Suggest Treatment For Insomnia While On Metoprolol Succinate ER
should i keep taking metoporol succinate. I had triple bypass one month ago, and before for several years took metoporol tartrate. But I am an insomniac and am having worse insomnia than ever. I even take ambien but wake up in just a few hours even though it is extended release. Any suggestions??

Hello,
It is not related to metoprolol. As of now, you can consider drugs like Zolpidem (Zolefresh) is a popular brand for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety.
Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit. Avoid coffee and carbonated drinks for a while.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
