I am a 66 year old female, usually in very good health. I came across this discussion, while looking for some side effects of Toprol xl. I have been taking 25mg of toprol xl for approximately 3 1/2 years. recently I have been suffering with excruciating pains in both shoulders, right hip ,and right thigh. I also have the ringing in the ears. I am diabetic so I had almost convinced myself that I was having problems from the diabetes. My doctor seems to think that my problem is from the dosage of Zocor that I was taking for cholesterol. This Doctor prescribed Lisinopril 5mg daily along with the toprol and zocor that I have been taking for a while now.. After viewing the side effects on this site, now I am convinced that my problems will go away if I just stop taking these medicines. The pain pills tend to stop some of the pain but I know its still there, because I can barely lift my arms, or sit in a chair..
