User Reviews for metoprolol tartrate oral

I take 25 mg/day sometimes one more at night if I have to. It lowers my blood pressure but lowers my heart rate too below 60 and I experience chest pain.

I had a heart attack in 200 and was put on 25mg. I take half in the morning and half in the evening. My BP still high at times, the only thing I have had trouble with is that it has completely killed my sex life. Have gained about 50 pounds since 2010. Horrible experience with it.

was taking 50mg metaphol tartate for 3 days then reduced to 25 on my own call. Bad side affect on 50mg. Arms n hands went numb and dizziness couldn't sleep at all at night so cut the pill in half and got good result. Take it at 5pm every evening too just in case I get too dizzy to drive car but I have not gotten bad side affects and my bp has been good. Then I was put on 25mg ace inhibitors also! Hope my kidneys hold up...getting bloodwork soon to see. No bad side affects on both yet except a little dizziness which went away in a few days...we shall see what happens as I have only been on this for 2weeks.Read More Read Less

Metoprolol is effective for my blood pressure and PVC’s and AFIB. However, I experience awful side effects from this drug being it is a beta blocker. Though this drug is effective it causes me to suffer from heartburn, burning diarrhea half of the time or more so. I had intermittent bizarre scary dreams (nightmares) on some occasions from metoprolol. In addition, this drug definitely brings on insomnia. What I find most intolerable are the heartburn, indigestion, and inflammatory diarrhea brought on from metoprolol. The drug is truly wrecking my entire GI system. Read More Read Less

Caused so many problems. ED, dizziness, tired, could not function (zombified). Had to get cardiologist to prescribe something different. Worst drug I have ever been on. BTW - My high bp did not change from day to day end of being on this drug. Just my experience - make your own decision.

I was put on Metoprolol not quite 2 years ago, after a heart attack and high bp diagnosis. I hate it, but cannot get my doctor to change it. The longer I take it, the worse I feel. I get short of breath and leg fatigue with just minimal walking. I have a dry cough, have wheezing, and started getting leg edema too. Additionally, I have gained about 40 lbs. I am afraid to stop the medicine on my own, but I had NONE of these symptoms before. My heart attack was caught early, and my EKG does not show it even. I was on Lisinopril too, but had to stop that on my own because I developed an ACE cough that was nearly debilitating due to frequency and intensity. I take 25mg of Metoprolol twice a day. My bp is controlled, but my pulse stays low, between 48-56. Sometimes I feel like my heart slows down and feel like I am going to pass out. I don't get chest pain. My shortness of breath is not all the time, and it's not to where I pant or gasp. It's like I just can't get a good deep full breath. I believe I felt about 100% better before taking this medication.

i am cold all the timeeojjgr

Low dose made me tired, depressed and blood pressure was inconsistent - very low in the evenings and higher in the mornings. Don't think I can stay on this medication.

took awhile getting used to taking something long term...didnt feel like myself for a week... occasional diareha made me sleep, and not just at night, slept my day off away slowed me down sexually too, would take 2-3 times longer to climax, i guess since the drug dialates relaxes ALL BLOOD VESSELS, THAT MEANS THE PENIS TOO. My doc promised me me to switch me later next month, or I'll switch doctors(closer to home)

Dr suggested starting with 1/2 25mg tablet in evening then go to full 25mg after 1 week if BP>135/85. Numbers at or near 135/85

I had been on Propranolol (Inderal) many years with no problem. New cardiologist insisted on metoprolol tartrate. Took 25mg at 10am and felt nauseous. About 5pm went to grocery store and vision was on/off then I blacked out. When I recovered went home, pulse was 45. 24 hours later still feel sick and don't think I can drive.

Dr. has me taking 25mg twice a day. This is the most consistent my BP has been in years. The newer drug I had been on had my BP sometimes lower and other times not.

I taking metoprolol t for 2 weeks and I filling short of breath and chest pain

I was suffering from hypertension, at least 2 to 3 migraines/week, and palpitations. I started taking this med. in February. I felt noticeably better within the first 30 days. Had a routine check up in June and my bp had lowered from 132/84 to 117/76! Palpitations had vanished and for the migraines, what migraines? Very effective medicine!

I have been on and off of this medication for 5 years. I do not like it because it doesn't help. I also don't like how it makes me feel.

My doctor (no longer) prescribed this for AFIB. New doctor stopped it and started Atenolol with Flecainide. A world of difference! After only 4 days I feel like I have my life back. No more fatigue, muscle ache, interrupted sleep, wheezing, stiffness, etc., etc. I hadn't realized how much the Metoprolol was effecting me.

I have been on the drug 25mg twice a day. Always tired and my hair is thinning a lot!!! I am going to ask my DR. To change this medicine. Not lowering my blood pressure either!

My blood pressure was 150/90so I was put on metoprolol 25mg and this drug is great lowers my pressure to 120/78 . The only side effect I notice a feeling of dizziness if I try to get up fast after lying down, which goes away in one minute

I take 25mg 3 times a day..very good medication..i feel much better now. Yes as others..i dream alot and sometimes quite vivid to!! Lowers my blood pressue and a calming effect also...no more anxiety and sleeping better!!
