A member asked:
Can metaprolol tartrate be used "as needed" for panic attacks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NOT TYPICALLY : Metoprolol is a beta block which is an anti hypertensive drug class. Beta blockers can help with performance anxiety. There are a lot better medications for panic attacks that can be taken as needed like the benzodiazepines xanax (alprazolam) or ativan. If the attacks are frequent would really want to be more preemptive with treatment and medications.
