User Reviews for metoprolol tartrate oral

Have been on the drug for several years. However, recently I have been getting dizzy after taking pill. I do better when I take it later in the day rather than early AM. My BP is not as stable as it was even thougb I am at a good weight and doing at least an hour of exercise daily. My has recently increased the doseage and that may account for the dizzyness.

I HAVE LEARNED THAT I HAVE A SMALL HEART MURMUR AND HAVE BEEN HAVING HEART "FLUTTERS" FOR ABOUT 5 YRS. I WOULD HAVE AN IRREGULAR HEART BEAT ALOT DURING THE DAY OFEN AS MUCH AS 10. I WAS PRESCRIBED THIS MED AND IT HAS WORKED SO WELL! I DONT EVEN HAVE ANY HEART PALPITATIONS ANYMORE. I FEEL WONDERFUL NOW! ALTHOUGH I AM WANTING TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY SOON I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE SAFE TO TAKE THIS MEDICATION FROM WHAT RESEARCH I HAVE READ. I AM GOING TO SPEAK WITH MY DOCTOR ABOUT THIS VERY SOON.

I have had high BP since I was 18, I have a MurMur which takes on a life of its own on occassion, I've been a slue of different meds & out of all the side effects -I'll gladly take wierd dreams & work out at the gym like a mad woman because I know its for the better good. Its beats the last drug I was on which caused a dry cough all day long, really screwed up speechs and movie night.

In my early days of HBP, this drug saved me. It was the only one I could tolerate and it took over a month to get used to. However, once I got used to it and the side effects went away, I felt like a new person! It was amazing. Unfortunately, after many years of not monitoring my HBP, I suffered a mini stroke. But it was my own fault not the medication. Now I'm taking Lisinopril which is fine and I monitor.

The drug keeps my heart rate low and steady. Sometimes makes me drowsy and lethargic. I am hoping the drug will allow my heart to heal so I may return to work.

31 male just diagnosed with high blood pressure by doctor don't understand why, pressure is 130 over something, "prehypertension" not high blood pressure but i need to take meds? Pressure several years ago 140 over something, before reading comments, took one pill tonight and my last.....don't want the side effects like everyone else.....sticking to my plan not the corporate doctor structure of killing myself with side effects....want to know how i dropped 10 points on blood pressure without drugs....I cycle and mountain bike....3 to 4 times a week...good for my heart and no side effects....have eaten bad for last years and exercise still helped me lower pressure, exercise...exercise.....now my next step.....eat well.....I am ready God!Read More Read Less

I am disturbed by the negative comments related to this drug. I had an episode of atrial fibrilation coming out of surgery. This condition was accompanied by a long history of hypertension. This drug worked quickly to control both the high blood pressure as well as the fibrilation. I have been taking it in the 25mg dose for three weeks with none of the side effects related here. This drug has worked very well for me. In fact, I forgot to take my AM meds yesterday and my heart rate went over >109 bpm, after taking my meds my heart rate went down to <70 bpm.Read More Read Less

I'm surprised by the people this drug hasn't worked for. I have not experienced any ill side effects and my blood pressure is very controlled. I do not have the frequent urination accept for the first 2-3 days I was on the medication. I've been in out now for about 6 months and I'm feeling better than I have in a very long time.

i feel tired and dont like taking this medication. ive been on it for two weeks and i feel tired all the time. i have had some wierd dreams since i have started taking this medication but no nightmares. i was given a 30 day supply and am conserned that i will be on high blood preasure medication the rest of my life.

i had a 5 way by pass but i never had any pain my problem was short of breath when iroad my bike for long distances. before i had my by pass my dr. first looked at stets which he said couldn't work. this med was perscribed and i don't know why. i have been taking it for a little over a year and i wouldn't know what it is supposed to do until i read this. i haven't been short of breath since i had mh operation

In the last two years my bp has gone from controlled to wildly out of control. The VA has me on 100MG of Metoprolol Tartrate for more then 2 years. None of this has helped. I keep getting worse.

I am 37 years old and experienced a heart attack last year. I have been on this med since Feb. 5, 2007. Within this time I have experienced fatigue, depression, nightmares, gas, my legs and ankles swell all the time and I have gained about 50 pounds. I am going to make an appt. with my doc and have him take me off this drug. Especially after reading the other reviews and see that others are experiencing similiar side effects.

Have been on metoprolol a little over 2 weeks. Experiencing: bloating/gas, headaches, trouble breathing, fatique, frequent urination, and weight gain. It definately does not help if you have IBS.

Has not completely controlled bp; LOSING HAIR; GAINED 16 lbs; tired; short of breath, anxiety.

Makes me tired and feel bloated all the time

SWOLLEN LEGS, CRAMPS, DISTURBED SLEEP AND BAD DREAMS THAT CAUSE ABNORMAL HEART RHYTHM, ANXIETY,

I have gained alot of weight and feel short of breath
