I wrote on my side affects on sept. 7th on this site. I have been off topral xl for about 2 months, and my heart beats normal now, my legs are not swollen, no headaches, long story short, most my symptoms gone. I can think so much clearer. My blood pressure now goes from 160/90 to 117/84 which last weekend I did try Diovan hct, a new blood pressure med. and Sat. and Sun. were a nightmare. I do know how dangerous it is to have high bp. for my brother-in-law passed a year ago nov. 2nd and my aunt Bev 3 years ago. But I am happy with my decision to continue the Peptace and Celery seed extract and monitor my bp. closely. My son went to Doctor for his bp. and Doctor said that they get some kind of a kick back from meds. like topral so maybe thats why they push it along with other meds. True or not, I still can't figure out why they kept me on it when I asked them to take me off cause I felt so bad. It sure did take a toll on my whole body. Good luck to ya all and listen and feel what your body is telling you. I know whats good for one is not good for all.

Did you have a lot of side effects while you were getting off the medicine?

How did you get off of it? Did you have any withdrawl symptoms while going off? I have tried twice to go off of it and each time I have had horrible withdrawl symptoms such as my heart racing and blood pressure rising. I want so badly to get off of it.

Hello Debbie, Please tell me how you weaned off and how long it took to feel better. I am on 25 dose and take at night for irregular heart beat. I tried every other night but now feel some slight chest discomfort.
