Metoprolol Tartrate and metoprolol

i was prescribed 50mg Metoprolol i took it the first morning n i work nights so i went to sleep n woke up feeling sick n left side of my face was numb i wasn't able to work that night. didn't feel right the whole night. second day i took it it wasn't keeping my bp down so i called and doc said take two so 100 mg of Metoprolol. I will tell you first thing i felt was numbness getting worse was scared i had a stroke, was sick, anxiety n panic attacks thru the roof. i finally took a xanex to help me go to sleep as i wasn't able to work that night either. and i woke up with my whole body trembling n shaking and a headache in the back of my head i rubbed my neck and it eased up tho. but the shaking continued for around an hour and i tried to talk to my dad because i felt like i was about to die or something and was chattering so bad it was difficult to talk. I took my xanex to calm that down and it helped calm it again. that was after 4 pills. and the doc was going to increase the mg to 100 no way i quit it this morning went and got my other prescriptions filled bisoprolol and lisinopril they don't just keep my bp down the best but they sure don't give me those side effects that keep me from even functioning. Im thru with Metoprolol. there are too many others out thier that can help besides this particular one. God bless anyone suffering these effects i almost forgot if you have anxiety n panic attacks then taking this for me multiplied them by about 10. Good Luck and thanks for listening.

I have been on metoprolol since 1995, and I would love to get off it. I does cause horrible nightmares, and high cholesterol, blood pressure increased,
tingling and numbness in my feet, difficulty concentrating, depression, You name it metoprolol does it

I'm taking 125 mgs. Metoprolol per day. I've been on that dosage for approximately one year for skipped heart beats (which were very scary). Now I'm hot. Constantly sweating. It's unbearable. I can't stand the heat! The only time I don't sweat is when I'm not moving. I didn't associate it with the Toprol until now. The doctor has been running tests for thyroid, infections, etc. But it doesn't feel like an infection. I'm just HOT. And after reading some of your side-effects, now I'm starting to put it all together. I've been going through some weird sleep problems that I've never in my life experienced. Never had a night I didn't sleep right through the night...until now. So to sum things up: sweating bad, sleep disturbances and slight depression.

I needed Metoprolol Tartrate for a very high heart rate for graves desease, I was in the 115's+ lowered too 8o beats per min. Which is great!
BUT, having some horrid side effects.
BAD night chills, intolerance to cold. Shake for 3+ hours then sweat. Feels like I was hit by a train after then I get very nauseasous and light headed
Sleep is bad, toss and turn all night and have a greater fear of the dark
ALSO, my bones hurt all the time!! Never did before, had tests done nothing there.
This is the only drug I could find that didn't make my heart flutter and feel all funky. Its a great drug for just that. All the side effects suck..bad

I am taking 25mg tablets for Afib in conjunction with warfarin. I still have Afib and I cannot loose weight. I have been on a high fiber, fruit, salad, small portion diet for one month. I weighed 285 when I started and weigh 285 now. Before taking Metopolol I was hypotensive. My normal BP was 90 over 50. My pulse was in the low 50's. Now my BP ranges from 165 over 95 down to 90 over 50. My pulse has hit as high as 200 but fluxes between 100 and 50. I have also developed diabetes type 2 and high colesterol. I am not sure if these are related to the Metoprolol or not. I also suffer from bipolar and PTSD. I am 60 years old.

Weight gain, general bodily aches and pains , anxiety/panic attacks/general depression, difficulty in concentration, loss of general interest.

Metoprolol did lower my bp BUT I was so weak I couldn't do anything. I had numbness, palpulations , extreme depression and all the other things that every bp drug does. They should be taken off the market.
