Side Effects of Metoprolol?

I had gout in one toe for a few years until I read an article that said at the first sign of it start drinking water immediately and since then that is what I do and that takes the first sign of a sharp pain in the big toes away

I also take it morning and night, no pain getting used to it now only thing is dreams every now and then, good luck.

i was told do not get off my metoprolol tarate 25 mg twice a day but getting alot of symptoms but doc will not take off of it.anyone no if its ok just to stop this medication cold turkey.her next opening is not for 1 or maybe 2-3 weeks.

specially the insonia also getting worse

i been taken metoprolol tarate 25 mg twice a day sence dec 3rd and still getting those side effects

Definitely do NOT stop it cold turkey, I was put on it in October, 2018, took a month for side effects to ease up, terrible fatigue, a few dreams in the beginning, dry mouth, now I really have to say I have noticed none, Try drinking Camille tea before bed, listen to some headphones and relaxing meditations before bed might help, Good luck🙏🏻

I have been taking it for some 2 weeks, and have night time itchy rashes on my legs, that seem to be affected by warm temps and clothing contact. I had insominia before taking metoprolol, and it is still bad. Also have night time pressure spikes. Metropolol succinate ER, 50mg daily in the morning. Finally will see a cardiologist this week, wanted to go to a specialist instead of my primary care physician.

Hello @italianwitch48

I had a lot of side effects with Metoprolol as well, especially the insomnia, nausea, dizziness, etc. I called my doctor and asked if there could be a substitute med and he prescribed Atenolol. It is the same type of drug, beta blocker, but did not cause the side effects like the Metoprolol did.

How close to your bedtime do you take the second Metoprolol?

Many of us on Connect have posted about Metoprolol and it's side effects. I hope you find some relief soon.

This drug is bad. Every 3 months or so, gout like pain, prednisone is helpful. Fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling & painful joints, especially feet. Anyone have an alternative??

It’s funny how different people’s bodies are, I really complained about this when I started now I have zero side effects, good luck😊
