My mother is ninety-one and is on Toprol-XL and has been for almo...

I took Toprol-XL for about two years and had to discontinue use due to vivid dreams. The dreams were very vivid and caused me to sleepwalk at one time. That is when I quit taking the drug.

I have very bad dreams when I take Toprol at night. It happens every night if I take it at night before bed. Now I take it during the morning.

I took Toprol for 6-7 months and stopped it becuase of the VIVID dreams were very disturbing to me. The Toprol dreams were almost making me feel psychotic. I did not want to go to sleep. My doctor told me the dreams were a side effect of the Toprol, although it is a more unusal side effect. I stopped the medication nearly 2 years ago and I still have more dreaming than I used to before Toprol, but the dreams are not so disturbing.

I have taken Toprol (in the morning) for 3+ years and have horrid dreams that I know are from this drug. I work nights, 6 days in a row, and take Lunesta (or Ambien) to sleep during the day and I do not have the horrid dreams..only on my 8 days off when not taking Lunesta.

When I first started taking Toprol XL or when I was instructed to increase my dosage I would have vivid, not so pleasant dreams. But after a short time they stopped.
