I am a 34-year old women who started 50 mg of Toprol-XL 4 days ag...

Definitely call your doctor, I would think 4 days and it wouldnt produce alot of withdrawal,but not sure. Ask him about calcium channel blockers as an alternative. Also ask about a shortterm anxiety med like ativan. Good Luck.

That is very interesting. I was fine on Toprol XL, except that I had joint pain and insomnia. Dr. switched me to the generic metorpolol and then I began having the panic attacks, rapid heart beat, blocked ears, and nose bleeds. Just called Dr. and said I wanted to change so she is putting me on Diovan. I pray that this will do it. I have been on others and have had reactions so I am also ready to go the holistic way or natural. I have almost cut back on salt completely, but there was no change. Please post your results finding a natural remedy. Gopod Luck
