User Reviews for metoprolol succinate oral

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT SOMETIMES THINGS WE EAT CAUSE DIARRHIA. BE AWARE OF WHAT YOUR EATING. I DID FEEL COLD SUDDENLY ONE NIGHT IN MY ARMS. NEVER HAD THAT BEFORE, BUT IT COULD BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT I ATE.

My Dr. switched me from Atenolol to Metoprolol Succinate right after an angioplasty and 2 new stints. My blood pressure and heart rate both started going up after about a week. after 1 month my blood pressure was in the 150's and my resting heart rate was as high as 110 bpm. During this same time I developed SSS and AFIB and then had a heart attack. After another month I asked my Dr. to put me back on Atenolol and now, 2 months later, I now have a normal sinus heart rythum, no more AFIB, Pulse is 60 to 80 BPM and my blood pressure is in the 120's to low 130's. I am having Metoprolol added to my medical record as an allergic drug for me. Read More Read Less

Went on this after a few days in Hospital. I thought it would help. After a few days i realized i had a contant headache. I started to feel very dizzy. Did not sleep well and seemed to increase urination. Could not focus and felt "dopey". After two week was looking up at a light pole and had to grab the pole as I felt dizzy. It was about two weeks and I could not stand the affects anymore. Doc said for now take if needed. I am having a procedure in a week so hopefully that will fix me. I will never take this again.Read More Read Less

12.5 daily is keeping HR/bp down with no side effects 25mg was too much for me very sedated, dizzy, chest felt funny. Slowed me down too much. Half daily is working just right. HR rarely goes above 100 which is a big change. Resting HR was in the 120+ sometimes up to the 150’s due to crazy stress/anxiety. Working on my stress levels next. This is the only prescription I take.

I take this for BP and chest pain for nearly a year now. It has improved my life as my chest pains happen much less often and when they do come they are not as severe. My BP can go high as it ever did but most of the time it is perfect which it hasn't been for many years. I don't understand all the side effects everyone has listed in their reviews, I only had minor joint pain for 2-3 weeks and it went away, no other side effects. I feel much better taking this medication.

I started taking 50 mg of Metoprolol daily in February 2016. Back then I was a 68 year old male in good health except for high blood pressure. In March 2017 I began to develop the first signs of Peyronie�s disease. They were painful erections, curvature of erect penis and the presence of a structure inside the penis. The structure was plaque and I could feel it inside the soft penis. I went to three urologists. They all said I had Peyronie�s disease and to do nothing because it might go away. It slowly got worse up to the present time. I googled �Peyronie�s and Metoprolol� and came up with two scientific articles linking Peyronie�s to Metoprolol. I then examined the the WebMD data on Metoprolol and saw as one of the side effects of Metoprolol �Peyronie�s disease�. I immediately stopped taking the drug. That was yesterday, October 12, 2018. I am hopeful that the Peyronie�s will disappear. I will report back here in three months.Read More Read Less

After finally convincing my doctor that this medication was making me feel horrible, he took me off of it.I was not sleeping, had severe aches,digestive issues, and such. I immediately felt better. Have since spoken to 2 different people where their cardiologists have removed Metoprolol from their use upon learning their GP prescribe it for them. There are too many other good options for lowering bp, than taking this poison.

I was placed on Metoprolol ER 11 years to treat SVT. I recall I started on 25 mg and now Iâ??m up to 150mg/day. It took about a year to get me regulated and I recall feeling extremely tired. One positive I very seldom have migraine headaches now. I find my energy levels arenâ??t what they used to be and I have gained a lot of weight, of course that could just be getting older too. Lol. Recently my pharmacy changed their supplier for metoprolol and within 4 days I became symptomatic- extreme fatigue, breakthrough tachycardia, irregular heartbeat. Had to locate another pharmacy that carries the original supplier of my med. Has anyone else had this issue? Iâ??m guess Iâ??m just real sensitive to the manufacturer of this product.

