1189366 tn?1265219887 I was having a little more stress than normal and out of the blue, started having thousands a day. The Doctor put me on Zoloft, Xanax and Bystolic. I was doing OK at first but when I went to 100MGs of Zoloft I started to have them every other beat for weeks. 2 weeks ago the Doctor reduced my meds to 25 mgs of Zoloft and 1/4 of the dose of Bystolic. Within a few days, most of my PAC/PVCs have gone away. Has anyone had this experience? I'm still wondering which drug was doing it.
Avatar m tn I seen my cardiologist today and he found out Bystolic is not available here in canada. I guess it didn't pass our food and drug regulations, so now Im going to try almighty- (Acebutolol) 200mgs twice a day if that doesn't reduce pvc palpitations, bump it up to 400 mgs twice a day.. Im finally going to find out what all the hype is about and if this drug actually works that many people claim. I see the cardio dr.
Avatar n tn The doc allowed me to cut the 20mg tablet in half until our next apt at which time he prescribed Carvedilol 25 mg twice a day. Anyone have any insight as to why he might have done that? Particularly since the 10mg Bystolic tablets seemed to be the “sweet spot” in terms of tolerability. And the Bystolic worked very well for my BP. I am a 41 year old male.
1217309 tn?1267050177 I asked my cardiologist if I could try it and he said that it was an older drug but worth a try. I am on 400mg twice a day and it has been like a miracle. I might get an occasional PVC in a month, but most of the time I am not aware of any at all. Previously I had like 10,000 or more a day. It might be worth a try to ask for Acebutolol. God bless.
15256956 tn?1439425231 I'm glad to hear that you're on CPAP therapy as am I for 8 years now. It no doubt saved me from an early demise, and my OSA was very severe. It took a while to recover from the abuse I was unknowingly putting my body through. I too was/am on Metoprolol. You say that you were on 150mg twice a day. That's a significant amount! I maxed out at 100mg twice a day, and couldn't take it. Any physical output felt like a major effort, and I got this heavy weight on my chest feeling.
Avatar m tn I have been taking Bystolic also 10 mgs 1 a day. I had to stop taking it because my dizzy spells got worse, I had been on it two months.
Avatar m tn s talking about referring to skipped beats but I have thousands a day and take bystolic religously.
Avatar n tn I was put on this medication after running with bp 150/110 for about a month, and they have had to cut my dosage back twice because my bp drops so low. I would definitely mention the readings you have been getting to your PCP or cardiologist and see what their response is. I am not aware what wide pulse pressure indicates other than intracranial pressure. (If you are not experiencing bradychardia or had a recent severe head injury, I don't think you need to be concerned about that.
Avatar n tn I agree with CFS56 about sotalol. I would rather try different drugs to find out what works best for me without trying a drug you have to be hospitalized to start. There are other beta blockers than Toprol. Has your cardo said anything about raising your dosage of Toprol to twice a day. I take it you're only taking it once a day. Is that the only drug you are taking for this problem?
Avatar m tn I definitely need to go up at least to 50 mg, but should I do a 50 mg Metoprolol once a day, or can I take the 25 mg tablets twice a day (every 12 hours). My question is basically this: Would it be OK if you took a sustained-release medicine (that is supposed to stay in your blood for 24 hours) twice a day? Would there be a cumulative effect that could be dangerous perhaps?
Avatar f tn Bystolic is usually taken once a day with or without food. You should take it at the same time every day. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember but if it is time for the next dose, do not take 2 doses. It may cause dizziness and fatigue, but there are no reports of weight gain with this medication. Do not take with alcohol. Bystolic also does not interact with Fosamax or multivitamins and iron.
Avatar n tn I am a 63 female taking 10 mg Bystolic once in the evening. I have been taking it for a year now and lately have been feeling light headed and slightly dizzy in the mornings when I wake up and then throughout the day. Is this a side effect of this drug? It was prescribed mainly for the rapid heart beats.

Avatar f tn In addition to a question I had about whether it could be responsible for my having reactions to medications. Similar to the reactions a person with high blood pressure, would have to say a decongestant. That question was never answered. However, he handed me bystolic 5mg samples, and said to take them for the PAT. If anyone could answer my question about the medication reactions I would appreciate it. I also would like to know if it's wise for me to be taking the bystolic.
Avatar n tn Wow, you could be describing my life. I try to get everything done by 2-3, because after that I'm exhausted and have brain fog. The 20mg of Bystolic has my BP under control at last, but at quite a cost. And if I weren't so effing tired, I'd exercise more. It's hard to accept the weight gain (one was 5 lbs in a month when they increased the B. from 10 mg to 20mg) when you've never looked like this and were always a bundle of energy.
Avatar f tn My doctor increased my dose a few months ago (I take 15 mg twice a day) and I feel like sometimes my heart palpitates and night. The palpitations are waking me up some nights. My BP also seems to be spiking on and off the last couple months. I'm wondering if it related to the Buspirone or something else? I also started taking the generic BP medication (Nebivolol) of Bystolic, because my insurance didn't want to cover the name brand last time I filled it.
Avatar m tn Hi, I have been taking Bystolic for two month now. I am taking 2,5 mg a day. Which dosis did the dr. put you on? My resting heartrate was before taking the med around 80-90. Since taking the med 55-65. The dr prescribed me Bystolic for my blood pressure and the tachycardia (fast heartrate around 133 after eating) that I was getting. What Bystolic does is it helps prevent irregular heartbeats by making your heart beat more slowly and with less force which reduces your bloodpressure.
Avatar f tn I took my first dose of Bystolic 5mg last night - Never been on a beta blocker before. My HP's have fluctuated severely in the past year so my cardiologist thinks it's a good idea. I didn't sleep a wink last night!!! I took it around 8pm after dinner. I was up all night long. I'm hoping these side effects wear off, as I can't go around during the day with no sleep. Maybe taking the pill in the morning with breakfast will work better.
Avatar f tn I've been on bystolic for about a month and a half. I've had some dizziness and a little fatigue. No problems sleeping or anything like that, though. I was previously on metoprolol and had awful nightmares, way worse dizziness and light headedness, heavy leg sensations, etc. Bystolic has been way better for me. Best of luck to you!
Avatar m tn , I take generic Metoprolol myself, very inexpensive too. I take 25 mg twice a day, normal release medication. The side effects that were the most troubling to me, dizziness, passed after taking the medication for a few weeks. Maybe you need to give your medication a longer "test run". Just be careful, I don't know what your side effects are, nor am I qualified to evaluate them...just sharing my experience with BB. My condition is Atrial Fibrillation.
Avatar f tn My doc LOVES Bystolic. Both are Selective Betablockers and they say Bystolic has little or no side effect. I would give it a try. I have not used either but have heard very good things about it.
Avatar n tn Hi...I have never heard of that med, but in research see it is used for reflux and gerd jut like the meds I am aware of. The dr will RX meds for the mgs and dosage ( times per day) per ur symptoms and how much healing u need.....I am on a gerd med and take it twice a day..... If u also modify ur diet and lifestyle u may heal a bit faster and be able to cut back on teh dosage faster.
