I have been taking Toprol XL 25mg for about 10 months. I had triple bypass surgery. The only things I have notice is less sexual drive, trouble sleeping between 3 am and 5:30 am, and trouble staying awake between 11 am and 3 pm. My blood pressure stays around 100/55 avg and pulse around 70.

I have been on Lurpon since February this year, I have had two heart attacks which required triple bypass surgery and a stent..
The Lupron is to shrink my fibroids, which are huge, one the size of a grapefruit!
I can honestly say apart from the hot flashes, I have had no side effects whatsover, I can't have any more surgeries yet until my cardiologist says so..
But I am very happy with Lupron the freedom every month (my periods stopped immediately) is just wonderful and I am not in bed for three days!
Guess it affects everyone differently, but I have read a lot of negative posts on it, but it works for me. I am forty six. The heart problems are genetic.
Toprol-XL (1) PredniSONE (1) Vytorin (1) Lupron (1) Lipitor (1)

I am a 59 yr. old woman who has HepC in 2003 and 2004 I went thru chemo treatments for my HepC during the second round of chemo, I got real sick and my auto ammune system started to shut down, was put on procrit and epogen, I then developed a severe allegric reaction to the treatments and was taken off in Oct of 2004. In Mar of 2005 I have the first of the 7 heat attacks I would go thru till May of 06, I have had triple bypass surgery as well. I was put on alot of meds, one being Lipitor 80mg, I have been on it for 2 and a half years now and have been suffering terrible pain in my legs, my arm, my chest my lower back,my upper back, severe leg cramps to the point where I have just sat and cried for God to come and take me home, I have all the systems and more that I have read about posted here and I am scared to death, I am afraid I am am being eaten alive inside my body, which has put me in the hospital twice thinking I was having another heart attack. I went to my doctor and ask him to test me and see if I had mybromyalgia, of course he said yes but I can tell you now it's the side effects of the lipitor, last blood test for chosterol showed level at 98. I see so many of you here on much lower doses than myself and my heart cries out for you. I have made a decision to go off the lipitor cold turkey as of last nite, is there going to be any problems with that, can anyone tell me, PLEASE HELP ME! I don't want to die, I have 6 beautiful grandchildren that give me reason to push thru the pain but sometimes I just want to give up.
