I had no idea my doctor switched me to this drug. I have had horrible headaches from months on this drug. They are now switching me to something else.

Started taking a couple months ago for HBP but it seemed that my blood pressure increased for awhile. I also have swollen ankles, feet and hands, always tired, weight gain and all around fatigue. I take 100 mg a day and 5 mg Norvasc. I have an appointment to see if these are side effects or not.

I was on atenolol for 10 plus years. loved it but now there is a shortage of it. Doctor switched me to 100 mg of the generic of toporol. Horrible drug I had extremely high blood pressure, brain fog and lightheadness. After a visit to ER got switched to another beta blocker and back to my self!

My doctor prescribed metoprolol 50mg for high blood pressure. I took it the first time in the evening because I had heard that it caused dizziness in a lot of people. However, it did not make me dizzy at all. By the evening of the next day I began to feel bloating in my rib cage like I was just very full.

My doctor prescribed metoprolol 50mg for high blood pressure. I took it the first time in the evening because I had heard that it caused dizziness in a lot of people. However, it did not make me dizzy at all. By the evening of the next day I began to feel bloating in my rib cage like I was just very full. The second day I felt even worse and by the third day after taking 4 doses I was so miserable I could not eat or sleep. It was like I had gorged myself and could not burp or belch and just kept getting worse. I called my doctor and he pulled me off of it and is going to put me on something else. Within 48 hours the bloating went away completely.

After starting I starting getting a roar in ears that was life disturbing. 4 different MD'S said it couldn't be the Toprol. Finally found a MD to try another med Cartia the roaring stopped within 4 days.
