I am a 36 year old African American Female. I have been on Topro...

I had the same problems on Toprol. I'm not a weepy guy by any stretch, but I found myslef near tears a few times a day and I was horribly dizzy. Eventually switched to Lisinopril and HCTZ and that has worked much better

Perhaps you're feeling depressed because at age 36 you're still dating immature 20-something year olds. Dating young 20's is just about a lay - there's no future in the relationship - and is really a waste of your time...particularly if you're not even getting an orgasm out of it. It's beneath you. Life for immature 20-somethings can still be about fun - but at 36 you should be past all that foolishness and thinking about your future.

A 36 year old woman with 2 sons needs to start showing them how to make good long term solutions so they don't make poor choices that will impact them for the rest of their lives. Notably making the poor decision in a few years of having sex with some desperate, lonely woman in her late 30's and knocking her up and being stuck paying child support for children they don't even get to live with and raise...........when they could better use that money for an education so that they can BE somebody special for the rest of their lives.

I hope you will not take what I'm saying as an insult - but rather just something to think about from someone who has made some idiotic choices at times of my own. Take care and good luck.

The slight implication that I was lonely and desperate, was a little insulting. Any time someone tries to tell me what I should do or should show my sons...always wrong to me. Some things you pointed out were factual but not what I expected to get as a reply to my message when I posted it. I was hoping to get info from people who were also taking Toporol to see how they felt, what they were experiencing. On a brighter note, I stopped taking toporol about 3 months ago. I feel great! I currently take Vasotec. I am no longer depressed. I have orgasms. It seems though, that something hit home with you. Do you have young sons or something? I am not a predator nor do I date younger guys exclusively. I was in an abusive relationship for 17 years. I have been dating for the last 4 years. My dating is my personal life and has no major effect on my boys. I think it is better to see mom happy and dating than to see her abused and living in an abusive household. Comments are cool but it's hard when you don't have the whole story.
