I was put on Toprol xl after a visit to the Dr. because of a kidney stone. My pressure was extremely high at the time, probably more due to the fact that my kidney wasn't functioning properly with the stone. Anyway, 50 mg of the generic once a day. I was also given lipitor. I stopped the lipitor 2 months after taking it, because I felt like my body was put through a meat grinder....slowly. After 2 months on the Toprol, I have been extremely anxious, tired and my voice has suddenly become very weak. I even went to the ENT to make sure there was nothing else going on. Everything was fine. I cut the dose from 50 mg to 25 and within 2 days my voice returned to normal. The problem is my BP also went up. Anyone else have voice problems with this med?
