Hi everyone, I’m a 25 year old male that has been on 25mg Metoprolol Tart twice a day for tachycardia. I was in bed one night and my heart just started racing, so I panicked and went to the ER. That’s where the doctor at the ER prescribed me this medication. Honestly, the worst side effect medication ever but slows my heart rate so I’ve been dealing with it since I was 22 years old. Tried switching meds and those didn’t slow it down, so was put back on Metoprolol again. All I was told is to keep taking this medicine and do test after test after test. Everything comes back fine, which I’m happy about, but frustrated that there’s no solution. Slowly started weening myself off, 25 in the morning and 12.5 at night for a while. Currently on 12.5mg in the morning and 12.5mg at night. Been on this for about the past 8 months. I’m worried about coming off of it fully, but that’s the goal. I’ve went to a naturopath who believes we can get off of it after fixing a few deficiencies and running a few rare tests, so I still have hope. I have noticed hair thinning, dizziness, brain fog, sensitivity to light, sensitivity to heat, irritability, and irregular rhythms. 2023 goal is to ween down to 12.5mg once a day, and eventually come off of it and see how the rate is doing then. Goodluck to all and wish me luck haha. God Bless, we got this. Always believe that things can be reversed. I never will believe that it’s permanent.
