I’m on it for 40 days now. Only 1/4 a day which is 12.5mg in the morning . I get dizzie all the time & very tired . I hate it but it’s for my anxiety. I also feel my heart is tight . Or pressure. And pain on my back & to my neck . But my doc says the pain is arthritis.

[@ArlineHunter-gr7fm]

Can you not take the high dose a lower dose ? My heart beat is too fast 99 I feel it but it's buzzing fast 99. Terrible feeling. Migraines got me down not sleep just up and down again for going on 4 days. This change in the weather hot then rain causes this the big one makes migraine stay longer. God how I wish for a remedy . Favor pass the word. Thanks

I take it for rapid heart rate.

I have been taking Metoprolol succinate ER for the last 5 months and my fingers often feel cold which is very annoying to me. After 5 months that side effect should have been gone by now. Is this something that should be brought to my physician's attention? BTW, this medicine has done wonders for my BP, thankfully!

Maybe eat healthy and avoid taking big pharma junk

Been takinkg it for 10 years since my heart attack. Not exactly sure why my cardiologist prescribed it, but since I have bradycardia, I cut a 25mg (which you missed) pill in half and take 1x day.

Hi doc! My patient is taking metropolol tartrate 25mg.. at first we were crushing it in a tablet crusher and mix with ensure since my patient doesnt eat apple sauce,yogurt,pudding. Lately she used to spit the ensure with crush metropolol mix in it So what i did,i dissolve the tablet in a teaspoon of water and soak the tablet for 30mins till it dissolve and mix with ensure and let it drink with the patient So the question is which is better crushing the tablet or dissolving it?

I have this for my heart rate as mine beats up to 165bpm on resting. I also have a Chanel blocker and now my blood pressure is high so I have just started on ramipril for that.

Do you have other heart problems that need attention and test? Or how about thyroid test blood test? You may have something wrong somewhere in your body that needs attention and not just a pill.

[@lovorka3321]

I just got it prescribed because my resting heart rste is too high (anxiety, PTSD, autism). I hope this hrlps because I am so tired of living like this. I'm also on anto anxiety medication.

I've been on this drug for 12 years. The fatigue is there. But, so is a reduced walking pace. I used to walk fast (normal pace). Now my wife, who is 8 in. shorter, leaves me in the dust.

Can I switch immediately from atenelol to metoprolol?

[@LastTrump7]

I take Atenolol. Did you switch?

[@madeleineAchee21]

@@LastTrump7 I didn't switch yet. My doc wants me to try metoprolol but I haven't yet. Wondering if I can switch meds immediately.

[@LastTrump7]

@@madeleineAchee21 you should ask your pharmacist but I was told they are both beta blockers and you start off the next day with Metoprolol just as you did the Atenolol in the dose the doctor prescribed. I was given that choice to but decided to stay with Atenolol because I had taken 25 mg for 26 years. The only change was I now take 25 mg in the morning and 12.5 mg at night. What was the reason he wanted to change from Atenolol to Metoprolol? Did you have any problems with Atenolol?

[@madeleineAchee21]

@@LastTrump7 Thanks for all the information. Yes, I was having more issues with tachycardia, and I felt like suddenly my atenolol wasn't working like it used to. I was having severe anxiety. So, I was supposed to start taking the metoprolol. I'm going see my cardio doc soon and will talk to him about it again. Thanks again!

[@Dannyvm27]

I switched from atenelol to metoprolol. Stopped the first for 2 days then started taking the new
