how long does it take for toprol xl to work

FEEL LIKE I WANT JUMP OUT OF MY SKIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 4 WEEKS. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG THIS LASTS? DOES ANYONE KNOW IF GABA HELPS? PLEASE HELP....I AM SOOO DESPERATE FOR HELP AND MY DOCTOR IS OF NO HELP OTHER THEN TO GIVE ME XANAX. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/253654'>Toprol withdrawal</a>.

When I was first put on it, I was monitored in the hospital for 3 days. I had no reaction to it. Yes, it did make me tired, but I got use to it. Good Luck! Wishing you well, and wishing you enough...

other than rapid heartbeat (thats what i take it for) i didnt have any issues. i dont want to be on it to begin with, haha but my doc almost murdered me for being off it without telling him.

If he does not agree, get an other doctor who will. The point is do not take chances to do it on your own, you have a right not to be on those pills, but without a good doctor it can be a hazard.

I take the toprol xl and I use the generic and it cost me roughly $20 and I take 125mg twice a day. but you must make sure it is the generic for toprol xl because there is metoprolol succinate which is the generic for toprol xl and metoprolol tartrate which is the generic for lopressor. They both work in two different ways so they can not be interchanged at the same dose. I asked this question before toprol xl became a generic.

My pharmacacy switched my "Toprol XL 50 mg" to a Generic one called "Metoprolol Succinate ER 50 mg" (manufactured by Sandoz) in December 2007. I have been on some form of Beta Blockers for years and I thought nothing of it. Within a week I was at my eye doctor because my left eye went from 20/20 to 20/60 and was so blurry that I felt like I had suntan lotion or something in it. Since then I have been to so many doctors because things just kept getting worse.

what is the best way to wean off ,of toprol xl beta blocker medication. iv been on it for 2yrs now and I dont like its effects at all. been to 2 doctors and they refused to take me off it ? or change it to another medication. I was put on this med for palpitations that come and go. and high blood pressure that wont drop down easy at times! my ekg tests over the years have been normal and had stress tests done , again normal ? why then toprol xl ??

Hi guys, Last night was a very bad night with pvc's for me. They felt nonstop for hours. I was worried I wouldn't make it throught the night. This is all new to me and I am trying my best to deal with it. How do you just ignore it? How do you know if the pvc's are becoming dangerous?

I have mentioned this a few times on this forum. I am in the position of having (at one time) hundreds, if not thousands, of missed beats a day - down to a few now (can't advise how to stop them, it just happened). It is impossible just to ignore them, but I found it helped to work on the anxiety they produce.

Sorry, my question was will this have any lasting effects on my heart or body and when can I expect that I will be back to normal? For instance, how long does it take to get out of my system? I'll be going back to the Doctors that treated me and have them re-run the blood work, etc. I'm really surprised you have not heard of this before, could you perhaps look it up?

Toprol XL is a slow release medication designed to deliver dose over 24 hour time period and it takes a week or so for the blood level to stabilize to achieve effect. It shouldn't make any difference when you take it as long as it is the same time each day. Have you discussed this problem with your doctor..perhaps a lower dosage or try another beta blocker. I take 100 mg/day and don't notice any side effects, but drug response is variable.

5 years - the high dose is 200mg top end. for toprol xl - dont know how anyone can take it at that dose ! Doctors give a beta blocker for palpatations in most cases. however some give ccb's like verapamil as they too can control palps. I myself am doing a study on palpaitions - causes and how to control them. and or stop them totaly! with or without medications. I think it would be wise, if your b.

After wearing a halter monitor for 24hours and now knowing my heart rate rises to 140 in my sleep and when sitting and also I had an echocardiogram and it came back normal which is good so I know my heart is ok and this is due to my anxiety . I was given Toprol XL 25 mg to take but I am afraid to take it. I know its my anxiety talking but is it safe to take when it is for anxiety and to steady my heart rate?Also how does it make you feel?

HTN, chest pain ect.

as I came down with depression and anxiety and pannic attacks ,after I was on the stuff then was treated for it.. with other meds ! its a ban aid to mask the side effects of toprol xl .. best to get off the junk ! try something diffrent ..

I_mort I take toprol XL to lower my heart rate and BP. It does affect your erectile function. I'm 45 and I started at 1/2 dose the doc told me which was 12.5 mg at night. Because I wasn't getting the effect I needed I uped it to 25 mg at night. I'm not totally dysfunctional but have noticed a definite decrease in that department. I suspect it can affect some of us that way.

Mine is a CCB, yours is a BB. Either way it takes time for the med to get going in the body and for you to feel somewhat normal again. You said you started it last weekend. Unless you're having a horrible reaction that keeps you from functioning, the doctor will probably want you to hang in there for awhile longer. But it doesn't hurt to ask. No, don't split long acting meds. They usually come in a special capsule like mine or have a special coating so they release more slowly.

Yes you can find online a few web sites , that will tell you this ! look under side effects of toprol xl - you can find it by reading (problems with toprol xl) it should come up ! a long while ago (years) bbc news reported the u.k medical asso , had found beta blockers caused cholesterol to build up in most people who took it. so they limited the use of beta blockers - they also reported that due to adverse side effects , beta blockers would be in limited useage in the u.k.
