What side effects did you experience being on metoprolol(lopressor)?
537442
i felt the same way when i was on atenolol (very similar drug, both are beta blockers). you can feel cold, dizzy, and tired because it reduces the amount of blood your heart pumps. your body adjusts some to the side effects after a couple weeks. if you skip a dose or stop taking the medication suddenly, your heart can race, because your body adjusts to having the metoprolol in your system. when the metoprolol is no longer there, your heart rate and blood pressure increase. cutting the tablets into quarters and taking one in the morning and one at night may help, but ask your cardiologist before you do it. also, i know theyre little guys so cutting them into quarters might not work well.\n\nanyway, if you really dont like beta blockers you could see if he'll switch you to another drug like an ace inhibitor. dont just suddenly stop taking it or your problems can get worse. i didnt stay on atenolol very long bc i got too tired when i went jogging or swimming

Metoprolol is a "beta blocker" which blocks the actions of certain hormones.  It tends to slow down the heart rate and relax blood vessels and so is generally used to treat high blood pressure, irregular heart beats, or to prevent heart attacks but it has other uses also.\n\nYou should call your doctor's office.  Dizziness could be a sign that you are having unwanted side effects, or that it may be working "too well".  It may pass with time, but you should definitely let your doctor know.  They are the one that knows your condition best.

Why are you on antidepressants anyway?  Could be irritable bowel syndrome.  If you are stressed/depressed you get a whole range of symptoms anyway because of how you're feeling.  I would love to talk to you more about this in detail if you want to email.  I was on citalopram.  I would guess that if you had side affects you would have more likely diarrhoea not cramps but always best to ask the Doctor.  Read the leaflets that come with the pills I always do.

I've taken Zoloft before and the 2 main side effect I've experienced are urinary incontinency and nightmares. Hallucinations are possible depending on how long a person has been taking the drug. Go to Web MD and see if you can find out. It's a good web site.

PLEASE talk to your doctor ASAP or contact the hospital, for advice, while it maybe normal to feel a little weird when starting a new medication, it is not normal to feel faint, tingly, heavy chested and wanting to  or falling into a deep sleep.\n\n\nAtenolol may cause side effects.

I eventually passed out, (no one could wake me, and I was barely breathing) in the middle of my 40th birthday party (not one drop of alcohol, passed my lips). But I seriously did not think it was all that serious until, I spoke to my doctor the next day. \n\nSo do speak to some one sooner rather than later.

You are definitely right to look into Lupron's side effects.  If we were to believe the docs and Takeda Abbott Pharmaceutical's prescribing literature, we'd all think Lupron was the greatest thing since sliced bread.  It's not.\n\nSide effects are potentially extremely negative and long-lasting, and include (as reported by the manufacturer itself):\n\nIncluding but not limited to - Asthenia, General pain, Headache, Hot flashes/sweats, Nausea/vomiting, GI disturbances, Edema, Weight gain/loss, Acne, Hirsutism, Joint disorder, Myalgia, Decreased libido, Depression/emotional lability, Dizziness, Nervousness, Neuromuscular disorders, Paresthesias, Skin reactions at injection site, Breast changes/tenderness/pain, Vaginitis, Flu-like symptoms, Heart palpitations, Syncope, Tachycardia, Appetite changes, Dry mouth, Thirst, Ecchymosis, Lymphadenopathy, Anxiety, Insomnia/Sleep disorders, Delusions, Memory disorder, Personality\ndisorders, Rhinitis, Alopecia, Hair disorder, Nail\ndisorder, Conjunctivitis, Ophthalmologic disorders, Taste perversion, and Dysuria. \n\nTypically, users of Lupron experience what is known as Clinical Flare, which is an exacerbation of side effects and symptoms during the first 2 injections or so; after about the 3rd injection, the symptoms for which you are using the drug (i.e., Endometriosis) may begin to temporarily decrease.\n\nHopefully, because of the way in which you are taking it and the reason for which you are taking it (which is off-label usage, not that it's that big of a deal), you will be one of the lucky ones who only experiences minimal side effects for a short time and in whom the drug is effective and has no negative effects. Good luck to you.
