I started taking 50 mg of Metoprolol daily in February 2016. Back then I was a 68 year old male in good health except for high blood pressure. In March 2017 I began to develop the first signs of Peyronie�s disease. They were painful erections, curvature of erect penis and the presence of a structure inside the penis.

I started taking 50 mg of Metoprolol daily in February 2016. Back then I was a 68 year old male in good health except for high blood pressure. In March 2017 I began to develop the first signs of Peyronieâ��s disease. They were painful erections, curvature of erect penis and the presence of a structure inside the penis. The structure was plaque and I could feel it inside the soft penis. I went to three urologists. They all said I had Peyronieâ��s disease and to do nothing because it might go away. It slowly got worse up to the present time. I googled â��Peyronieâ
94;?�s and Metoprololâ� and came up with two scientific articles linking Peyronieâ��s to Metoprolol. I then examined the the WebMD data on Metoprolol and saw as one of the side effects of Metoprolol â��Peyronieâ
94;?�s disease�. I immediately stopped taking the drug. That was yesterday, October 12, 2018. I am hopeful that the Peyronie�s will disappear. I will report back here in three months.

There are too many other good options for lowering bp, than taking this poison.

Was put on this poison about 6 months ago to control high blood pressure and high anxiety. The very first night I took it, I thought I was dying...blurry vision, numbness, freezing, panic attack. Awful. After that it seemed to help for a few months...and then didn't. And then my hair started falling out. My doctor thought I was iron deficient, I was not iron deficient. Turns out it's this ...

Was put on this poison about 6 months ago to control high blood pressure and high anxiety. The very first night I took it, I thought I was dying...blurry vision, numbness, freezing, panic attack. Awful. After that it seemed to help for a few months...and then didn't. And then my hair started falling out. My doctor thought I was iron deficient, I was not iron deficient. Turns out it's this horrible medication. So now I have even MORE anxiety and have to fix all the other problems it's caused me. My doctor switched me to Amlodipine and Celexa, stopping the Metoprolol cold turkey (although I questioned it and was told it would be fine). Big mistake. Huge. Got to work and thought I was having a heart attack. Ended up in urgent care and then the ER. Now tapering off like I should have in the first place and it hasn't been pleasant. I can't wait until this poison is out of my system. I'm already noticing my hair isn't falling out like it was. I don't know if this works for other people but I will never go near it again. Beware.
