"I have been taking Toprol XL for about 2 years. My doctor has now put me on 200mg twice a day, total 400mg a day, this had to be approve by my insurance company and it was. This is working for me, no side effects and my blood pressure is steady at 114/70."

"My husband has been on Toprol XL for over a year. Started on 100mg for very high BP. Also on Atacand 4mg for mild left heart Failure. Now reduced to 50 mg alternate days. Side effects, Severe Peyronie's disease and loss of libido. Fullness in stomach and loss of appetite. Various aches and pains, swelling in hands and others random areas. Seems to get a rebound effect of breathlessness or its just a side effect. BP is good in low 120/65. May try cutting in half to 25mg a day. Dr prescribed a different Beta Blocker that has worse side effects so he hasn't filled that out. Also its only available as Generic which from his experience with Metaprolol it was worse. He gets the brand Drugs through Canada."

"I have been on the brand name Toprol-XL 200mg for 20 years. High blood pressure runs in the family. My body definitely needs it daily. I tried naturally to lower blood pressure, but it didn't work. I pay the extra for the brand name. I tried and researched the generic, but there is no way I will take the generic. The generic brand gives me heart palpitations, it is a dangerous drug. I take magnesium glycinate with it at night and it works great. I recommend the brand name only, along with magnesium glycinate."

"I'm on 400 mg a day. I have vision problems. There's a black half moon shape in 1 eye, sometimes bright colors, I have nausea and fatigue every day, and depression. I can't stop, as its for a previous aortic aneurysm. Just feel miserable and like I've got the flu every day."
