Metoprolol Succinate ER side effects

Been on Metoprolol Succinaate ER 50mg now for two years and have experienced absolutely no side effects what-so-ever. Did experience some minor vertigo from the Quinapril 10mg but cut it to 5mg and all has been just fine.

Just switched from the Quinaril to Lisinopril (highly recommend it) at 5mg and combined with the Metoprolol its keeping the BP where a 20 year old would be jealous.

I think the key to side effects is the 25mg Hydrochlorothiazide tab to keep the system flushed out and eliminate any unwanted build ups of things that cause the side effects.

Great combination and, excellent doctor's at Pima Heart in Tucson Az!

Has anyone else contracted Peyronie's Disease from taking Metoprolol?

Doc recently put me on metoprolol for my rapid heartbeat with hbp its been only 5 days but i can still feel my heart racing some and i feel so tired almost like im dreaming.

I was just switched to Metopolol Taeth from Tropal XL and am not liking it at all. Cough has increased and throat hurts and my voice is changing.
I am having trouble with eyes watering but am not sure it is from that.

Hi,

i am using met Xl 50 from the past 5years and now i had a problem of becoming unconscious during night which starts with headache and giddiness.Is it anything due to met Xl .Can anyone please let me know since i am facing this very seriously.

I was taking Metoprolol Succ er 50mg by manufacturer TASAN
When I went to refill at CVS they gave me same medication by a different manufacturer TAETH - This pill is OVAL in shape and 3X as large as the other pill. The Metoprolol by TAETH was very small and oblong shaped.

I have been having severe pain in my shoulder joint. I am concerned that this is a side effect of the different manufacturer's version of Metoprolol.

I am on metoprolol succinate er.50mg. Also diivan Hct 160/25mg. I was on divan hct for about 6months or so. It didnt seem to give me any trouble except all of a sudden the Dr. sarted to talk about my liver. This scared me so I was trying to find out if this pill could cause trouble with the liver.
Then I started metoprolol succinate er about a little over a month ago. I stared to notice leg pain in my legs. I could hardly walk, the pain just kept getting worse. On my own I went off of it one day them called the Dr. He said just go off it until my appointment, which was a week away. I could tell my pulse went up some, so I started to go on a half bill to see if that would help. It helped some, but I could tell there was a little pain, but not nearley as bad. I have a real dry mouth and headache. I asked the Dr. if I could go on anything else. He said metoprolol tartrate. I think you take 2 aday. I dont know if this is any better. Let me know if you have answeres for any of these problems? Thanks

Hello, I'm not sure if this is a side effect of being switched to Metoprolol Succinate ER from Toprol XL at 50 mg dose once daily or not but since I have been I've had a constant sore throat and mainly at night. If anyone else has experienced a similar problem please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I just got my Metoprolol XL 25 refilled. The druggiest gave me Metoprolol ER 25 . My heart rate is up and i get more PAC, this drug is not working the same . What gives I am going to ask my doctor to put me back on the name brand drug Toprol XL 25 I don't care how much it costs.
the muscles of my legs twitch

I was switched to Metoprolol Succinate ER from Toprol XL at 50 mg dose once daily. I am diabetic and I was on Toprol XL which was not a problem. Now I have headaches that are horrid and I also associate them with the generic medication. I am one of the happiest persons you have ever met and now I am crying for no reason and feel depressed and angry. My feet are swelling until I can hardly get my feet in my shoes and I am having leg cramps at night because of extreme cold in my legs and feet. I am going this week to see if my doctor can get me on something else. Clearly it is this new medication that is causing the problems.

I am on this site because I am looking for answers. I just realized my headaches,dizziness and flu like symptoms have increased several times over since going from Toprol XL 100mg to Metoprolol Succinate ER 100mg a little over 3 months ago. Apparently my primary care doesn't read much about these drugs after he prescribes them.
However, one other side effect I notice is what I call brain pressure and throbbing. I also take Quinapril 20mg. Who knows, maybe they work against one another. Can anyone help?
Himes

After I switched to Metoprolol Succinate ER, the generic form of Toprol XL, which I had used for 4 years with no noticeable side effects, I began having the experience of everything moving faster - heart beat, pulse, intestinal peristalsis was highly accelerated. Daily bowel movements increased from one or two normal a day to three or four. After a few weeks this condition was punctuated by brief bouts of diarrhea(not something I am prone to) approximately weekly.

Since nothing else changed in my food, supplement or prescription drug intake, my digestive system has always worked extremely well, without problems; and because I had a colonoscopy showing no abnormalities in recently years and no occult blood in the stool in a recent doctor's visit, I am wondering if the Metoprolol is the cause. My entire system feels like it is on some type of "speed' drug, sort of a mania experience.

Have there been other reports of this with people who switched from Toprol Xl to the generic?

Switched to Metoprolol Succinate ER from Toprol XL at 50 mg dose once daily. For control of heart rate in A-FIB in combination with quinidine gluconate. For several years, side effect of Toprol XL was the suppression of my cluster headaches. After switching to the generic ER, the headaches are back. Very clear association with the change in medication.

I've had a problem of chronic stress for the past few years. During the past 10 months, I've made 7 visits to the ER because I felt symptoms of a heart atack. Each time I went in, it was EKG, ultrasound, cat scan or IMR, blood workup, oxygen, stress test, etc. I was in the ICU once, for 24 hours. Each time, the results were negative. This past visit (1 month ago), they detected an arrhythmia. This prompted the ER doc to prescribe the drug Metoprolol Succinate ER 25 mg tabs. I am to take it for 3 weeks, then see my GP. Since returning, the heart beat is irregular and somewhat harder than before. It's uncomfortable laying down in bed so I sleep in the living room, sitting up. In addition, I'm taking anticonvulsants (Keppra and Lamictal) and food supplements. I'm due to go in a week and this really has me concerned. I'm wondering if everything is working against each other. I signed medical releases with all four of my doctors but they don't communicate as I had asked them to. The side effects are: constant headaches, ringing in the ears, hallucinations, mental confusion, bipolar/depression, joint pain, weakness in muscles, spasms, panic attacks, increased stress, vision problems, plus thoughts about high medical bills. Any thoughts about this? I don't expect you to respond to this but my email address is:****** Thanks for considering what I've shared with all of you.
Well, I've been having

Just started taking the drug.
