It's hard to describe all the side effects I think I am having from taking 50mg. of toprol 1x a day, at bedtime. Since taking it, I have heart palpitations,flushing, full body pain, sleep all the time. Feel without hope- so I guess that would be described as depression. I have 0 energy, or even motivation. I have become a hermit in my own house, have not gone out anywhere at all- the entire summer. At first I thought it was becuase certain terrible things were happening with my daughter- but now that has abated-BTW she's 47. So I don't think the way I am feeling has to do with that. I feel just ghorrible- worse every day. Don't want to do anything. All I do most of the time, is sleep, or pray that God will let me die- I have nothing to live for- or Please heal me. Finally I have an appointment with my Cardiologist-Internist this Thursday, and I will ask him to take me off the Toprol. Tonight I am not going to take it, nor anymore until I see him. Nancy

Hello,
I too am taking Toprol. I have had depression for most of my life, but, it was always controlled with antidepressants. Since taking Toprol, I have felt worse than I ever had. I can't get my depression under control even though I am taking a handful of meds for that everyday. I keep thinking there is something wrong with one of the meds and have thought it may be the Toprol. I am an artist and love to do what I do, but, since starting this med, I haven't felt like doing ANYTHING. Can't get the house clean, go to the store, and even don't feel like doing anything creative , which is VERY unusual for me. I'm going to talk to my doctor about this because, I simply can't function.
Let me know how you do after decreasing your dose. I am very curious.
Carol
