I found this answer related to PVC's and Metoprolol at Yahoo Answers:
Metoprolol or Atenolol (both beta blockers) is usually the first medication prescribed for PVCs. Depending on your heart rate and blood pressure readings, people are started on anywhere from 12.5 mg (extremely low dose) to 50 mg, and can be titrated up to 100 to 200 mg a day. It can make you feel tired, and some cannot tolerate it because they feel crappy on it. Others do just fine on it with very few side effects. People that have frequent PVCs that find them very bothersome and cannot tolerate beta blockers can also try an anti-arrythmic medication called propafenone (Rhythmol). This is only prescribed in someone with no history of coronary disease and a structurally normal heart.
I did feel crappy working out and it also says people can go up to 200 mg! Time will tell!
