Hi @elland77,
First consideration is why and what condition your doctor prescribed Metoprolol. Make sure you consult your doctor because depending on your condition there are other medications a physician can prescribe for your condition.
There are a number of Mayo Clinic bloggers that have experienced the same symptoms and worse including me. You are wise to taper but DO THE REASEARCH ON METOPROLOL so you understand why you feel the way you feel and absolutely can not quit cold turkey.
If you know for sure this drug is making you sick and it's not a combination of other medications or supplements etc. STAND UP TO YOUR DOCTOR no one knows your body better than you do.
I am in a 6 wk taper and by the Grace of God, I can honestly tell you a lot of symptoms are going away or subsiding. Make sure you stay well hydrated and eat a very clean and healthy diet because I know it's what is helping me. God Bless you I hope this helps.
