Okay folks, I've been taking metoprolol for nearly two months and It sucks big time. Came to this site because of feeling dizzy and I find that's a big problem. I keep feeling dizzier, more tired and I'm a zippy old gal, not overweight, none of that, but dang I just feel like crap and tend to drink more coffee and stuff just to keep zipping. I will take a half dose tonight and call the doc in the morning. Also have gastric problems. Heck, I would rather die of heart attack or brain aneurysm (sp, I know) than live life dizzy.

I feel the very same way you are describing-I also take Toprol XL 50mg. at bedtime-I have a hard time in the morning getting going so like you I broke the pill in half, well I did that for a week then one day my heart rate went up to 255 talking about a frightening experience. So now I just pray and ask God to help me every day-just like you I understand the dizziness and lack of energy and I teach adults everyday so I need all of me in that classroom.

Oh I did NOT mean to sound flippant about something as serious as a brain aneurysm! I did take half a pill the last couple nights and have been feeling better. All I have is high blood pressure. I DON'T watch TV news as I would maybe start throwing things!

Hope you began feeling better, you are way too young and pretty to be going through stuff!
