Mba symptoms and conditions

I have been on Toprol XL 25 mg for a few years, then 50 mg for 2 years. The last two have been spent on 40 mg Benicar and 25 mg of Toprol XL. Originally I was put on to elevated heart rate, blood pressure, and palps at 24 years of age. I blame it on anxiety, especially the white coat kind, but have since gotten seem to get that control. Not to mention I have quit smoking, both cigs and pot, and cut down on the late nights of boozing from my twenties. In any case, I am still taking the Benicar to make sure my bp stays in control, but off the Toprol completely for a week now. I can feel my heart rate is more elevated at times, but I think that is good and actually natural. My energy has increased, especially while working out, and I am thinking clear for the first time in years. Not that I was stupid, I managed to get promoted twice and an MBA during my time on Toprol, but feel much better. Will see if I have any of the side effects from that everyone describes, but my experience both on and off the drug was pretty good. I think most people on this drug already have anxiety, so learning to control that is key to living a life off the drug. Good luck to everyone, but glad to be off at least one medicine.

Thank goodness for the internet. I didn't notice any mood changes my first month on Yaz, but around my second month I started work on my MBA. I thought my short temper, bouts of rage, impatience, and general freaking out had to do with stress and sleep deprivation! However, now my hard class is over, I'm getting enough sleep, and I am STILL feeling like a complete psycho. Yesterday I started screaming after I took a wrong turn in traffic, and my incidence of saying "I want to shoot myself" and swearing have gone up 200% since taking this drug. I have never been a violent or aggressive person, but looking back I have been snappy, rude, and generally a bitch! It FINALLY occurred to me that it could be the pill causing the mood swings. . . and all the comments I am seeing on the internet are just confirming my suspicion. I finished my pack a couple days ago and will NOT be renewing my prescription. I'm getting in to my doctor ASAP.
