Metoprolol Withdrawal (Page 72) (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.

Jeannie, if you are going to go off M and have already had thyroid issues, be VERY aware they may crop up again. Read thru this board and be very prepared. Very very SLOW is the ticket. That's a LONG time for an outside agent (Metoprolol ) to be controlling your system, and it's going to take a long time for your system to reboot itself. The thyroid especially is going to be a real challenge, as it controls what the M has been controlling. History of Hyperthyroidism is a real red flag for withdrawal issues.

Gosh I feel ya JR. Doing better in last few days, after 2 weeks of crap days. Tincture really has settled a lot of symptoms, but it makes me drowsy which is annoying. A fine line between control and drowsy :/

I have been working full time during all this and honestly I'm not sure how. It's been HORRIBLE. The tincture has made all the difference as far as managing the symptoms. Today has NOT been good. Wonky headed.
