I would love to know the answer about Metoprolol and sleep. I take 25mg morning and night. I have a terrible time betting to sleep and staying asleep. I need to bet up 3 or 4 times at night because of having to drink lots of water to help my kidneys. I’m sure this plays a part, but it is then very hard to get back to sleep. I’ve taken to wearing flat earphones and listening to “Bedtime Stories for Grown-ups” podcasts to give my mind somewhere to go rather than my stress and worries! Sleeplessness is such a curse.

@karen1945, @tct, and all. I've been on Eliquis 2.5 twice per day for a year or so following 2 strokes and a DVT (GCA), plus Metoprolol half 12.5 mg twice per day since a July 2021 heart attack (GCA!). I don't usually have a problem falling asleep, but am wide awake by 3:00 a.m. and can't fall back to sleep. That translates to only 4 or 5 hours of sleep per night, which leaves me kinda' ragged. I've usually resorted to listening to Lullabies for Babies, which sometimes works to at least relax me into a better state instead of my active and wakeful brain still watching its internal movie of the next day's worries. And @karen1945 , big thankyou to you for suggesting Bedtime Stories for Adults. Alexa is playing it for me now, as I text this msg! I'll be trying that tomorrow at 3:00 a.m. for sure!
