I've been taking topral for about 4 or 5 months. It was prescribed to me in order to slow down my heartbeat. SInce I've been taking Topral, I seem to itch a lot. A couple of times, I purposely skipped taking it and seemed the itching stopped. I called my doctor and they said the itching is not from the drug. I check my blood pressure everyday and sometimes it drops to 100/55 and 115/60 and the dr. office told me not to be alarmed.

I just was diagnosed with neurocardiogenicsyncope - I have collasping spells. I am only 33 years old with two small children and a husband. I was totally healthy until these episodes started happening. The cardiologist put me on Topral, which I have only taken two pills and the side effects are horrible. Shortness of breath, shakey, nausea, tired, and just don't feel any energy. I just don't feel right and I have only taken two doses. Would I rather live with the episodes or deal with the side effects? I think I would prefer the episodes b/c at least 2-4 hours later I feel better as if nothing even happened. On this medicene - I feel horrible. Have you read the side effects to this medicene???? How can they even prescribe this to anyone. Does anyone feel like I do or am I overreacting?
