Reviews for metoprolol systemic to treat Atrial Fibrillation

Metoprolol Succinate ER (metoprolol): This medicine works very well to keep the heart in rhythm, and the rate 65 to 90 (better than 160 when in A Fib 44 hours). Only drawback is that I can be very forgetful about routine tasks such as remembering to carry glass of water to the table.

metoprolol: I WAS PUT ON TOPROL XL 10 YEARS AGO BY A CARDIOLOGIST. THE ECG SHOWED ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAD. THE DOCTOR ORDERED TOPROL XL 25 MG. WITHIN 10 MINUTES AFTER TAKING IT, MY CONDITION HAD STOPPED, THE HEART WAS BEATING NORMALLY.

Toprol-XL (metoprolol): I have atrial fibrillation - beats to 180 very irregular beat, converted in 45 minutes in ER. Started me on Toprol 25 once a day. Heart rate now around 60-70, blood PSI 120/70 side effects so far include problems sleeping, restlessness also drowsy on and off. Only been taking this drug for a week now, perhaps the side effects will reduce in time.
