My Side Effect Posts

Metoprolol Succinate ER I'm sitting here reading all of your posts by happenstance. I got a new looking dose and pill from CVS pharmacy when i refilled my Metoprolol. I came here to look it up; make sure it was the right pill. Instead I have found a plethora of people who are going through the same hell I have gone through for the past 9 years. I thought I was losing my mind and my health. I was put on Atenolol initially during my pregnancy, 9 years ago. I had a strange heart rhythm that wouldn't slow it was like 240-OB ICU and a nice carotid artery massage slowed it before they gave me a shock (thank God) but prior to preg, very healthy. Atenolol didn't give me the long lasting relief i needed from PVC-PAC so they switched me to Toprol XL. I've been 120 pounds overweight and have every last one of those side effects you've all mentioned plus im losing my hair on my head and gaining it on my chin. I called the pharmacy to ask after reading your posts and they recalled ALL Metoprolol products yesterday- so why was my prescription given to me and what kind of crazy coincidence is all of this? Maybe I won't have to feel like I'm dying from some strange disease after this.. Thank you all for sharing your symptoms. I wish you all the best for your lives.
