m @210 (still overweight) and on low dosages of Lisinopril (10mg), Toprol XL (25mg), and a diuretic (37.5). Over the past 4 weeks, I've experienced some morning sluggishness and ED. It's not a sudden onset; I've been very cold some nights at bedtime, had sporatic ED... and I walk 5 miles a day four or more times a week... so up to now, no one has been surprised about a pulse of 60. Only now my pulse is often @ 50 and occasionally in the mid to upper 40's.
So it has nothing to do with MS. Viagra increases blood flow and it helps a lot. It will drop your blood pressure and you don't want it to drop to a dangerous level, so you need to monitor it. Start with the minimum effective dose which is 25mg and see if it does something for you. If you wait for a study from the FDA on Viagra for MS, then it will probably happen after you are dead. Please try this now. Viagra has a very good safety profile for a number of years now.
My husband is on the medication Suboxone and I was needing to know if he can take Viagra with this medicine? We don't want him to take it and go into withdraws or anything so, are the two compatible?
It has helped but it has not solved the problem. I went to my doctor and he gave me a prescription for Viagra, 50 mg. My question is this: Is it safe to occasionally take Viagra if I also take L-Arginine? Are there are any potential contra indications in that Viagra should not be taken by a person who takes L-Arginine? If so, is the contraindication just for that day? In other words, would I be safe if I did not take L-Arginine on the day I took Viagra?
I am just trying to find out if occasional use of viagra would be safe or a risk to take.
That is because Viagra was a mixture of compounds put together in a drug company to give help to angina sufferers, but the very noticeable side effect was seen. However, they re-branded it for the purpose we see today.
Definitely check in with your health care provider before using viagra and heart medication. Viagra was accidentally discovered to work for ED when being studied for it's affects on the heart. They always ask you if you are taking this. Men taking ED medications can not take nitrates as a general rule.
I do not believe this was caused by Viagra. It usually causes a vascular problem.
The new onset of floater should be considered an urgent condition. It is may be associated with retinal tears and subsequent retinal detachment.

They gave me lopressor 25mg and a 1000cc of NACL. They sent me home with instructions no caffeine and take toprol. I have never smoked and do not drink. I do have the normal stressors with being a RN, wife and mother of two but other than that nothing. What could be causing these problems? The Dr cannot find anything but do see the high B/P and palpatations.
Yes, I know that Toprol XL is the brand name extended release version of metoprolol. However, there is a generic equivalent called metoprolol er, which I assume his doctor gave him. I have read many posts on this forum where users indicate that switching from Toprol XL to metoprolol er still report having problems. The generics are not always as good as the brand name ones.
I started on Toprol in December and they got more frequent. The dosage was raised in February. They became a little less intense throughout the month and finally almost completely disappeared a few weeks ago. I knew better to celebrate and I was right. THEY'RE BACK!!! Ugh is all I can say.
I had stopped the caffeine, hydrated myself and began eating bananas for the potassium.
We then figured out my svt was caffiene induced so I cut out caffiene and my doctor reduced my Toprol to 12.5mg and said I could eventually ween myself off. So I was feeling fine no headaches so I weened myself off and about a month later I am now getting headaches/migraines almost everyday. I was wondering if these headaches are related to my svt and if anyone else has had this problem. I'm so tired of waking up with a nagging headache everyday.
I have taken up to 200 mg of Toprol and had an occasional drink, wine or beer, and had no detected ill effects. I think even two would not be a problem, but I would not recommend doing that on a regular basis. Here I understand that binge drinking could have very bad effects, on Toprol or not. I also believe that a "glass of wine" every night should be acceptable, but I do not do that. I almost never have a second glass either, unless it is over a long period of time, e.g.
I have been on Toprol for 3 years and have put on twenty pounds use to be a runner but I cannot find enogh energy to start back I have tried and tried, I have been through a couple of stress tests with very good results doctor thinks could just be in my "electrical " system he is reluctant to take me off Beta Blockers but I want my old life back, can I ween off Toprol to see what happens? Only other medical history is Chrone's and I have been in remisssion for six years.
I have taken this med for several years and have a history of depression. Just recently my depression has become quite severe! I have decided to stopped this med! Any advice?
Does anyone take NSAID's with their Beta Blocker? I take Toprol XL and it said there is a moderate drug interaction.
Dear Di: I have taken toprol xl for about 12 years and have not had a problem with it.. The XL stands for extended life.. it is not all released at once in your system..So I would say the reason you cant take it just when you have a problem is that your body does not get the full effect immediately.. You have to take it and build it up as I understand it.. dunno not a dr...but thats the way Ive always understood it.. basically its a very safe medication to take... hope this helps.. .
