Topril symptoms and conditions

I have the same head and neck problems and I was thinking about a brain scan. I am switching to quinapril because my pharmacy doesn't carry metoprolol anymore. My head feels almost like it has a band around it and I am extremely tired all the time with nasal drainage and flu like pain in my muscles. I never had this when I was on Topril but I can't afford it. Thank you for relieving my anxiety.

I thought I had already posted, but it isn't showing up. I am a 61 yr. old female who suddenly developed high bp in Dec. (sometimes 195/90) and had never had high bp. They tried a couple of different meds before lopressor (toprol?) and Norvasc worked. My bp is normal for me now, but after about 2 weeks I started getting numbness, tingling, a cold clamminess in one spot on my left leg. The numbness started gradually, and would change from a hand to a foot, but would go away. Eventually, it started being basically all over every day. I took a Xanax one day just because it was driving me crazy,and the numbness went away, so my doctor felt it had to be anxiety or the Zanaax wouldn't help. I had read that this could be a side effect of this med, so I talked to my doctor about it and he said to go off of it and see. He said it should be out of my system in about 3 days. Three days did not make a difference, so I thought it was anxiety. I started taking 1/2 Xanax in the morning and 1/2 at noon, and by noon the numbness and tingling would be starting again.

Now, I think it is the meds. I am trying to find an herbal alternative, but there are so many listed that I don't know which would really work and I can't find a doctor in this area that specializes in herbs. The Xanax is starting not to work as well as it did. Today, I took 1/2 of the bp medicine and felt better than in a long time, but it could be in my imagination.

Friend who is 70 developed cough whichi kept him awake at night. He switched off Topril (generic Metoprolol).

I was taking Coreg...inferred with sleep first week or two...took 1 hour then 2 hours to fall asleep for 5 hours. Then wide awake.

After three weeks, did not get to sleep..stayed up all night, wide awake. Went 7 days with maybe 10 hours total sleep. Doc switched me to Topril 25mg. Problem continues - after 4 days, still wide awake all night. No desire to nap during day..wide awake but very tired and exhaused.

It may the be 'class' of drugs that are similar. The Coreg sleep problem worsened with time. The Topril continued it when I switched. Doc has taken me of Topril now.

Rash I went on Topril about 1year ago . 25mg and it solved my my high heart rate. Episodes from 1 to 2 hours rapid heart beat up to 175 beats a minute. Now I am fine But ____But when i increase dossage as recomended to 50 mg a rash appeared and my dermatologist thinks it is cause by Topril. Anybody else have a rash from this medication??? Please help LW

I have been on lisinopril for the past month and a half 40 mgs/daily, and the cough is crippling and disturbs my sleeping. I am also on Topril 50 mgs. The coughing starts as a burning twisting sensation in the middle of my stomach, which turns into a hugh cramp in the back of my throat and sends me into a coughing spasm that ends with my vomiting for a few minutes. I actually have fear when I feel this happening. I'm very scared. It stops for about twenty minutes then starts up again. The doctor thinks I have a cyst in my sinus that makes me cough, I think it's this medicine because of the same thing everyone says here. Blurry vision and fatigue are getting worse. Also my sense of taste is gone.
