Metoprolol Withdrawal (Page 25) (Top voted first)

i've been taking metoprolol for several years as partial treatment for high blood pressure. through diet and exercise, i've lowered my BP to the point my doctor says drop the metoprolol.

i did, 3 days ago, and i'm soooo tired, dizzy, irritable, and my vision is blurred.

is this withdrawal? how long will it last?

i remember starting this medication was terrible to get used to. it appears that stopping it is just as bad.

JR, try 500-1500 mg l-tryptophan at night. Huge help with anxiety and mood. Most find it is better at night, about 20% find they need to take in am. It makes seratonin, instead of zoloft which makes your body just keep re using what little seratonin you have, till you are burned out.

Hi Lauren:

Months ago, when I was still weaning, I would post more often, and sometimes my comments would post right away, and sometimes they were delayed. I never saw a pattern as to why.

The one thing I DID notice today was a a lot of ringing in my ears. It was loud enough to hear over tv and dogs carrying on and playing, so very noticeable. It seems to have subsided now. Very curious, said Alice.

I actually had a decent day until all of a sudden my blood pressure went up to 170/100 for like 10 minutes . I think it may have bee. Due to stress and bad eating this past 3 days . But now i am at 125/83

I'm gonna try that L-thianine. I know this sounds weird but I can't take the vit c that often cause it sets me off. Don't get it hmmmm. Gonna keep on trying different things. The end of this month will be 4 months for me. I woke up from a nap today with my heart pounding so I just stayed still with my eyes closed and smiled and for some reason it calmed down. I think the smile sent a message to my body that all was okay. I'll keep trying this Lololo I know, I know sounds crazy but I know you guys get it. I am as sane as they come and this I do know for sure. Thanks peeps!

I'm really happy that your be came down in 10 min. Jr. My doc had told me awhile back that it's normal for Our bp to rise when under stress but that it should come back down so yay for your bp for turning around!

I have a question that I am almost scared to ask. Going through this withdrawal did any of you feel as if it is a struggle to get motivated to do anything, even the simplest of things like talking to friends? It just seems that until that "fog" starts to lift I don't want to talk to anyone or be social. Which is odd because I am always a social person.I hope I am not the only this has/is happening to. Hope it is a better day for all.

The other day I had that in my left temple but it wasn't severe. It drove me bonkers. I think these weird aches and pains have to do with the neuro part of he whole mess. I hope it feels better soon.
