| 5 | Tachycardia | None | I have been taking TXL for the past 60 days. It has lowered my heart beat from 85-110 to a range of 67-80. My BP is normal. TXL is the only medication I take. It has very much calmed me down since Tachycardia immerged after two weeks in opiates detox from a leading migraine medication, Phrenellin with Codeine. | M | 60 days | 2/21/2005 | 5 | Heart Palpatations, High B/P, aryth | 1X day | 8/29/2014 | 4 | | 4/5/2007 | 4 | High Blood Pressure | | 4/5/2006 | 4 | | 11/19/2006 | 4 | | 11/19/2006 | 3 | high blood pressure | My blood pressure is lower using 200 mg per day, but at that level I am experiencing erectile dysfunction. 100 mg did not cause the same side effects and did not lower my bp. | M | 2 months | 11/22/2004 | 3 | | 5/12/2004 | 3 | heart problems | My 75 yr old father in law has been taking 100 mg of Toprol for 3 years now. He went from being a fun loving man that LOVED to play golf( they live on a golf course)to a lethargic angry forgetfull man. He seems to be lost in his own world, unenergetic,depressed and always complains of muscle pains and dizziness. Toprol has seemed to help with the rhythm of his heart but at a cost of having his natural life sucked out of him in the process.We have all tried talking him into seeing his doctor about the mood changes,fatigue and memory loss and he is refusing, says he just wants to die and get it over with. I'm very very worried. | Looking back at the ratings on this page I am seeing that alot of people over the age of 60 taking this medication are complaining of the short term memory loss. I'm surprised the physicians haven't caught onto this yet. | F | | 6/7/2005 | 2 | rapid heart rate, dysautonomia | I have been taking 1 year, not 1 day!!!! | 1 years | 4/27/2007 | 2 | | 1/10/2006 | 2 | enlarged heart, mvp | floating, out-of body-feeling, 24/7 dizziness, cold extremeties, chest pain, throat swollen on right side, laboured breathing, confusion | For four years I was happily on metoptolol generic succinate (made by Sandoz, first 100mg, then two years ago reduced to 25mg). All fine until last November, when I was given a different metoprolol generic, made by Par. Sore, pulsating throat and palpitations started within 3 days, and ten days later came the dizziness and cold extremeties and breathing problems. Went to brand-name Toprol XL and then Lopressor, no relief. After 3 months of hell have stopped it now completely, ben off for three days. But the side effects are still there. Anyone know how long it takes for this drug to leave your system? | M | 4 years | 2/13/2009 | 1 | HBP | Med doesn't control bloodpressure can't sleep but 2 hrs. each night, counld'nt breath, weak and lethargic feeling, can.t remember anything that my wife and I discuss, eyes weaking, foggy brain, can't find the right words to say. | I have had HP since i was 25yrs. old Family history and smoker overall bad lifestyle. 1st on vasotec hctz atenolol worked fine. June 2007 internist put me on toprol 50mg avilide and norvsc. After a week raised toprol to 100mg. The drugs are ruining my life. I'm self employed amd can't work. as of today I'm back to my original meds' Glad I didn't through them away Be very careful on toprol/get all info from Dr. | M | 45 days | 7/27/2007 | 1 | | 7/31/2007 | 1 | Dr. put me on Coumadin and 25mg of toprol XL I havent't been the same since memory problems neck pain dizziness on and on. I first though it was the coumadin I Stopped taking it three days ago. I will see. | | 7/14/2009 | 1 | lower heart rate and arrythmias | Unstable blood pressure; did not control systolic pressure; blood pressure spikes up to 200/100; short-term memory loss; confusion; irritability; hallucinations; difficulty communicating | I am on 25 mg. and have divided the tablet in half which seems to help a bit with the side effects. Extremely predictable time frame for side effects. Sometimes if I lie down, I can also limit the effects. I also have no tolerance for activity. Doctors have thus far been reluctant to see the correlation between the medicine and the side effects. I would encourage you to report side effects to the FDA. There is a form on the FDA site. I am concerned that I may end up with permanent damage. | M | 4 months | 7/31/2008 | 1 | Blood pressure | This is a bad drug made so sick end up in the hospital faint numb in left arm | Bad drug will never take | M | 10 days 25 | 4/9/2015 | 5 | nnnn | jmnnn | jjjj | F | 7 | 7 days | 10/11/2005 | 5 | llll | llllllllllllll | ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; | F | 15 | 2 days | 10/5/2005 | 3 | High BP | Tiredness, Dizziness, occasional heart palpitations, depression | It does lower my BP effectivly, but I hate the side effects. | F | 15 | 3 months | 3/4/2006 |
TOPROL XL (METOPROLOL SUCCINATE): This medication is a beta-blocker used to treat chest pain (angina), heart failure, and high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This drug works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body (such as epinephrine) that affect the heart and blood vessels. This lowers heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. FDA Approval Date: 1992-01-10 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
