metoprolol for public speaking

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.

So, JESSiCA, we meet again! I'm glad to hear you're involved with a partner and a project, but I do understand your fear of public speaking. I'm positive the vast majority of us would rather streak through Wal Mart than get up in front of a group of people. (Would anybody notice us in Wal Mart? Somehow I think we'd just "blend!") I suppose there are a number of things you could try before it was your turn to be on stage.

Generally speaking, I think most people see little improvement on Metoprolol. I've been on it for 10 years, both before and after my ablation, and I've seen little improvement in the PVC clusters I experience on occasions. Metoprolol is often prescribed because it is well tolerated by most. It does lower my blood pressure and that's the reason I'm on it today. It's much cheaper than the front line drugs for hypertension, so I continue to take it.

First, don't take this if you're on medication targeting serotonin receptors, such as an ssri or snri. Assuming you're not on medication, the answer is, maybe, maybe not. The same answer you'd get if you went on medication. Sometimes things work, sometimes they don't. Second, 5-HTP isn't a vitamin -- it's an amino acid, a metabolite of L-tryptophan, which along with co-factors such as B6 (which is a vitamin) us used by the body to manufacture serotonin.

Hi all - new here. Just curious if anyone else has serious speaking problems (along with everything else?). I stutter and get confused on my words...

Will taking a small amount of Xanax help with calming nerves for public speaking? Taking a small amount like 0.25 ?

I dont avoid engaging in public speaking,i try speaking in public the least chance i get but very short statements.I did some few reading about beta blockers and i saw that it help relieve anxiety . i once complained to my Dr but He says is nothing to worry about.I was given vitamin B6 and Magnesium combined for tremors.If Beta blockers help with anxiety why does my heart races,voice and hand still shake in public activities like speaking and suturing infront of my classmates.

I now take 30-40 caps a month, but really feel the need for more to function. I was prescribed originally for extreme migraines, then began using for my anxiety disorder. How do I get off this drug, and CAN I after all these years?

Public speaking is scary to most people, in fact it's one of the biggest fears many have. People who do public speaking as a career can still get very nervous, performers, rock stars all talk of being terrified before doing a show. One thing to always remember is that many are envious that you are able to get up there and speak, and they are glad it's not them. So, if you mess up a time or two they understand.

t stay in your system for more than a few hours. Many who take it for anxiety are public speakers who need to calm down right before making a speech. If your anxiety is severe there may be better ones for you, but only your doctor will know. Since you've had problems in the past he may have a reason for giving you the propanolol. Trust in his decision, it does work for anxiety and may be best for you. Your doctor is your best resource. Hope it makes you feel better and take care!

Hello. Just a quick question. I was put in metoprolol just to slow my heart rate a little ...about a month ago but it been making me feel really weird immediately after taking it for hours and hours. I contacted my doctor and his nurse told me to stop taking it over the weekend and monitor my heart rate over the weekend. However I've read it's extremely dangerous to just stop this medication and now I'm a little scared. My dose is only 12.5 mg a day.

There are self-help books available that will teach you many tips and tricks to deal with this anxiety. If possible, take a Public Speaking class.........I did and it was the best thing I'd done for myself at that time. I still got some anxiety beforehand, but I had learned so many ways to deal with it, believe it or not, public speaking actually became fun. One of the most important things I learned was to be totally prepared.

Tonight my husband and i are laying in bed watching videos on saltwater fish stuff. And we come across the one video about breeding shrimp and it's some Asian guy speaking. I know this is mean but I literally could not help it. The way he was speaking was making me laugh so hard! I started crying and next thing you know I pee myself. I know it's normal but I had to get up slowly so my husband wouldn't notice haha.

Even speaking something like an opinion on the internet can drive me on edge, same as speaking in person in public as well. Just a lot of excessive anxiety, it seems that I have. And it takes over my life. I hate it, so much. I get scared. And I overthink a lot of small conversations and actions that I did in front of others. Everyday. I see a therapist and I plan on bringing this up to her. Maybe she'll have me get on meds.

Some of these medications should be uptitrated by his cardiologist to allow for the maximum dose as he tolerates them (namely, Ramipril and Metoprolol). His Plavix should continue for either several months up to 1-2 years depending on the type of stent he received at the time of his percutaneous coronary intervention (bare metal stent vs. drug-eluting). As with most medications, daily compliance with all of these is imperative for maintaining healthy cardiovascular fitness.

2) Are there any alternatives to regular blood pressure medication for treating SVT? I was taking metoprolol tartrate 25 mg twice daily, but this caused me to experience chest pressure. My cardiologist took me off of it and put me on a low dose of cardizem. I haven't experienced any ill effects so far from cardizem, but I would much rather find a natural treatment for SVT like acupuncture or natural medicines. I know that bearing down can help stop an episode of it...

5 year ago and had very short period (2 days) of AF post-surgery. I have been taking Metoprolol Succinate 47.5mg/day for 8 months as long term essential medication for HCM. My daily pulse is around 45-55 bpm and occasionally feel lightheadedness. I recently had one FAINT when I rested at a sofa. It lasted for about 5 seconds. My pulse was 50 immediately after recovery.

I have found some success but since what I am speaking about is still an unidentified criteria I will post about it here rather than the neurology forum or any other public forum. I contacted one of the neurologists who was one of the original researchers into the criteria "tardive dysphrenia" and recieved return correspondence today.

ve just been doing alot of paperwork lately, how long do you think I should wait until I get back to public speaking and singing?

I called my electrophysiologist. The dr on call for him told me to take the other 180 mg at that time and go back.to the 360 mg tomorrow like I used to take. What would cause my bp to jump like that? Did it take my body that long to recognize my dose had been halved?

It is not necessary to do public speaking if you are an accountant. If you like accounting, go for it. Just don't apply for any job that says "public speaking" in the description. I don't think my CPA has ever given a speech in his life or made a presentation (to more than the person whose taxes he is doing) either.

I have been on metoprolol for a couple of weeks now. I was put on it for tach aswel. My heart rate will just spike up to 160 out of no where. I havent experienced wait gain or any hair loss so far. But it keeps my hr around 22-55. And I feel really tired since I've been taking it. I have had several episodes of tachycardia since I started taking though. And my blood pressure stays really low. I feel tired, kind of week, and sometimes it's like I'm in a daze.

I took 2 different versions of metoprolol, Toprol (metoprolol tartrate) and Toprol XL (metoprolol succinate). The second one is the extended release version. Toprol made my symtoms worse but Toprol XL worked fairly well in controlling my conditions, PVC's and PSVT. I was taking 50 mg a day in both cases. The only thing that affected me was a slight feeling of dizziness at times and some mental fatigue.

It will help. But if you're referring to public speaking to a large group of people, I suggest you take one prior to that day to make sure it isn't too sedating for you. If it's being prescribed for social anxiety, it will calm you down allowing you to feel better about conversing with others. The more you are able to talk, the easier it will get. Best wishes.

I've been suffering from anxiety for many years now. I'm on Xanax and Aurorix. l take 0.125 Xanax only at night and 150 mg of Aurorix twice a day. This is after the discussion with my doctor. My anxiety is very much controlled. However, my anxiety becomes very bad when I become the center of attention. I dread public speaking but it can't be avoided sometimes. Do people with anxiety disorder dread the same thing as I do? Is it because I'm taking too little dose of Xanax?
