612551 tn?1450022175 I believe, and my cardiologist confirms it is possible, that Metoprolol (beta blocker) cause me to have unwanted dreams every night... never miss a night, or even a nap, always dream and dreams that are slightly upsetting. I like to call them troublemare not nightmare. I have tried, with doc's approval, changing how much and when I take my BB. I had been taking 100 mg in the morning and 100 mg in the late evening - couple of hours before my bedtime.
Avatar m tn I assume Coreg is a beta blocker... they are famous for causing fatigue. I take Metoprolol - and I have found that I have adjusted somewhat. The medication still takes it toll on my energy (I think it is the problem, I am a mere 70). Metoprolol is a selective BB, and is not supposed to affect one's mental state, but it may be the source of your dream problem. I have what I call "trouble mares" every night and have for years.
612551 tn?1450022175 Forgot to mention (and ask) that I have dreams everynight, and I mean every night. Always about the past, sometimes re living my time as a police officer when I was young, and more often most of my working life which was an electrical engineer with my own company. The dreams are regular and totally realistic, as though I'm watching a movie of it all. And they are in colour. Atenalol? anybody else?
Avatar n tn I have frequent PVC's (often with bigeminy) and I also have lots of reflux problems. I have been getting a lot more PVC's the past couple of weeks. I switched from Toprol XL to generic Metoprolol, and I I don't know if that has had any affect. I have also had increased reflux issues during this time. I am getting more PVC's and bigeminy than normal and am noticing it most when I lean forward, especailly while eating. Does this sound like the PVC's are coming from reflux?
612551 tn?1450022175 s Physician Assistant (PA) concerning my change about 3 weeks ago from 100 (or more) Metoprolol a day to taking 50 mg Metoprolol and 240 mg Diltiazem XR (Diltia XT) a day. The former is Beta Blocker (BB) and the latter a Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB). Both are long/extended/slow (whatever) release and are often prescribed for taking once every 24 hours.
Avatar f tn You can look on drug info sites and see that anxiety is an infrequent side effect of metoprolol and other BBs. Same with weight gain, and even a reference to increasing any pre-existing depression. When you have rare side effects, it can be difficult to convince anybody that the effect is real and does come from the drug. I'd identify what web sites he would consider to be as authoritative sources, then print web pages from those sources that list your symptoms as rare side effects.
378273 tn?1262097621 Hey there, I just wanted to comment because I also love to run races and am very active and have these damn pvc's that have even been making me not exercise sometimes because I'm living in constant fear. I started taking Metoprolol a little over a week ago and I don't know what to think about it. What is the name of the company you are getting this generic from? I did some research and found that Toprol doesn't approve the generic from any lab other than Par.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar n tn I traveled a lot in my profession and some of the dreams relate to travel and reservation screw-ups and complexities. Strange, I had almost none of these experiences in my many years of heavy travel. Other dreams relate to phobias I am aware I have even in my waking life. My subconscious worry center is just having a field-day on beta blockers, it seems.
Avatar f tn It usually takes at least a half hour berfore my heart rate goes down. I am on 25mg of Metoprolol which keeps my BP and heart rate in check through out the day except when I take a nap. I was also diagnosed with OCD several years ago. My Lexapro medication was recently increased to 20mg and during the transistion from 10mg to 20 mg I am taking .5mg of xanax. I have had OCD for several years now and I know what a panic attack feels like.
Avatar f tn It definately does give me vivid dreams, in colour too!. If I could only record them I could sell them to Speilberg for movies and make a fortune.
Avatar n tn ve had slightly elevated blood pressure (in the 145/85 range) for the last year and have been taking Metoprolol for the last six wks with some benefit blood-pressure-wise (now 137/70). Episodes in last five nights have been increasing in frequency to average five. They wake me up but only seem to last 8 to 35 seconds (mostly, I'd guess, around 12 seconds).I'm guessing my pulse rate goes up to around 140 bpm. Daytimes, I feel and act just fine.
