Metoprolol Withdrawal (Page 71) (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.

So the goal is to take the tincture for 6 weeks, along with the supplents, then wean off that and see what thyroid is going to do. Unbelievable that this "medicine" has done this to all of us.

My reply about the compound was yes, that's the right one by herb pharm. You can get 4 oz larger size for much less per unit from ebay. Don't make my mistake and take too little. May make you a bit drowsy, but VERY different form wonky weirdo head fog.

Have some labs to go do tomorrow for to check blood flow to kidneys. And also have blood work to check for hyperthyroidism. But i have had bad anxiety which makes my chest and back hurt. But i think its because i quit taking l theanine . I want to clear up on its own if possible

JR make sure you get complete thyroid panel as well as T4 T3 and free level tests. Still may show nothing since it's only a quick snapshot.
Will be interested to see how the tincture helps you.

Was that about 30 drops Sandra? 20 makes me pretty sleepy, I take a larger dose of 30 before bed when it doesn't matter. 15 seems to be about all I can tolerate for daytime use. I take it every 8 hrs.

Hoping I develop better tolerance as I take it, I have 5.5 weeks left before weaning off of it to see what happens....

I think it was more like 20. I am getting heavy chest and slight more dizziness than usual and heavy head. Didnt feel that way before taking it. Good grief...dont tell me I cant tolerate this either!
