day | 11/25/2015 | 5 | AFIB with controlled hypertension | No bad side effects. | Actually produces a reassuring feeling due to heart rate steadiness and control. My resting heartbeat is around 55-60 bpm. I've been doing minimum 30 (and sometimes 60-180) min cardio daily since my AFIB episode 3 months ago. Feeling great and not anticipating any relapse.

Two hours later the chills, sweats, severe stomach pains & vomiting set in. It lasted for an hour. The pain was excruciating! I will not take it again. Also, I became extremely winded when walking or trying to do anything at all.