Dr prescribed 1/2 pill was working lowered my bp but then put me on full pill. Got stomach cramps and diarrhea and depression feel like I'm going crazy now bp going up up up.

I now have a pet monster living under my bed since taking this drug but that’s ok

Was put on this poison about 6 months ago to control high blood pressure and high anxiety. The very first night I took it, I thought I was dying...blurry vision, numbness, freezing, panic attack. Awful. After that it seemed to help for a few months...and then didn't. And then my hair started falling out. My doctor thought I was iron deficient, I was not iron deficient. Turns out it's this horrible medication. So now I have even MORE anxiety and have to fix all the other problems it's caused me. My doctor switched me to Amlodipine and Celexa, stopping the Metoprolol cold turkey (although I questioned it and was told it would be fine). Big mistake. Huge. Got to work and thought I was having a heart attack. Ended up in urgent care and then the ER. Now tapering off like I should have in the first place and it hasn't been pleasant. I can't wait until this poison is out of my system. I'm already noticing my hair isn't falling out like it was. I don't know if this works for other people but I will never go near it again. Beware.Read More Read Less

4 months ago, I had transcather aortic valve replacement. 6 wks.ago started on Metoprolol 25mg. 1X day, seemed to manage Palpitations well, lower BP. No change in frequent skipped beats. 2 weeks ago MD Increased to 2X day because BP still too high, within 7 days have I had severe leg and foot cramps, numbness and pain in legs, feet and hands, also in thighs. Have reduced to 1X day, and will start half tab, then stop. I had been doing 2 1/2 mile walk daily, and had to completely stop due to foot pain. Will see Cardiologist in 1 wk. I blame symptoms on addition of metoprolol. Also 3 years have been on Arimidex and 2 weeks Xarelto , which can cause similar side effects. But change in dose of metoprolol seems a significent reason for symptoms. Certainly agreed to by so many comments on Webmd. Read More Read Less

when the dose stops working as your doctor for a higher dose or a split one.

I take several meds for ADHD, Blood pressure, Triglycerides and Indigestion for at least 5 years. I took Metoprolol Tartrate 50mg to to counteract increased BP from ADHD meds. Wasn't enough. Went to 100mg and worked for a while. They were supposed to be taken twice a day but couldn't remember to take 2nd dose at night so Doc changed it to Metoprolol Succinate 100mg 1/day for extended release. BP got higher, so raised to 150mg. My side effects are:Lack of energy, Lowered my sex drive, ED, Cold hands and feet, Hips & right knee hurt, Feet hurt, Mood swings, More confrontational, Blurry vision reading, Gained 15lbs, Indigestion, Muscle weakness, Frequent muscle strains in arms, Tinnitus, Severe loss of long and short term memory, Have trouble finishing sentences or thought processes, especially when trying to talk to people. Can't use the right word for things when telling someone about it, even though I know what it is. It comes back to me later. Same with people's names. From the reviews I have read, I can attribute most or all of these symptoms to Metoprolol. I'm on so many meds, I can't rule it out until I stop taking this and re-evaluate side effects.Read More Read Less

Coughing my head off. Take 25mg ER metoprolol and coughing my head off. My primary says it�s the losartan and not the metoprolol. Well this morning waiting on my cardiologist today to call me back to change losartan, I did not take losartan this morning. Very seldom did I cough. At 1:30 I took my regular dose of metoprolol 25mg and within 30 minutes coughing my head off again. I find it very upsetting that the cardiologist and primary drs do not talk to each other and put us in the middle going back and forth. Metoprolol does cause severe cough in some people!!!Read More Read Less

Has a bonus side effect of curbing nicotine urges. Also keeps Vtach and Vfib from happening along with Amiodarone. But on too high a dose it can make you really tired.

This does work, as my doc started me out on a VERY low dose, 25mg in morning and 25mg in evening. Everyone is different so have your doctor adjust your meds if you have undesireable side effects!

This medication is dropping my blood pressure big time.
