research
Anabel, My wife (Rebecca) and I are having a baby, due sometime in December, the doctors haven't made their minds up as yet, there has been quite a few complications. A contributing factor has been Bec's mytral Valve relapse, for which she has recently been prescribed metoprolol. We are somewhat concerned about any affects that may be transfered to the baby through the placenta and again during breast-feeding... Information on metoprolol is very limited at present. do you have any sources you may be able to pass on. Thanks

Nitroglycerin and systoms of overdose?
Hello,
Since this is my first post,I will try to make it short.I have read the data sheet that came with this medicine and it does talk about what happens if someone overdoses.But I am assuming they are talking about an accidental overdose of ,say,3-6 pills.But what does it do to you if someone ingested 50 or more at one time.No,it is not me.Of course everyone says that when they want to know what to expect.But it just happens to be the truth this time.I am a totally disabled Vietnam vet, with no issues bad enough for me to even think of doing something that crazy.Anyway, I have a very close friend, a Vietnam vet as well,that has some serious issues with his torn up body and no legs & with just one arm.The VA psychiatrists have been working with him almost from day one.They continue to fill him with a handful of pills everyday.I mean he has to take 24 every morning,14 at dinner,and 28 every night.But recently he has just completely given up on himself and told me he plans to take the nitroglycerin in the quantity I stated,maybe more.If I tell the VA or any civilian organization,he would disappear,forever.I have not read him the part about overdose on the data paper,yet.I am trying to scare him out of it by telling him the truth that if he did this, that this medicine would do all those things,not only for a longer period of time but worse,before they let you die.
So,any info that I can use would be greatly appreciated.Oh,the last time I ask this on another forum,last week,they somehow got my home address and sent the Sheriff out to my house,and since my friend lives in 'seeing' distance of me,it spooked him off to another location about 40 miles from me.He only let me know where he was yesterday.
Thank you.

momofboys-
I just started metoprolol 2 weeks ago and I'm having terrible fluid retention. Does anyone know if this is a normal side effect that will go away? I'm also taking Maxzide, but that doesn't seem to be countering the retention. I haven't had any muscle pain, but have gained 8 lbs in two weeks.
