1347434 tn?1282591778 He had increased my Nadolol from 40mg to 60mg a day back in November and by Christmas I was so sluggish and bound up I didn't feel like I could function any more. I cut back to 40mg and was able to poo and get out of bed again. LOL So, after hearing this my electrophysiologist told me that he rarely treats anyone with Nadolol anymore (I've been on it since I was 14, and that was 22 years ago) because it's an older-style beta-blocker.
Avatar m tn My husband was already taking a cardiac beta-blocker, metoprolol, for about a year for his heart condition. Because he has cirrhosis, they did a routine EGD last year, and found he had "trace" varices due to "slight" portal hypertension -- no active bleeding though, thank goodness.
Avatar n tn My husband was on metoprolol for hypertension, and though it is considered OK for patients with liver disease, he has since been switched to nadolol (a non-selective beta-blocker) at the recommendation of his hepatologist because nadolol has the additional benefit of reducing portal hypertension.
Avatar n tn Since December '07 I have had numerous tests and medication trials and nothing seems to make me feel GOOD. I was diagnosed with IST/SVT and although I can find a medication to slow down my heartrate, it makes me feel like **** in other ways. I tried Propanolol LA, and it made my heart go down into the 50's. Being used to it being twice that rate, it scared me. So my doctor switched me to a small dose of Coreg.
Avatar f tn After finding out that the ablation was unsuccessful, he put me on Nadolol, metoprolol, and diltiazem. After a fews months of unsuccessful tries with a bunch of different medications, he decided he wanted to ablate again, as there was something really wrong, which was not responding to any medication given. I just had my second ablation done, Wednesday of last week, which was successful. It was found that I had sinus node malfunction.
7510956 tn?1411671417 I was ready to have ablation and get rid of all this stuff but he said if symptoms were bothering me too much to go ahead and take meds, there was nothing else he can do for now. My prior cariologist wanted to change me from Metropolol to Nadolol and now my EP wants me to take Acebutolol. I like to know if anyone here has same symptoms and what meds worked out best for you.
Avatar n tn 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?
768044 tn?1294223436 Nadolol, Metoprolol, Atenolol. All had infrequent side-effects. Metoprolol and Atenolol faired better in the scientific trials with a 2/3 rating, but Metoprolol and Nadolol faired better clinically with a 3/3 rating. In the category of CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS: - At the time, the side-effects of the calcium channel blockers were all quite frequent and could be severe, so calcium channel blockers weren't usually recommended as a first line treatment.
1274661 tn?1301868321 I was at the headache clinic today and I was prescribed the nadolol (Beta Blocker) for the pressure in the back of my head and rapid heartbeat. I was given the Chlorzoxaone (Muscle Relaxer) to try and ween me down from taking so much Excedrin (That is going to be tough!). I usually take Flexeril at night, so she wants me to switch to this other one for 5 - 10 days and then go back to the Flexeril. I am just always so leary of new meds as I usually experience side effects.
Avatar f tn Lately I am getting worse tachycardia even with the 50mg metoprolol twice a day. It seems to come and go in bouts. Overall the metoprolol has helped my tachycardia a lot in the several months I've been on it, but I wonder if it's run its course since the tachycardia seems to be coming back somewhat. I'm only 33, in decent shape, about 178 pounds, 5'11, a bit out of shape but not terribly. I tend to not tolerate exercise too well in that it triggers my tachycardia at times.

Avatar m tn 5mg started yesterday, I was originally taking lisinopril 10mg and metoprolol 25mg. I was fine with lisinopril and metoprolol the only issue was when I get a cough it will last 2 to 3 months, I can't get any sleep at all do to dry cough. The doctor took me out of both medications for 30 days but my HBP would rise especially evening time. The Doctor is now having .
Avatar m tn I have taken Toprol XR and now Metoprolol ER (generic). What I found when it was being used to keep me in Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) the only affect a 50 mg (kind of a middle range dose level) had was it slowed my resting HR down, to the low 60s, some high 50s. When I ran, as I did back then, the HR would come up an "behave" well. I had no side effects unless it was my current problems with dreaming - see my thread still on the first page of this community.
Avatar f tn Lately, I have noticed that when I have a glass of wine, or two, or three, while taking Nadolol, my blood pressure and heart rate numbers are much lower than they normally are. Does anyone have experience with this medication and having a few drinks from time to time? What's the worst that could happen? Thank you.
Avatar f tn i was wondering if it was alright that i take nadolol and lexapro... or take effexor and nadolol... i have migraines and i think im depressed because of them... so is that ok to take a combination of either of the two..
Avatar f tn If anyone can help please, I appreciate it. Does anyone have trouble breathing taking beta blockers nadolol? I don't know quite what it is like I feel my breathing and it does not feel normal. Also, developed bad rash that itches like crazy and wonder if it is the nadolol. I didn't get it right away as I'v been taking it for several months and it is the only med found to lower my heart rate, but have these things since I'v been on it and can't help but wonder.
Avatar n tn This class of drugs, used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease, includes metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol), nadolol (Corgard) and propranolol (Inderal). * Birth control pills. If you use birth control pills, you may wish to switch to another method of contraception because these drugs affect your circulation and may make you more prone to attacks. If you have questions about how best to manage Raynaud's, contact your doctor.
Avatar f tn When this occurs it takes my breath until it stops then I feel the need to deep breathe to get it back in rythum. I am on Nadolol 20mg daily. I feel that my symptoms (especially the fluttering and palps) are getting worse. What would cause that?
Avatar n tn Yes, I know that Toprol XL is the brand name extended release version of metoprolol. However, there is a generic equivalent called metoprolol er, which I assume his doctor gave him. I have read many posts on this forum where users indicate that switching from Toprol XL to metoprolol er still report having problems. The generics are not always as good as the brand name ones.
612551 tn?1450022175 Regarding Metoprolol vs Atenolol, I believe all Metoprolol is sold as Metoprolol Tartrate, but it depends if you take the extended release version or not. I know in Norway, you can get both, but I would not exaggerate if I said that 99% is sold in the extended release version. The drug is the same - but in extended release the pills/capsules are made to slowly release the active substance.
