I am 36 and take 100 mg of generic Toprol a day. I was put on it due to many ( I mean 30 to 40) palps a day. I had been on Atenolol for about 5 years and the doctors told me it had simply quit working. I had an echo and a 24 hour holtor monitor and both came back negative, yet I felt like I was dying daily. My palps have diminished with the medicine, with a change in diet and running 5 or 6 days a week for about 3 miles. Caffeine and alcholol have almost been excluded. I do have cold hands and feet and have had much trouble losing weight. Stomach cramps and an upper right side cramps have been an issue. After reading your posts I think we need to get off this stuff

Yes - I am on Toprol XL 50mg. I am always always always tired. I never knew why. But all the meds I am on are the culprit --- the Toprol XL, the Altace, the Lipitor. All of them cause me to be chronically tired. My family says I'm lazy. Nah, its the medications that cause this. I can't lose weight, and I am always Tired......

I am a 19 year old female on 150mg of toprol. You are having a lot of the symptoms I have with my heart condition called Inappropriate sinus tachycardia. I have cut all caffeine and alcohol out of my diet and I can not excercise at all. My heart rate is extremely unstable and now I have developed anxiety from it. I get palps all day, along with dizzyness and lightheadedness not to mention the fatigue. But I had all these symptoms before I went on the toprol, except for the tiredness. The med ha kept y heart better in check. Maybe you should ask your doctor about IST, it is extremely hard to diagnose but once it is diagnosed, it gets better.
