Metoprolol: Are you experiencing side effects?

@anonymousanonymous Glad you were working with your doctor to get off Metoproplol, have the dizzy spells stopped? For sure, none of us wanted to get into the queue for a septal myectomy, but here we are telling our tales. Where did you go for yours? When people have many medical concerns, I that there needs to be a medical coordinator. The job would keep track of the various areas of care, and more importantly, all prescribed drugs and possible interactions. It could be that the Metoprolol was interacting with another medication....Agreed 100%, not taking drugs if you don't need to, but why would the doctor prescribe it if it was not needed?

Yes, the dizzy spells have stopped. Several years ago they started and my doctor at that time cut my metoprolol in half. Now mind you I had been losing weight and still am during this entire period so I became lighter by quite a bit. Maybe that had something to do with it. I don't know. Maybe even the beginning of this year, I'm not sure. I started getting dizzy spells again and I went to my cardiologist and once again he told me to stop taking the rest of my metoprolol. I did not need it. I was very grateful and happy, overjoyed even. I didn't really want to take them unless I really needed them. I wish I wouldn't have to take any medical pills but I do. I take quite a few actually. So there's a short answer yes he did stop the metoprolol and I do not believe it was because it was an accident when they was prescribed to me way back when. At that time I was over 310 lb I now weigh 225 lb.
