For High Blood Pressure "I was on Toprol-XL and experienced many of the 41 side effects listed on the website but not included with the warning label. I experienced nausea, diarrhea, heartburn, dry mouth, drowsiness, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, lightheadedness, cold feet & hands, shortness of breath, wheezing, fluttering heartbeat, shortness of breath with mild exertion, dizziness, loss of appetite. I went to the doctor and ER several times fearing a heart attack but was found to be in good health. No one knew what was wrong until I researched and found all my symptoms under this medication. I stopped 2 days ago and blood pressure is now normal and most symptoms have gone away and improving. It takes about 7 days to feel normal per the website. I will NEVER take this medication again. Be careful, the side effects mimic other potential health issues. See your doctor and seriously look up side effects of Toprol-XL. A very nasty medication!"

For High Blood Pressure "This is a good beta blocker. It is time-released. I have a fast heart rate and high BP. Toprol-XL, when you take it, slowly releases the medication over a 20-hour period. It really controlled my BP and heart rate, and I don't feel dizzy or tired. I take the 100 mg."

For High Blood Pressure "Heart was missing a beat while working out. Saw my doctor, and after an EKG and a slightly elevated blood pressure, was put on 25 mg, which went to 100 mg over a period of 3 years. Kept blood pressure at home and was fine. Every time at the doctor's, it was like 150/90, never understood this. Last time, was placed on Lisinopril, this kicked my butt: dizziness, ear ringing, dry cough. Said heck with it and found a cardiologist. He took me off the ACE inhibitor and put me on Norvasc 10 mg, will see how it works."

For High Blood Pressure "Taken for 4 yrs on a low dose of 25 mg. It helps, but my heart rate stays low, and after taking it, I feel dizzy and short of breath. My bp was borderline high, and my Dr prescribed it at 100 mg daily, which was unbelievable. It doesn't take much if you're young and relatively healthy."
