(Newest replies first)

Updated

I have been on 25 mg once a day for about 9 days. I am experiencing tightness of the jaw and neck. I'm also having headaches and sore gums. Has any else had these side effects while on this medication?

As well as 20 mgs LISINIPRIL

I have been on these 2 dosages 2 weeks

Also, as for the people who posted that they had tightness and pain in the chest and pain and the neck and head and teeth, Do you also have anxiety or panic attacks, cause those are all symptoms of them. And while metoprolol will lower your pulse rate, you will still get regular anxiety attacks if you have had them before. Well you will get all the same feelings with it, just not the racing heart. I use xanax as a supplement for my anxiety. Not daily, but a tiny bit when needed always does the trick.

This medicine is amazing! And the side effects are actually not that bad with metoprolol tartrate. I am the type of person who is terrified of all meds, but after alot of careful research i decided to finally agree with my dr and give this one a try. In the first couple of weeks I had extra tiredness and dizzyness, but nothing bad. Also sometimes I have trouble sleeping at night, but this is usually when I have to take an extra half a pill. It does make your dreams more vivid, but not in a bad way. They just seem to be more real and easier to remember. (And if you happen to already dream like that, like I did, then it just makes it happen more often) All side effects went away after one to two weeks and only come back if I take more than usual or when the doc upped my dose. For those of you that are scared to take this med, believe me it was the best thing that ever happened for me. My heart rate stays in the normal range. My blood pressure is amazing. Usually around 110 over 70. My doc had me started out on lowest dose possible : HALF of a 25 mg pill twice a day. then later on after my body adjusted to that he had me gradually ease up to 25mg twice a day. and gave me the allowance to take an extra half on days that were really bad. this medicine has literally given me my life back.
