This is the only medication I can handle for my high blood pressure. All the other drugs my doctors tried for me caused way too many awful side effects. I can't take the generic as it causes me to have chest congestion.

This med has been very effective keeping my BP in check, however, more recently I have also been taking amiodarone for an afib condition. I remained on the same dose of Toprol XL, 100mg, and now I am concerned that I have occasional low BP conditions that are causing dizziness. I will be discussing a lower dose with my doctor at the next visit.

Almost as soon as I started taking this medicine, I experienced horrible joint pain. My doctor said I must have picked up a bug but I knew it was the medicine. I felt fine until I took the first dose. I also had extreme dizziness to the point I couldn't get out of bed and missed 2 days of work. My doctor advised me to stop taking it and then 4 days later, start cutting the pills in half and taking half the dose. I was only taking 25 mg. It took 4 days before I started to feel better and I told my doctor that I refused to take it anymore. Thank goodness I only took a low dose for a short period of time. After reading some of the other reviews, there is definitely a connection to joint pain. I was taking it for high blood pressure and there are so many other options out there. Beware this drug!
