I've recently been prescribed Metyrosine 250mg Capsules to manage pheochromocytoma, and I'm looking for any insights or experiences from others who have taken this medication. The side effects list is extensive and a bit worrying, especially the urgent ones. I’m curious to know how others have dealt with these potential side effects and if there are any tricks to managing them. I'm particularly concerned about the sleepiness and any long-term impacts on mood or movement. Are there any success stories or tips you can share? Thanks in advance!

Check out some support groups. I joined one on Facebook, and they have a lot of helpful info. Trust me, you're not alone in this.

You should watch your diet while taking this. I tried to eat a lot of fiber and drink plenty of water. Helped with the diarrhea.

Metyrosine saved me. I had serious issues with high blood pressure and kidney stones but honestly, it's worth it. Just make sure you stay hydrated and be patient with the sleepiness. It goes away!

I always felt like the worst part was the anxiety. I barely slept for two weeks. My doc wanted to put me on an antidepressant but I asked for her to adjust the dose.

Was this covered by insurance? I had to fight with mine to get it covered, so I've got a few 1-800 numbers for you
