Gene Health Metoprolol Succer 25 md 2per day 2014-11-27 Web MD Reviews: I came to Web MD Reviews because I suspected that I was suffering from side effects due to taking, by prescription of my heart surgeon, Metoprolol Succer, 25 mg 2 per day after formerly taking 12,5 mg per day for about 2 years. Several of these side effects have been bothering me for over a year or more without my realizing ...

The generic versions of metoprolol are not the same as the branded Toprol XL. The time release mechanism does not work properly, causing extreme fatigue cycling with chest palpitations, increased blood pressure, and headache. All of these occured when I was switched from the genuine Toprol to the generic. When I returned back to the Toprol, these severe side effects went away. Please beware of the generic versions of metoprolol.

This has worked just as well as other meds I have taken and for a fraction of the price.

Took this for PAC's. Took TOPROL before. The Toprol was great with noo side effects. This stuff made things worse, caused depression and terrible bouts o heart palpations especially at night. I quit taking it and feel great again. I would not take this medication without your doctor knowing of it, If you got TORPOL stay with that do not allow the ppharmacy to change it.

I honestly don't think this drug is having any effect on me. I feel NO different. At nights, before the drug, I could "feel" and hear the blood in my neck and head. I still do. I have been on the generic for about 2 months and will see the Dr. again and ask if anything is supposed to happen? I still feel faint when I stand up, dizzy when I lean over and tired all the time. It felt the same BEFORE this 100mg a day that I take.

I still have problems with a rapid heartbeat but they are not as severe and don't last as long as before I started medication almost 3 years ago.

I have been on Metoprolol since June 07 for severe PAC's and PVC's. To the point I wanted to dig my heart out of my chest to make the bugs stop crawling. I have had tremendous relief. My BP has dropped a lot but it is still within low limits range of 90/50. The PAC's were so bad I was a danger to drive as things would go black momentarily. This has been a blessing to stop them.

Helps my blood pressure, but caused severe hair breakage in my beautiful head of hair. I went back to Diovan even though it's MUCH more expensive.

It's ridiculous that anyone would have to suffer to save money. I have not stopped sweating since I began taking this placebo. I also have had times when my heart races as though I'm not taking any medication at all. The increased sweating has also caused fungal problems like athletes foot and jock itch.

I am another victim from this drug...this time Walgreens too. I was in tropol for a year, week ago I went to Walgreen for my refill and they gave me this new generic. My husband had to rush me to the Hospital with very HBP...arritmia and very strong heartbeat...now I am back in tropol but after that my bp is out of control.
