Metoprolol Tartrate and metroprolol

I've been taking Metoprolol for moderate high blood pressure since July2007.
I've been dealing with weight gain....nightmares....sleep disturbances and more within weeks since I began.
I wasn't sure what was going on with me.
I'm 55 and attributed all this to some sort of midlife crisis or something psychological.
I've contacted my primary care physician and will hopefully have an appointment within the next several days.
In the mean time I was told to STOP taking the medication and that he will assess my BP and alternative meds when we meet for my appointment.

Okay, here's one you probably haven't heard before.
Have been taking Toprol for several years. A week ago, my pharmacist switched my prescription to the generic Metropolol. I took the 7th pill yesterday morning. Last night, I had a weird dream about a flood and I awake to find I had wet the bed! Almost 60 years old and wetting the bed? It has to be from the metroprolol. That's the only thing that has changed!

who should not use metroprolol

To be honest, I liked this medicine since I took it the firs time because my arrythmia stopped, BUT the libido is gone out somewhere else. The problem number 2 is that if I don't take the metroprolol, I have heart problems, and one advice: Don't ever stop taken the pill once your Doctor give it to you because you will have a real hard experience, he he.

I don't like medicine, before I knew I had and ASD in my heart I used not to take even pills for the flu, now my life has changed a lot, I can't still get used to be an "open heart operated", but I'm happy I'm alive and that the problem stopped.....even I was a little bit old when I knew I was just feeling worse and worse..... I'm 30 years and my heart problem just began.

Good luck, sorry my english, my name is Alina from Mexico.

I have taken lopressor for several years and the main side effects for metroprolol at least in my case are:

1. vivid dreams with irritating situations that Icannot control
2. Transit pain in the lower abdominal wall that goes and comes invariably
