Metoprolol review by 53 year old female patient

  Rating
Overall rating:  
Effectiveness:   Highly Effective
Side effects:   Mild Side Effects
  
Treatment Info
Condition / reason:   tachycardia
Dosage & duration:   50mg taken once per day for the period of on-going since 2006
Other conditions:   none
Other drugs taken:   none
  
Reported Results
Benefits:   I have very few racing heart episodes since I have been on this medication.
Side effects:   The side effect has been a slight decrease in my metabolism. I gained 5 pounds within 3 weeks of starting the medication. But, the benefit greatly outweighs this minor side effect. A purposeful increase in daily exercise has helped to prevent further weight gain.
Comments:   I take one 50 mg pill once per day with food or milk.
