I have been taking Metoprolol for a year now at 100mg/day. I have not experienced one adverse side effect. The drug works fine as it is intended. It seems to me that people should be telling their physicians of any problems they are experiencing rather than posting on an internet blog. Some of these posted side effects are likely symptoms of the underlying disease instead of a side effect of the drug they are taking.

They had me on a 600mg dose to begin with, which I cut way down to 200mg daily.I have high blood pressure and tachycardia and it does lower all that quite well. However, I am scared to go to bed at night, because I wake up shaking like I'm having seizures, I feel like my whole body is twitchy. Leg cramps, ringing in my ears, vomiting, nausea, dizziness, hot sweats, cold sweats, dark spots on the wall, (my blood pressure was normal), thirst, panic and anxiety, not caring about life or the house or bills, and horrible dreams, no appetite, then increased appetite, insomnia,and this all started about 3 days into the meds. Let your body adjust to it, yeah, it's getting worse so we'll see.
