I have been on Toprol for over 5 years. I have finally (after numerous attempts) - been able to wean off of it. I am on my 10th day (7 day step down and now 3 days with NO Toprol). Can anyone that has successfully gotten off of Toprol please tell me how long it took to start feeling better? It has caused be severe GERD/Acid reflux, SEVERE breathing problems, and has stopped controlling my HBP - in fact my B/P is HIGHER on Toprol than it ever used to be. It also caused my heart to race from time to time. I want to get excited about feeling better - just waiting for that to happen. Anyone know what I can expect? Thank you so much.

I weaned myself off of this drug, and it's almost a month now with none at all, and I feel so much better! I had all the side effects everyone mentions in here, with terrible nightmares, weight gain, diabetes like symptoms,etc.
There are natural alternatives that i found that work great, no side effects.
All doctors will tell you the side effects you are experiencing cannot possibly be the drugs you are taking, but they lie! It's all about profit.
