I took my metoprolol 100mg at 8am and forgot that I took it and subsequently took it again at 9:15pm. Is this dangerous? I also take lisinopril 25mg. ## Generally, doing so just once is not dangerous, according to FDA instructions, but it is always best to check with your doctor to be sure. They do, however, warn that you may experience more severe side effects than usual, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. How are you doing? Did you experience any adverse effects?

I never had side effects until they switched manufacturers. Now I have severe bloating. Was wonder if anyone else experienced this? ## That can sometimes be a side effect of this medication, according to NIH reports. It can also cause nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination. However, since this symptom does have the potential to cause congestive heart failure, so it would be best to consult your doctor. You may need to take a medication to reduce the fluid and keep you out of danger. Are you on any other medications?

I was wondering if it's ok to take five 50 mg of metoprolol succinate er to get 250mg?

The FDA warns that this medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and orthostatic hypotension. Are you on any other medications? Why do you want to raise your dosage?

Metoprolol succ er 50 mg. I am prone to severe rashes & hives from several medications. I am reluctant to start this new Med for hypertension because rashes & hives are frightful. What is likelihood of a similar reaction? If yes, what can I do ? Will it diminish after time if I continue to take it? ## If such reactions are due to an allergy, they tend to get worse with repeated exposure, so you should consult a doctor, if they manifest, according to NIH reports. Have you had any swelling, or trouble breathing? Those can also be symptoms of an allergic reaction. Have you tried taking this mediation, yet? What other medications do you currently take?

oblong tablet, G282 imprint on back, scored on front to break in half ## I could not find anything with that marking in the US prescription drug database listings, however, Metoprolol is the generic for Lopressor or Toprol, the ER stands for extended release. This is used to lower blood pressure and reduce the work load on your heart. ## I got the generic equivalent to Toprol XL 50 mg tablet used for high blood pressure treatment. I wanted to double check prior to taking the medication. My METOPROLOL ER 50 MG tablets also are an oblong tablet, G282 imprint on back, scored on front to break in half. Although the G was hard to read because of the triangular shape of the letter G. I just refilled the same perscription again. The new pills are more like Toprol XL. They are round with the co...

Can you please suggest alternative medication to Metoprolol Succinate ER + Amlodipine 50/5 mg [taken for High Blood Pressure] that does not cause erectile dysfunction? ## All medications that are used to treat hypertension and cardiac conditions risk causing erectile dysfunction as a side effect, it's just due to the nature of how they work on the cardiovascular system. So, unfortunately, there isn't any particular drug that can be recommended. What you really have to do is work with your doctor to find what works for you, while causing the least amount of problematic side effects. I understand that it's very frustrating, I am very sensitive to medications myself and it took months before we found some medications that worked for me, without making me miserable. Here's a...

Has anyone experienced nightly nightmares that seriously disturb sleep while taking this medication. ## ABSOLUTELY.... I started having bizarre dreams as soon as I started to take it. I then progressed to very vivid nightmares and now I do not want to sleep because of it. Not the wonder drug they say it is. I want off it and as soon as I can convince my doctor, I am getting as far away from it as I can. It also has caused me to gain over 30 pounds and I am far from a couch potato. ## I have insomnia a lot. Nightmares almost every night. and they make me miserable. They seem to go on and on. Headaches during the day. I was a person who never had headaches and was a very sound sleeper. I always joked that you could take the bed out from under me and I wouldn't know it. Not any more! #...

I'm a 62 year old female. I accidentally took an overdose of my medicine. Should I be alright or seek professional help? ## Hello, Mildred! How are you? What are you describing as an overdose? Did you double your dose, triple your dose, or etc.? Did you experience any adverse effects. The FDA does warn that an overdose has the potential to be fatal and could cause lowered heart rate, lowered blood pressure and lowered rate of breathing.
