"It took a long time for my body to get used to the metoprolol. Probably several months before I was symptom-free. However, now it has helped a lot with the tachycardia. Because my heart is slower now, only slight tachy, it can feel really uncomfortable though, as my heart is not used to it anymore. Overall, a big help to my life."

"After my doctor increased my metoprolol to 100 mg twice a day, I had massive hair loss and hallucinations. I can't take cardiac calcium blockers. Severe reactions. I had several severe SVTs. The last one was so severe, I almost passed out. I took 75 mg and began to come back to normal. I was first unable to drive myself to the ER. I have been under incredible stress in an extremely illegal foreclosure by Bank of America preceding, pro se for 9 years after my lawyer was disbarred for taking bribes from mortgage servicers. Corrupt judges taking bribes to rule against well-established state law. Now in the appellate court."

"I’ve only been on this for 3 days, and I feel like a zombie. The brain fog is horrible, I can’t think straight, and thankfully I work from home or I’d be screwed. I can’t process things, it feels like my brain is just gone. But hey, at least my heart rate is down? This also gives me terrible dizziness about an hour after taking it. I feel like I’m spinning and losing balance. I had a very weird episode of palpitations last night as well, like rolling electric shocks in my chest. Not sure I’ll continue to take this, but I also can’t stand the tachycardia that it was prescribed for."
