Metoprolol Tart 25mg - Mylan (Page 2)

I took Metoprolol Tart for 2 months, June - July 09 and my heart rate dropped drastically, admitted to hospital with chest pains, breathing difficulty, dizziness, disoriented, head ache, suicidal/homicidal thoughts, heart rate was 32 bpm. Doctor said it was metoprolol and took me off it (was told later should never go off cold turkey) and my heart rate got up above 50. I continued to have problems (have had high bp 140-160 over 80 for several years) tightness in chest, chest pains, persistant dry cough, dizziness, suicidal/homicidal thoughts, headaches, was referred to a pulmonary doctor and then another and was told I developed severe asthma from the beta blocker, also restrictive lung disease, neither have a cure and I continue to have chest pain and dizziness and dry cough and headaches, feeling out of breath. When I took the pills they were pink and now they are white from what the pharmacist told me the pills I was taking were voluntarily recalled and (that means they don't report to the FDA) then changed to the new white pills. I have been hospitalized again for chest pain and my heart checked out throughly and seems no heart problems but all lung problem. I still have high blood pressure but now only take lasic and potassium. I now have to take daily inhalers/breathing treatments. I use to enjoy hiking, fossil hunting, rock hounding, tennis, jogging and am now only able to walk about 500 feet without being out of breath. I also get horrible pains in my upper thighs and feel fatigued all the time. This sucks and the drug companies just consider us collateral damage.. They don't want to compensate for medical or pain or suffering. Attorneys won't take the claim for one reason or the other, it just makes me angry. I don't know if I'll ever be more well or if I will be dead in the next couple of years but I'm not going to give up without a fight. This drug does more harm than good and needs to be taken off the market!

And don't forget that 25mg QD is considered a LOW dose of metoprolol. That's not fair — look at the way it effected you (based on your report of your Ddx, Tx and Rxs, it only could have been the beta-blocker).

I've been on Metoprolol Tartrate 100 mg 2X/day and Lisinopril-hct 10 mg 2X/day for close to four years to keep my BP down - yes it does that HOWEVER, I've been feeling weak and tired for a long time (cannot drive more than 3-hrs without a 15-20 min nap. Recently, very dizzy, and vomiting - had to go to the Doctor who sent me to the ER for an MRI etc. After a whole bunch of question relating to heart issues and possible stroke, it was concluded (by myself and hospital physicians) to cut the metoprolol by 50% - half a 100 mg in the AM and have in the PM. So far, so good, BP in the 115/75 range and pulse in the 55-60 range - not as tired - physically but psychologically expecting it.
