Common Questions and Answers about Metoprolol side effects tiredness

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. If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to respond based on my experience with the drug.
I particularly notice difficulty with speaking, searching for simple words, or names, some tiredness. Also, since beginning Metoprolol Tart, 50 mg.(probably 4 years ago) taken 2 times daily, I have had three episodes of severe nausea with vomiting coming on suddenly. When I went to ER my bp was in the area of 190/105. Most recent episode in mid-March. Fine the next day except for mild tiredness. ER doctors have diagnosed as either an anxiety attack, or most recently, Vertigo. B.P.
Metoprolol is like the Tic-Tac of beta blockers. Lots of people take it with little aide effects. I take 75 milligrams per day, but have been on as high as 200 milligrams per day.The dose you have put yourself on is extremely small. Metoprolol's half life is approximately 5 hours. If you do the math, you will see there is very little left of the drug in your blood when you take your next dose.
With all blood pressure Medications, you will get tons of Side effects ! Toprol is one Nasty medication, that packs a punch ! I was on it for over 6.5 years straight ! it was

Hows your Hair.. has it thinned out yet ? and have you Gained any Waight yet ?
I have permanent AFib and take 50 mg Metoprolol ER and 225 mg of (I believe it is the same) channel blocker twice a day. I have no side effects other than some fatigue and general tiredness. Some of this comes from my age and the fact I no longer do serious aerobic exercise. I used to jog 3 miles 3 times a week when on a beta blocker and when on Propafenone which were back then holding me in normal sinus rhythm.
My cardio gave me some samples of 10 mg coreg to take once a day and a prescription to fill if the side effects from the metoprolol do not get any better. The side effects from the metoprolol have gotten a little better - I don't feel as exhausted, though as I type this my heart rate is 52 bpm. Plus when I go walking I can't get my heart rate above 95 bpm. Does any one have any comments on the pros and cons of carvedilol versus metoprolol?
I tried it for a day or two but I could not tolerate the side effects, so stopped. I have had to wait 2 weeks to get an appointment with my Dr. I will see him tomorrow.
Meanwhile I now have an ever increasing heart rate and other symptoms mentioned in your website.
How do I explain all this to my Dr?
Depression, diarrhea, dizziness, itching, rash, shortness of breath, slow heartbeat, tiredness.
The chest pains are another issue and could be the result of restenosis of the previous treatment of angioplasty (balloon, stent?). The symptoms of chest pain, excessive sweating , etc. is consistent with ischemia (lack of blood flow) possibly with restenosis or other blockage. It would get an immediate checkup, if it is ischemia there can be permanent damage to the heart cells.
Addressing only Metoprolol: One of the side effects this particular beta block is bradycardia. I was put on this med after complaining to my PCP about an elevated pulse during the night(not tachycardia). He kept increasing the dosage until I was up to 150mg/day, It slowed my pulse alright, but it also slowed my hearts response to needs for increased output. It felt like a large rock on my chest when I tried to do any physical activities.
He was suggesting it had fewer sexual side effects. Maybe the Cialis will be enough to override any sexual side effects from the Metoprolol so I won't have to switch, but still curious whether I should ditch it for the Cardizem to at least try it. I don't have high blood pressure, just tachycardia and the metoprolol really helps keep that in check. Should I just stay on metoprolol and try the cialis and see how it works or should I try the cardizem?
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've been on 50 mg metoprolol twice a day for the last three months with no side effects at all except that my resting heart rate is somewhat low in the forties but even that has not caused any problems. I have not had the vivid dreams or tiredness that some people mention. Funny thing though, I have had more PVCs than I did before!
All the best to you.
About 5 days after starting treatment with a beta blocker (atenolol) for persistent SVTs, I developed a number of "symptoms." I'm trying to ascertain whether these symptoms are side effects of the medication or due to some other cause and just a coincidence.
I did fine so I upped to he whole. I really dont notice any side effects at all and Im one of those freaks that monitors for every little side effect. this reallyhad none. I actually look forward to taking it because it does slow your heart rate down a little -- not a lot to where it would bother you -- and it does actuallyhelp with anxiety because it eats up the adrenaline surge you get with the scary skipping. Try a low dose to start. It hink youll be fine.
By the way. I am on 75mg per day of Metoprolol, and have been as high as 200mg with no side effects except sluggishness at the high dose. I'm fine at 75mg and have taken it for 10 years, Now that I reread your post, do you think you're having syncope as a result of the medication of because the of Vtach?
Hello everyone. I had sexual side effects from taking Metoprolol Tartrate. Are there any BP meds that I can take that do not cause these effects? I have heard of some that I could speak to my doctor about. But I wanted to ask here to see what advice I get from this forum. Thanks so much.
Hair loss is sometimes a side effect of taking beta blockers. Not sure if there's a way to stop that other than changing medications.
You have normal sinus rhythm but it's fast? How fast? If it's consistently over 100, you should talk to your cardio about that. It's not normal or healthy. Your meds may need to be adjusted.
