Metoprolol libido
Common Questions and Answers about Metoprolol libido
toprol
It's not so much my libido that's dropped, it's that I've noticed that in the last year or so, I get aroused just fine, and can get an erection, but sometimes during sex I have trouble maintaining the erection. Not sure if that's just aging or metoprolol side effect. I'm 33 though, so not old. I asked the doctor about it and he said we could try Cardizem.
Yes, Metoprolol Succinate is the timed release. It is also way more expensive than Metoprolol Tartrate. I switched long ago to the latter and saved a lot of money. A dose costs literally pennies. You have to remember to take it twice a day though. I take it at "5 and 5"; at rising, and at dinner, and it's easy to remember.
Metoprolol has the same bradycardia effect as Atenolol, so that has to be watched.
Metoprolol is available in two forms, fast acting Metoprolol Tartrate (Lopressor), and the time release Metoprolol Succinate (Toprol XL). I used both, and found that side effects are similar; tiredness, weight gain, and a slow pulse. Side effects are more pronounced as the dosage is increased. I had dosages from 25mg to 200mg. daily. Other reported effects are loss of libido, tightness in the chest, itching, irregular breathing, and irregular heartbeat.
Hi, I'm 29 years old, otherwise healthy, and was diagnosed with high blood pressure a little over a year ago.... it was dangerously high at the time (I can't remember all the readings but the diastolic was usually between 95-110).
I had a bad experience with metoprolol. (even at just 12.5 mg). It made me dizzy and lethargic and then at night I had a vivid night terror.
Could anyone recommend another one that is working for them? I have prehypertension as well so the BB would be killing two birds with one stone (BP and HR).
Thanks in advance for your responses!
I take metoprolol and I have had hardly any side effects. It did make me alittle tired but I got use to it. Everybody is different when it comes to meds and side effects. For expample musikbox could not tolerate metoprolol and was switched to atenolol. For me it was the opposite. I could not function on atenolol and had to come off of it and I am having no problems with metoprolol.
I went to my physician complaining of awakening in the night with a elevated and pounding heartrate (sinus). He put me in the very popular beta blocker Metoprolol. Having no effect on my problem, he kept increasing the dosage. At one point I was taking 200mg. Any activing felt like I was walking in lead filled shoes, and it felt like a cider block was on my chest. I took that dosage for about 1 or two months until I couldn't continue to live like that.
ve been on Toprol XL in the past and moved to Metoprolol EL (generic) to save some $$$$, otherwise I think it is the same.
The only problem I can associate with Metoprolol is fatigue and some tendency toward dizziness if I change my physical level too quickly. Then too, that is only a problem when I am at my maximum dose level of 200 mg a day (100 twice). These are side effects I've read others report.
t do much but maybe is there another medication I could try? The Metoprolol affects my libido and I have to take Cialis sometimes for that reason.
Im already on 100 mg 1 time a day of extended release Metoprolol.....and I think, just to appease me, because ive had a couple really really bad days of almost nonstop palps..he said to increase my Metoprolol to 1 100mg tablet in the morning...and 1 100mg tablet at night. Anyone EVER been on such a huge dose before??? I trust him...but yet....Im scared to take that much!!!
ANY info on SVC OR Metoprolol would be appreciated!
I have taken Toprol xl 25 mg for about 5 years. My doctor switched me to metoprolol several months ago. When I filled my prescription this time, it was from a different mfg and I think I may be having problems with it as I just don't feel right. Could changing the mfg make a difference? ALSO, my doctor prescribed 50 mg to be cut in half for my prescribed 25 mg dose. Does cutting this tablet in half compromise the time release?
I have been having some strange symptoms since starting metoprolol as a migraine preventative. My head feels like it weighs a ton, and there is a lot of pressure up there, too. I've also been experiencing blurry vision and some concentration issues. I also take lithium, trazodone and neurontin and a rare xanax.
t do much to prevent episodes. I was on Metoprolol for 6 years, and although it helped converting them, it did nothing to prevent them. I was getting 3-5 episodes per month.
Until you can see someone, log your events, date, time of day, heart rate, and duration; any other symptoms. This data is valuable in helping your doctor diagnose you. Typically, an EKG will usually show nothing if you aren't in SVT at the time it was taken. Many doctors will pass it off as anxiety.
