Gene Health Metoprolol Succer 25 md 2per day 2014-11-27 Web MD Reviews: I came to Web MD Reviews because I suspected that I was suffering from side effects due to taking, by prescription of my heart surgeon, Metoprolol Succer, 25 mg 2 per day after formerly taking 12,5 mg per day for about 2 years. Several of these side effects have been bothering me for over a year or more without my realizing ...
Have not taken yet, doctor prescribed just yesterday.

Walgreens switched from Toprol XL 25 to Metroprolol succinate 25. Within 20 minutes of taking had headaches, heart palpitations and sweating. Took the remaining 29 pills back and requested Toprol XL 25. No problems since the switch. This generic needs reviewed further because there are adverse side effects that are not present with Toprol XL.

2 days after my pharmacy replaced Tropol for Metoprol Succinate (reason they gave me was the insurance decition) I was at work and I starting having strong heartbeats and I was feeling and looking so bad that the rescue had to assist me at work...i continue with the medication but yesterday I took the pill at 19 am 1/2 hour after i felt terrible and my bp went up to 168/110. This pill defenitly is not good at all. My doctor asked me to stop it inmediatly and today I have to see him. One of my co-workers told me that she is in tropol...when she tryed the Metoprorol Succinate started having arritmia and the doctor have to talk to her insurance to put her back in Tropol. So think about it before taking this medication...I don't want nobody to go thru this situacion. Read More Read Less

Walgreens switched my tropol for metoporol er...I don't know but it doesn't work the same. I think the ER should means eight release (hours) because the effect only last 8 hours on me. before the change i used to take half tablet of 25mg of tropol and I was doing good, now I'm taking the whole pill (25 mg) and i feel fatigue, tired...must be something wrong with this new metoporol...try not to switch....try to stay with the brand one.

This stuff was awful...I couldn't sleep at night and couldn't stay awake during the day. Didn't realize it was this drug until I did some research...weaned myself off and told Dr I am NOT taking it anymore. I have no idea whether there were heart related benefits. It was easy to take, but the side effects for me were unacceptable.