Avatar f tn who changed me to Quinapril twice a day because he said it was better for kidneys and added Metoprolol ER 50mg / day because my pulse was always around 90. My BP was usually 120 / 80 with the Ramipril. It's now down to 105 / 65 and my pulse is down to 70. BUT I can't stand how gassy the Metoprolol makes me. I am walking around passing gas all day without being able to control it. I also have had terrible dreams and think I am feeling depressed.
Avatar f tn I know they are supposed to be one in the same, but my dad found that they actually have different release mechanisms! I was able to tolerate Toprol better and my dreams and depression and confusion is way better on Toprol. One problem, its way more expensive...but I'm going to try to afford it no matter what just because of how much better it is.
Avatar f tn I use Metoprolol ER and have for a couple of years. I think it is the same or equivalent, but I don't see any mention of Tartrate on my prescription bottle. It works to slow down my HR which is high due to AFib. I believe is main/common unwanted side effect is it makes some people, including me, tired. But, some of that may be due to my underlying AFib.
Avatar n tn I was struggling with side effects from Cardiezem and asked to have my medicine changed, so I was put on 50 mg Metroprolol Tartrate per day, but began to suffer some nasty side effects--headaches, dizziness, nausea, abdominal cramps, lucid dreams, runny nose, and my heart rate dropped from 75-85 bpm to 45 to 55 bpm's depending on what I was doing. When I would sleep it dropped into the low 40's, and I couldn't focus at work, couldn't exercise.
1027737 tn?1253103788 Hi, Can someone tell me what the difference between Metoprolol and Metoprolol Tartrate is? Thank You in advance!
612551 tn?1450022175 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...again I did not had high BP prior to starting the BB a few years back. That is why I concluded the possibility that my body may have developed a dependency on BB to maintain normal BP.
Avatar n tn Some beta blockers are able to cross the blood-brain barrier and some are not. Propranolol and metoprolol are fairly able to do so, but Atenolol is, as far as I know, not. Which means, propranolol and metoprolol can provide more cognitive side effects (forgetfullness, confusion, mood disturbances, etc.) than Atenolol.
Avatar n tn My electrophysiologist recently put me on a beta blocker (Metoprolol) 25 mg twice a day for hypertension and a ton of other symptoms he said must be due to Neurocardiogenic Syncope. I was diagnosed with asthma a couple years ago and it seems as if the beta blocker is causing shortness of breath and a feeling that seems similar to how I feel after exercising, a sort of chest tightness I would say. Is this common for beta blockers to do to people with asthma?
Avatar n tn He has the shakes so bad he cannot eat, becuase he cannot eat he is losing his appetite and strength. They put him on a beta-blocker Metoprolol. He coughs so bad he chokes.
Avatar f tn I recently had an exacerbation of svt requiring adenosine and an increase in my maintenance metoprolol dosage. I essentially lost a day of memory and have been forgetful and foggy headed. Just wondering if this is normal. I can't get any doctor I have seen to address this.
Avatar n tn I never know when they are going to come on and how strong they are going to be and how long they are going to last. The cardiologist has now put me on the 50mg of metoprolol/daily and 100mg of Flecainide/twice daily. Yesterday was my first dose of the flecainide and I ended up in the emergency room again. The doctor at the ER just sounded annoyed with me...told me nothing can be done, PVC's are benign. All he did was give me 1mg of Ativan for anxiety. I don't know what to do anymore...
Avatar f tn I'm 33 years old and prescibed Metoprolol for my heart palpitations, which happens everytime I eat food. After all cardiac tests came back normal, she mentioned that it may be stress related. I'm now being prescribed 20 mg Celexa for aniexty. I only take 6.25 mg of Metoprolol, cutting it into quarters, but are scared to take the two in combination. There are so many warnings about not mixing them. My heart rate has slowed down with the Celexa, but I still get the pounding sensation.
