User Reviews for Toprol XL oral

This is a Pretty okay drug for High Blood Pressure!I do have to take Sotalol as well for my Tachycardia.Plus I have no problems with side effects or anything.

keep me awake

developed severe joint and muscle ache can't trace it to anything else.

had trouble breathing.

After an episode of atrial fibrillation my Dr. changed my medication from Tenormin, which I had been taking for 35 years to Toprol. I have been taking Toprol for 3 years now and have had only one side effect - fullness around my middle. Heart rate is 42-55 but do not feel fatigued.

lower stomach pains

I have been on this drug for 15 years. I was on Toprol XL first, and then went on the generic metoprolol 50mg. I am really surprised to hear about the "weight gain" complaints, because my weight has stayed the same, the whole time. Another complaint was "sluggishness" I am tired for about 2 hours after taking this drug, and then it passes, and I am 100% ok. I also take Yoga classes 3 times a week, and do some treadmill. I am on this medication because of Mitral valve problems, and I have been very satisfied with the drug.Read More Read Less

This med has brought my BP down but I have been to the doc several times for a severe itch, all over my body. I cant sleep for it. Will most likely discontinue use.

Living normally.

Use this drug to control SVT. I'm younger and smaller than most patients, but am on a very high dose (125mg daily). Although it does work well controlling my rhythms, it makes me SO tired that I can barely make it through work and school. Unfortunately I have been on most other meds that can control rhythm problems and this is the only one that works. Side effects of severe tiredness and mental fog are horrible. I've been taking it since I was 16 and am now 23.

This medication should be taken off the market. At least the generic version. From day one on 25 mg I experienced dizziness and foggy head. I stuck with it thinking effects would disappear. As weeks passed I was constantly itchy, fatigued and I would wake up with such awfull joint pain and heavy legs. I would have to take Motrin to survive the day. I walked around like a zombie all day and could not concentrate at work. I was so tired could barely exercise. I was gaining weight rapidly epecially in the middle and my legs and feet swollen always. Then I started noticing the lack of sexual desire and I was totally unable to reach orgasm. At this point I decided I would taper myself off it slowly an monitor my bp. I have been exercising and eating well, taking natural supplements for bp. My doctor would not support my decision, which further increased my lack of confidence in out medical system. After about 2 months off this poison I'm finally feeling like myself again. On about day 3 I was going to the bathroom frequently and releasing a lot of fluid retention. Please ask your doctor for an alternative. This is pure poison and will severely decrease your quality of life. At 48 I was feelin more like 85.Read More Read Less

Excellent but medicare like to substitute for metropolol that is bad for me.

Have been on 50mg at night for a little over a year. Also take Lisinipril for high bp. Bp goes down to 95/58 at times. Have the weird vivid dreams, sob (but I also have emphysema so didn't really notice), always sleepy (need a nap after sleeping 10 hours at night). Need to discuss discontinuing drug with doctor.

I have had chronic back pain my entire life. Starting in 2008 I have had 4 spinal fusion surgeries and one neurostimulator implant plus a heart attack. It has been three years since my heart attack and for the first 34 months after the heart attack I would end up going to the hospital at least once a month because I felt like I was having a heart attack. And two months ago my cardiologist started me on 1/2 of a 25 mg tablet per day and all my chest pain and fake heart attacks stopped. It is like it was before my heart attack. This is a great medicine. I tried to take nitrates before but I had very severe headaches so I couldn't take them. This has no side effects and it works great.Read More Read Less

I take 100mg each day & it does work very well. If I miss a dose I will start to get a headache. It has helped me very much. No side effects.

I had a minithoracotomy on 5/8/2012 (Cnaton, Ohio at the Aultman Hospital) for an enlarged heart. Was on 200mg of Metoprolol Succinate per day. After surgery 25mg. I did gain some weight but can now exercise. 2hrs Mon-Thurs and 1hr Sat-Sun. The only side effects I have are oily face (not sure that's so bad) and feeling fatigued (not so much now that I am working out.) Oh and my hands falls asleep while lying down. I LOVE LIFE!

I have been taking this drug for two plus weeks and my joints and muscles are so painful that I can hardly walk. I am also feeling very tired if I try to do any continuous walking. This medication is not one that I would ever use again.
