Anyone taken/taking this medicine my Cardiologist gave it to me and I'm alreday taking so many meds. I'm so afraid to add another. I have palpitaions all the time he said it would help me as well as Controlling my BP. I know everyone's body is different. I've had alot of heart test and everything comes back fine. My doctor just said I needed to get my weight down and anxiety is a big factor as well. I'm going to take it just hesitant

Hi blessed19, I've been taking Metoprolol 50 mg twice a day for almost four years now. I had no side effects at all. Then recently my doctor upped my dosage to 100 mg. because my blood pressure was elevated slightly. I started having side effects right away.....headache, nightmares and dark stools. As soon as I stopped the higher dosage the side effects disappeared. I now take 75 mg and I have no side effects.

Only you know your body, if you feel somethings not right speak up. I listen to my doctor only up to a point, then I do what works for me !

Good Luck, Phoebe :-)

I've been taking the extended release version of Metoprolol for over 20 years for Hypertension. I've been satisfied with it. I take 50 mg daily. It also helps me with anxiety and slows the heart down. It may make you tired in the beginning but you get used to it.
