| 1 | High Blood Pressure | First I was taking 100 mg. twice a day when a doc to me to stop it. Ended up in the hospital with palpitations, speeding heart rate, very high blood pressure and anxiety. Doc says oh i wouldn't have told you to stop it if I knew you had a heart problem. Hmm well I don't I told him it's the drug. Had to look it up on the internet to find out what was wrong with me and had to go back on it to stop the withdrawal symptoms. I am now on 100 mg. 1 time a day. Not one doc will get me off this shit. Been to three asking for help.Right after I started taking it I got dizzy all the time and was sent to a neurologist who said I was having migraines without the pain, quack. Put me on another drug. Watch out docs will put you on more drugs because of the side effects of Toprol. Then it just gets worse. You can't convince them that it's the Toprol that's causing it. I am dizzy all the time. Foggy, insomnia, tingling in hands and feet. constant ringing in the ears. Worst of all I ha | Do not let a doctor put you on this medication. The side effects are horrible. The benefit does not outweigh the risks. | F | 51 | 9 years 100 mg 1X D | 5/15/2011 | |
