metoprolol sr

My Metoprolol carries the extra designation "SR" for slow release. I do not have any knowledge about the tartrate. "Kev" may have it right.

I have the same experience with Toprol and Metoprolol. I have gone from Toprol SR to zero in one step, I had not noticeable side effect on or off the medication. I was in NSR at the time, lapsed into AFib and was told to just stop the Toprol. Later I have used the generic up to 200 mg a day, that made me dizzy-prone due to very low blood pressure.

I understand Metoprolol SR and Toprol XL are equivalent, the Metoprolol being the generic, and much lower in cost. I've taken both, albeit it has been at least 6 years since I last used the brand-name Toprol XL. I guess I'm 'lucky" as far as HR goes. If I take 100 mg twice a day of Metoprolol my rest HR goes into the 70s at rest. I have been trying lower dose to see if that reduces the dream problem I have.

I have been off for many years now and on metoprolol 25 b.i.d. I have more issues with that than anything else being tired etc.

I started on Toprol XR then Metorprolol SR, now Metoprolol which I take twice a day (12 hours). Warfarin is just once a day. All generics work for me, or work as well. They do not stop my AFib, but I haven't yet had a clot or stroke, that's good results. You cardiologist should let you give the generic a try.

I was put on Rythmol 425 SR twice a day at home. I was, however on a monitor that was coupled by cell phone (my home was not in a cell for the service) or by data set using a dail up line. So, there were some extra precautions. The good news, no bad effects, the bad news, it didn't stop my AFib. But, that doesn't mean it will not work for you. My EP then suggested some stronger meds that require hospitalization to implement.

This includes Rythmol SR 325 MG twice per day and Metoprolol Succer 25 MG (a beta blocker) once per day. With the medication, the condition improved but was still present. I was told I am a good candidate for and Ablation since I am "breaking through" the drugs and the condition will get worse with time. The ablation procedure has been scheduled for Mid July. Next month! Ten days ago I returned from a two week cruise and started a diet and increase exercise.

Here's a slightly different perspective. I have tried Rythmol SR at a high dose level of 425mg twice a day. I was at "home" on a monitor when I started this medication because of its potential for problems... but I had not, it also did nothing to stop my Atrial Fibrillation.

Thanks, I had done some web searches, but didn't try "rebound", I'll do that. My cardiologist approved my changing from 100 mg Metoprolol SR twice a day to just once in the morning. That didn't change my dream problem, but then I gave it only a couple of weeks try, then I went on my own to 50 mg and have been at that level for a week+. The dreams continue (the BB may not be the driver), but I do notice a higher HR, and now on one or two sample tests a marginally high BP.

I was told I have a preliminary A- fib condition and the EP starting me with drugs that are supposedly mild with minimum side effects . This includes Rythmol SR 225 MG twice per day and Metoprolol Succer 25 MG (a beta blocker) once per day. The combination of these drugs seems to have reduced the frequency of the SVE's but I feel I have lost the top end of my power running or on the bike.

I think you need to discuss what options you have to return to the Cardizem CD results. Is this a beta blocker? Metoprolol is also a generic that is widely available and inexpensive. Calcium channel blockers can also be used to lower BP. Both of these also lower HR, which I think you don't need, but it you do well on a lower HR then anything over 40 at rest should be fine.

It appears to me that it is important to get your resting (assumed) HR below 100. That said, if the 157 was at physical rest, but at an emotional high/low/? then that could be the reason. I assume Nadalol is a beta blocker. I'd look for an increase in the BB prescription if you can stand the side effects. I have taken a BB for years to keep my AFib driven HR under control, and it works well for me. I use a generic called Metoprolol.

My experience for drugs for AFib that are less expensive and effective generics are a Beta Blocker called Metoprolol and if that doesn't handle the problem (it also lowers the HR and BP, which can be problematic is you HR and/or BP are already low), maybe an anti-arrhythmia drug call Propafenone. The latter is still expensive I recall, I no longer take it.

I do not have any personal experience with Bystolic, but I do take Metoprolol, another BB. I have gone up/down on dose with my doctor's approval, from 50 mg a day to 100 mg twice a day, in an effort to bring a high HR down. It also brought my normal blood pressure down, and down too low. I'm now again on 50 mg, once a day and the HR is acceptable.

I'd say follow you primary care doctor's recommendation and take the 25 mg (SR?) Toprol. That is a fairly low dose and will like have only a small and (I think) temporary lowering of your BP. I have taken up to 200 mg a day of Metoprolol (generic) and I have a history of normal BP. This high dose made my BP drop to the point of being a slight problem, some dizziness when I made sudden changes in my activity, like standing up quickly from a sitting position.

oh, just to add to my whining post...I am on meds....a BIG dose of Metoprolol...150 mg a day....still have the palps. I take potassium as a supplement...and Xanax to control the anxiety. Doesnt matter. still have them.

Thanks, that may be the reason my shift to Atenolol from Metoprolol seemed to require a lower dose. I haven't eaten grapefruit for a few days and it appears my side-effects from Atenolol have subsided. I will continue to take a slightly lower dose, now at 25 mg morning 12.5 mg night, then go back to the 25 mg morning and night. As discussed in another post by me on the BB subject I was experiencing very low HR when in bed, and some serious dizziness.

I'm on 90mg Erfa and just introduced SR T3. I cannot get consistent temps no matter when and how many I use? For example I used 3 7.5mcg T3 and temp rose to 97.33 it then went down to 96 around noon after I took 2 MORE! This morning I took 4 SR T3 with 90 mcg thinking I need to take more in the morning but instead it was lower than the morning before when I took less and which was 97.33F. Ive been searching the internet as to some kind of protocol to follow but dont find much information.

i also got very nausus when this would happen...Since then Ive been on Metoprolol tartrate which has helped greatly, although I am not tolerating the medication well, i am very tired on it and sometimes cannot do my normal everyday tasks without needing to rest. I even got fired from my job due to feeling like this. I am currently on 25mg in the first 12 hours of the day and 12.5 mg at night when i go to bed.
