User Reviews for Lopressor oral

Lopressor has cused me to have increased hunger and have gained some weight.

Am diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Have been on metoprolol 25mg every 12 hours since my first atrial fibrillation episode in 6/2004. While it seemed to work well in the beginning (1 episode the first year, a couple the next year, about 4 the year after, etc), the A-fib episodes have increased to about 7 this last year. The most pronounced symptom appears to be tiredness - can only stay awake for about 12 hours before I get really tired. It still works well to keep my elevated blood pressure and heart rate at a normal level, sometimes a little low, but acceptable.Read More Read Less

It hasn/t stopped the missing heartbeat symptons. only lessoned it some.

I am taking Lopressor 25 mg along with Lisinopril 40 mg for about tow weeks now. It has brought my blood pressure down from 170/102 to 128/68.

CAUSING WEAKNESS, UNABLE TO COPE WITH EVERYDAY TASKS

before taking this medication, i had fast heart beat and much angina, the lopressor has helped in this ares. but don't expect complete recovery. you will still have a heavy heart feeling. and experience pain in many of the chest areas, but for short periods.

I have been on Lopressor for about 2 months and it seems that the side effects are worse than the slow heart rate. I'm only on 25 mg a day, but I have gained weight, feel a little dizzy, a little tired, spacey, and experience swelling on the ankles. Prior to taking this drug, I did not feel dizzy, was actually beginning to loose weight, tired, but within normal range and some swelling, but not much. This all began when I went on Lexapro, now off it due to side effects. (No anxiety or depression). I was the one who had to tell the doctor to get me off that. Now Lopressor for slow heart rate and I feel far worse now than before I started. I feel that my antidepressent helped, but I knew when it was time to get off. I feel tha same about Lopressor. I have always been a hig energy person and now this stuff has slowed me down.Read More Read Less

Have some shortness of breath when climbing stairs. Feeling pressure around the head region when lying down before sleep.

Been using this drug for about 4 months. The only effect I feel that is negitive is my sex drive has decreased. I cut the dose in half and I am having sex more thank god. Sex to me is more important than this drug.

Only been taking for one week; strange that my normal high heart rate and high BP are lower now which are a normal rate and BP, however, feel sluggish and severe hand & arm numbness. Also, swelling of hands & feet. Wondering if I need the Lopressor HCT so that diuretic can aid in swelling. Will check with doctor on this.

Took this as a two week trial to lower BP (was 149/95) and within a week was down to 128/82. No side effects other than intense dreaming.

I have a fast heart beat and constant episodes of svt and high blood pressure... at first the pill made me feel tired all the time but after a couple of weeks i felt better... and also it works slowing my heartrate and i dont have the svt episodes.. if i skip a dose my heart acts up so i try to remember to take it... it really helps

Bad, bad side effect: Loss of libido, erectile dysfunction....PERMANENT, I'm told, by the doctor. I have a normal beating heart, but no sex. Great trade-off!

stil have uigh blood presure

immediately stopped my irregular heart beats and slowed my pulse down.

slight experience with light-headedness

the only thing i do not like about the meds is the side effects, but im glad to have a normal heart again.

After reading through all the reviews I thought, wow! I am Type II Diabetic and this drug is the best High Blood Pressure medicine for Diabetics because it doesn't raise the blood sugar levels. I am like the girl with the super high BP and my normal was around 190/140 or higher. I was first on 50mg twice daily. That got me down to 140/90 for a low. Then recently the doctor increased me to 100mg twice daily. Bingo! I am now in the normal range and have seen 111/63. But my Heart Rate is still in the mid to high 80's. Added to this problem is that I have to take huge doses of Potassium to combat the potassium stripping the Lasix does. And I am on high dose of Lasix, 160mg once a day and 18,000mg Potassium (18k is not a miss-print) Plus that isn't enough to get rid of the fluid, so have to take Zaroxolyn too. I have Meniere's disease, both ears. The Glands that control the fluid in the body is dead on me. So, I have zero fluid control. So, reducing the edema (fluids) wasn't enough, and Lopressor works well for me. As for Sex drive, Oh I have no problem there! I have all the want and desire! :-)Read More Read Less
