Hi lezlie,

There's really no logical reason as to why someone would abuse this drug. The onset of effects from Metoprolol aren't reported as being addictive. Furthermore, you can't get high off of it, and on the contrary, depression is one of the side effects of Metoprolol.

Additional information I found states that Metoprolol is a beta blocker, and these types of drugs do not cause addiction - "which means physical and psychological dependence on a substance that is beyond the user's control. But beta blockers, when used on a regular basis, can cause physical dependence."

"Physical dependence is when the body becomes accustomed to having a medication in the body, thus over time, more medication is required to achieve the same effect. It also means that if the medication is suddenly stopped, the person can experience a rebound in the symptom the medication was being used to treat.

Not all medications cause physical dependence. To develop physical dependence, the medication must be used on a chronic basis.

In the case of beta blockers, physical dependence is not usually an issue when they are used for stage fright, as they are used in low doses and are not taken on a chronic basis. When beta blockers are taken on a chronic basis, as for high blood pressure, suddenly stopping them can cause a severe, dangerous elevation in blood pressure that could lead to a stroke or heart attack.

Addiction causes the person who drinks alcohol, abuses a medication, or takes an illegal substance to exhibit substance-seeking behavior, perhaps even committing criminal acts to obtain it.

What makes this issue confusing is that alcohol, narcotics, cocaine, and amphetamines can cause both physical dependence and addiction, and usually both must be treated at the same time. Beta blockers do cause physical dependence when used on a chronic basis, but it would be highly unusual for them to cause addiction."

Do you know someone who's been abusing this medication?
