| 5 | Tachycardia | No side effects. Lowered my rest heartbeat fro 120 to mid 70s. Also was able to get off lisinopril. | F | 58 | 1 years 100 xL | 6/29/2014 | 1 | Angina | BAD DRUG!!!! | F | 57 | 2 days 50 MG | 5/25/2014 | 3 | Had a tachycardia | Taking Metoprolol i had many side effects. My hands and feets would get cold just feelin tired throughout the day. And my Bp would drop and having me feelin extermely out of it, the worst part i hate i would start feelin dizzy and weak. | M | 25 | 6 months 0.5 | 5/22/2014 | 3 | High Blood Pressure | Weezing in lungs, as if I had asthma, which I did not. Out of breath when I tried to exercise, weakness in left arm, Tiredness, Weight gain, Belly Fat, weakness in joints.. Symptoms were lessoned when I took only Half of my 25 mg's a day and it did not make my BP change in any way.. A little goes a long way, as people are overdosed on their medications. And most of the time people do NOT! need as much as they are taking. | When I was in my mid thirty's after having 4 children, I began to have a belly and I was gaining weight and my BP was rising slowly. And in my late 40's into my 50's. My BP was up in the mid 200 BP level. So the BP drug Metoporol brought it down to an average level in the 160's to 180's. Then I met a excellent Gyno and he checked my Estrogen and Progesterone levels and found they were both VERY LOW!! What I have NOW! realized, that before, when my BP was rising, that my Progesterone had been depleting. Low Progesterone constitutes high blood pressure.. Same in a MAN! also and low Progesterone, constitutes Low Testosterone, no sex drive, tired etc. and low Progesterone, contributes to Prostate Cancer, becomes Estrogen dominant, very bad!. I have been taking BI-EST NATURAL Estrogen 1.25 mg which is a level perfect for me. I started with 25mg Concentrated Natural Yam Progesterone, only a little change in BP, so tried 50 mg normal BP 117/72, so I tried 75 mg and it dropped my BP so Low, almost to dangerous BP levels in high 90's/high 60's. Danger Zone is 90/60. I figure it is because I am still taking 5 mg's of Metoporol and trying to WEAN myself off this BP drug, so I am going back to the 50 mg's for now, until I am off Metoporol, then I will be able to judge accurately, either 50mg or 75mg, which one will be my perfect set level for ME! but just 5 mg's is causing me a lot of grief, the yolk of my chest stings and burns inside, which causes like a soreness, feel like I am over a | F | 4 years 25 MG 1X day | 5/22/2014 | 4 | Irregular Heartbeat and High BP | Controlled atrial flutter, lowered blood pressure, lowered libido, lowered tolerance to exercise, some brain fog. No adverse physical effects. | This drug worked well for me with minimal side effects. It became a part of my life. Mental gymnastics worked well for brain fog. | M | 63 | 4 years 50 MG 2X day | 5/5/2014 Patient History | 3 | Heart attack | It was ok in the start but getting very tired, Hands and feet are getting very cold at times, I am cutting the doze to half pill to see what happens and if side effects are reduced. | M | 52 | 90 days 25 mg 2X day | 4/5/2014 | 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 | Terrible vivid night mares w/fast pulse rate. Dr told me to stop taking it cold turkey. My pulse rate spiked to 130 bp was't bad. Had 3 EKG' a that was normal. He put me on Diltiazem ,bp is normal, resting pulse rate is 82-90 and have anxiety attacks and trembles and random bouts of fast pulse rates. My pulse rate use to be 66-72 and I was athletic grandma. Now with rate higher I can really tell the difference. I'm going to get a echocardiogram in a couple of weeks. These BP medicines reck havoc on you but you don't find out untill you try to get off of them. God Bless you ! | F | 68 | 8 months 50 mg | 3/28/2014 | 1 | Accute heart failure | Hallucinations in dark: movement/animation of inert objects, as if come to life. Weight gain/edema. Vertigo upon waking, falling over while standing still, worse if I gaze up or down. Heartburn, first few weeks. Gastric chaos. Slow healing, compounds danger from dizziness. Shortness of breath. Panic. Depression: crippling despair. Inability to manage projects; task memory obliterated. Impossible to lead any normal life on this drug, immed risk of homelessness as impending move and complicated medical & disability status & benefits not aided by this Rx, and reliance of dismissive mds on its efficacy prior to prognosis. | F | 43 | 2 months 25mg | 3/11/2014 | 1 | high blood pressure | Started it again because of high blood pressure. Forgot all about bad side effects until they started again. BAD dreams, VERY tired. It did lower my bp 10 points but then at about 7 days started affecting me mentally, caused a kind of nervousness. would easily be in bed 12 hours.also weight gain. Because of general and bad feeling of unease as well as bad nightmares, weight gain, terrible lethargy I decide to stop. 3 days ago. Today bad dizzy spell, thought i was having heart attack. Very tired these past few days and today one of my fingers went numb for about 5 hours. I remembered this happened last time i was on this nightmare drug. I really was thinking I might die and then this evening I remembered some of what I'd read and low and behold all these terrible symptoms are attributed to metoprolol. I read (too late) not to stop cold turkey which is what I did 3 days ago. I was on the 25 dose but don't think I should take any more since its been 3 days. Just horrible. | I would advise to avoid this horrible drug. It has so many terrible symptoms that I am amazed it is legal. They make such a big deal about people taking pain meds and the like, but the really bad drugs like this one, no one every says, reports, or bans. It affects your mind and dreams badly (and therefore your Spirit). I suffer from chronic pain but am now determined to deal with a great deal more agony in order to exercise to try and get healthier and will add olive oil and apple cider vinegar. I feel terrible tonight and now I think I know why, because I stopped the metoprolol. Hope I can survive it this time. god bless. | M | 55 | 9 days 25mg 1X day | 2/15/2014 | 1 | Blurred vision.

