metoprolol other uses

My son has severe asthma and uses a separate steroid inhaler (Flovent) and uses his ventolin inhaler for emergencies.

I would also say that 25mg. of Metoprolol is a very low dose. I believe one of the primary uses of Diovan is for congestive heart failure. Do you know if you have this condition? Perhaps it's that, or the Diovan that's making you feel fatigued. Metoprolol is now a second line drug for controlling blood pressure. There arenow newer drugs available that will do the job without the unwanted side effects.

any one out there uses metoprolol for blood pressure and heart rate it seems to work but dont like the floating feeling i get

I'm on Bupropion 300mg/day and Xanax (0.25 - 0.5mg as needed). Also taking Metoprolol 25mg/day for hypertension. I'd like to ask my doctor to add Fluoxetine to boost my serotonin. Are there any bad side effects from combining these meds?

SSRIs like paroxetine are a type of antidepressant that works by increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain, while metoprolol is a beta blocker which works on the heart. What type of metoprolol are you taking. Metoprolol Tartrate or Metoprolol Succinate?

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?

I'm taking metoprolol and I don't have those side effects. Maybe your other meds cause those issues?

Hi, Can someone tell me what the difference between Metoprolol and Metoprolol Tartrate is? Thank You in advance!

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.

How does this work? Do I take 25 mg of the metoprolol in the morning along with the verapamil, and then the other 25 mg of metoprolol at night? Do I take all 50mg of the metoprolol in the morning and the verapamil at night? I don't want to slow everything down too much. Help if you can please.

I don't think the metoprolol, a beta blocker which; reduces the force and rate of the contraction of the heart, is causing this. The medicines that you take for hyperthyroidism might cause some exacerbation of the "hard heart beat" symptoms, especially if they are contraindicated with metoprolol, of course. Your doctor should be on top of this and I would let him know about it, especially if it just started, or is getting worse.

And I am questioning the competence of the PA who told me to take the last 6 halves of metoprolol 25mg every other day and then quit taking them period. I took half of a 25mg daily for 10 days prior and 25mg daily for about a month and a half before that. And I was on 50mg for I think maybe 5 or 6 months before being cut down to the 25mg. At first, the metoprolol seemed fantastic. Little did I know then that I would be taking a med that also would fix my bp..

We now wish her to undertake a long haul flight accompanied by grandmother trained nurse who also has SVT from time to time and take no medication but uses valsalva if need be. Paediatrican and cardiologist both saying it is a family decison. The cardiologist made two suggestions, Flecanide to be taken one month prior to travel and the other do nothing at all. I am in favour of do nothing at all.

Propranolol and other medicines in its class are capable of evoking bronchospasm in people with asthma. Metoprolol is selective, but not entirely so; thus, asthma worsens in some people given this “selective” medicine and you may be one of them. Your doctor may have prescribed the metoprolol for both relief of the syncope and treatment of your hypertension. There are many other anti-hypertensive medicines that will control your hypertension without aggravating your asthma.

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!

Could this be related to the Metoprolol? I am somewhat sensitive to other medications. Doctor has also presribed Hydrochlorot, 25 mg, Triam/HCTZ 37.5-25, Amlodipine, 5 mg. Each of these are taken 1 x daily. Other medications include Zetia for elevated cholesteral and Naproxen for severe osteoarthritis. I note on side effects that vomiting is listed but not how often. Has anyone experienced similiar episodes. Pat M.

When did the shaking ang cough started? Is this before or after the prescription of metoprolol? Metoprolol is a beta-adrenergic blocking agent that is used for treating high blood pressure, heart pain, abnormal rhythms of the heart, and some neurologic conditions. Metoprolol is generally well tolerated. However, this drug may reduce blood flow to the hands and feet, causing them to feel cold. Smoking may worsen this effect. Some side effects include: symptoms of a very slow heartbeat (e.g.

I have tried other beta blockers including metoprolol. Metoprolol did not agree with me. It actually caused my heartbeat to race, or jump quickly, when I would get exerted. I went back to atenolol 25 mg.

I take metoprolol (aka lopressor) for PVC's and occasional SVT. It has been good for me....my PVC's are not gone, but they are not as "forceful" and therefore are easier to ignore. The SVT is very infrequent for me in the first place, so I can't say that the metoprolol has had anything to do with the fact that I haven't had any for nearly 1.5 years, but I'm not going to stop the drugs to find out :-).

I was prescribed the Metoprolol for Mitral Valve Prolapse. After taking the Metoprolol for many years my then Doctor told me to wean and how to. But it didn't work. There is nothing wrong with my heart. I have seen 2 Cardiologists over the past years. They said that I am fine, did all the tests, everything, nothing wrong. One doctor sugested that since I had taken the Metoprolol for so long, my body is used to it and reacts without it. So I decided myself to start weaning again.

I am on 100 mg of Metoprolol (and 5 mg of Amlodipine) for high blood pressure. My pulse gets down to 44-48 but I do not feel faint. Should my Amlodipine be increased and my Metoprolol reduced since beta blockers reduce pulse rate?

The doctor put me on lisnop/hctz then sense then cause of my heart rate he put me on metoprolol to calm my heart rate down. both pills twice a day. Is this good for my body? I don't know whats going on can anybody give a imput on this.my heart is racing and beating so hard.
