User Reviews for metoprolol succinate oral

Not enough of a change in my higher blood pressure. Expected better.

I suffered with bad migraines and nausea. I would wake up with nausea and a headache every morning. When my doctor put me on Metoprolol Succinate Oral 50mg, my headaches and nausea stopped, this pill has given me my life back. I only feel tired around 3:30 in the afternoon, so I take a nap and feel great the rest of the day. I am 68 years old.

My doctor prescribed 25 MG tablets. I was taking it for 3 months, complain of fatigue. Went back 3 months later (total of 6 months) complaining of fatigue again and he told me to cut the pills in 1/2. First three weeks and everything was fine, then this wknd. blood pressure was around 100/60 all wknd. He had told me it may be making my BP to low. Back to my old routine of feeling fatigue and just wanting to sleep on the couch after work nothing else. Going to call the Dr. in the morning to complain. That is why I went online here to check it out. Now, I see all these other people complaing of fatigue just reinfores what I felt all alone that the pills were negatively affecting me.Read More Read Less

I have experienced lots of fatigue while taking metoprolol.

I had a "minor" heart attack cause by blockage of the right coronary artery. Angioplasty and a stint got me going again. At this point it's been a month since I was put on metoprolol and I'm struggling with the side affects still. Dizziness and tiredness still persist. I'm hoping to get used this drug sooner rather than later.

It caused major depression for my husband and he not a depressed man!!!!

My prescription was switched from Toprol XL to Metoprolol. Almost immediately I began having rapid heart beat and heart palpitations especialy at night. My Dr thought I was having panic attacks, but I was positive it was the medicine. Talked her into changing meds. Now on Diovan which has been less syptomatic, but still have some reaction ( Diarheaa). She tells me that all meds cause some reaction. But glad I am off Metoprolel. Topryl XL was good but kept having to increase dose..

I was given this medication when I had a triple by-pass and aortic valve replacement surgery. It controls my rapid heart beat.

I was on ToprolXL for years, with no problems. The pharmacy changed me to this Rx and I began having depression, nightmares, heart palps at night and fatigue. I went to my doc; after several tests/screens/blood panels, my heart is within normal limits, my BP is normal, but because of the palps at night and the fatigue, he is switching me back to Toprol. He said the Met is metabolized differently than the Toprol which makes it less effective toward the end of each cycle.

This drug is terrific at lowering my B.P. but has made me depressed & fatigued bigtime. Guess the benefit has outweighed the side effects but I don't feel like my old self anymore.

I was on toprol up until about a month ago when this generic brand. I have non-stop severe itching on my shoulders only. I couldn't figure out if it was something else I had changed, like detergent or lotions. My eye lids also have been very irrated and red. It finally dawned on me that ever since I changed to this generic brand that I have had these problems. I'm calling my dr today to tell her that I want to go back to toprol and hopefully this itching and stinging will go away - it keeeps me awake at night.Read More Read Less

I was on Toprol XL. My pharmacy starting giving me the Metoprolol XL. I started having the same fatige problem I had several years ago with the standard Metoprolol. Also, I did not feel it was controling my BP thru a 24hr period. I went back to the Torpol XL and feel 100% better. I'm sure the ingrediants are the same but there is something different.Almost like the medication is releasing to quickly into the system.

Has controlled the atrial fib and lowered my blood pressure 20 points. I don't have the terrible fatigue with the 25 mg er. I'm beginning to get back to my normal activities.

Chronic fatigue, heartburn, diarrhea

Blood pressure is steady at this time

I had sever case of diarrhea with cramps . My Dr. said she had two other cases with the same , the only thing was are prescription was change to generic.

I was doing okay with the Troprol XL but Walgreens gave me this generic form. My feet have been swollen all summer and I am terribly tired all the time now. I also feel depressed a lot now. Could this be the reason for my problems?

I have been on this medication for over 7 years. Never have they changed the doseage which is low. However in the last year I have had stomach trouble, nausea sometimes severe and my feet are staying swollen, with burning and stinging feelings, can't sleep at nite for the feet trouble. Stay low blood counts on several types of blood counts. I take this for palutations.