My doctor told me to stop taking it. | F | 52 | 3 years 100mg 1X day | 2/1/2014 | 3 | heart attack, unstable angina | tird, jaundice, depression, low heart rate, low BP, | ALWAYS talk with Dr before taking tablets and make sure you are fully informed of any side effects. Once on them most Drs won't take you off them. | F | 65 | 2 years 25 2X day | 1/27/2014 | 1 | palpitations | I have weight gain and cannot lose no matter how hard i work. Sleepless. Vertigo. My cholesterol went way up and i have never had a problem with it before taking it. Sex drive is nothing. I have about 75 % hair loss. Absolutely no energy. I used to work out for hours. Now i can't hardly do any wthout being totally out of breath. I think it is a horrible drug! I wish i had done some research before taking it. My dr doesn't want to change it. I'm going to get a second opinion! | F | 2 years 50mg | 1/24/2014 | 4 | hypertension | 1st 3-4 months: lethargy, no zest for life, life sucked Currently: Still having very vivid dreams (can be good or bad) | Was 180/100, now 130/85. We tried all the newer drugs and nothing would consistently work. Good ole beta blocker (and lots of it) does the trick for me. Good if you can get past the first few months. Dreams can be alarming they are so real. | M | 65 | 365 days 200 mb 2X day | 7/22/2013 | 1 | high heart rate | Tired,no erection,shortness of breath,could not walk,weight gain.erraticb/p.no alcohol consumption.

This medication is evil and seriously messed me up. | M | 46 | 8 days 50 MG | 6/8/2013 | 1 | I was taking this meddication for 5 months. After about 4 months I started to get some side effects. Insomnia mostly then all at once I was having Anxiety attacks starting at my feet and going as in a circle through my legs and then through my chest and then out my head. I could not walk 10 feet before having trouble breathing. Could not sleep .got about 2 hours a night. Weezing which also kept me from sleeping. My wife said I was walking around in a fog and at times she could not understand what I was talking about. I couldn't take it anymore . It was a Sunday so I left a message for my GP and my Cardiologist. I saw my GP that morning and told her that I stopped taking the medication. 24 hours after I stopped the drug I was fine. I can sleep 8 to 10 hours per night. Most times not getting up at all to go to the bathroom. The shortness of breath STOPPED. I can walk miles and not be out of breath. I have no strange feelings at all. My pressure is 130/75 most of the time.

It has slightly came back in about the last 2 months and the drug just in general makes me feel tired and lethargic. I take 25 mg 1x a day and I am going to lessen my dose to half of that pill and try to stop it alltogether soon. I do not want to be on this medication, it has totally zapped my energy and made me feel like im 90 years old. | F | 38 | 1.5 years 25 mg 1X day | 1/5/2013 |
