60 yr old/young female: I started generic toprol (metoprolol 50...

I was prescribed Tropol xl by my cardo man, but lowest dosage, but I told him nothing has depression side effects, but in the 3 rd day my feet begun to swell up so much more even my calfs, they all started to throb, so I just stopped it pronto. by the 3 rd day, i call my dr. and left mes. but the nurse said I should have weaned off, 1st how? I asked, We said oh in 3 day no need too,she then had dr. notes to me, He said for me to stop. See before I was on sulgar 10 mg. (calcium channel blocker,) for a yrs,. but begun to have my feet swollen up again, and since I can not take nifidedine, 3 day swollen feet, I had previously be on for several yrs, Dynacacire had no problems, but my drug company would not despense them,. thus I called every pharmancy was on 2.5 mg no problem, so for 1 yrs, I have had problems, Now I find out I did not need a calcium channel blocker, just a beta blocker, well, I will not take anything that has any side effects, I already take neurotin, then the generic gababentin for neuropathy in my feet, numb toes and feet and thru test, specialist said thru test shows I already have it in my hands too. The generic is so so, I can feel the difference, right away. The neurontin is much more helpful as far as pain goes , especially now cold feet feel it more w. cold weather coming on.
Taking 600mg 1 tb at nite, makes for good sleeping.and
I also was told to take 1-2 tbs of 100 mg 2 x a day. am & afternoon.

last yr this time, I only took only took 300 mg at bedtime could not tolerate it during the day time, but it made me sleep like a baby.

I am really concerned that I do need a beta blocker, but hate the side effects, Does anyone know if the neuropathy cause more side effects on my feet. w./ any drugs.

would appreciate any replies,
