Wish I'd never taken this awful drug
Took metoprolol for hypertension for about two months with ALL of the most negative side effects. Finally made it clear to my docs that I needed to STOP. Tapered slowly for a few weeks: 50 mg to 25 mg to 12.5 mg to skipping every other day and now it's been one week metoprolol -free.
Some anxiety, intermittent lightheadedness, little bit of occasional heartburn, and occasional fatigue but MUCH LESS than I had before. I'm told that it may take another couple of weeks to be free of these withdrawal symptoms.
I just want to thank you guys for being there! I'm so SICK of doctors telling me I'm imagining things when I KNOW I'm not!
