I have been on Toprol-XL (BRAND) for 3 months. I took the generic for 2 months with no change in BP so I requested the brand name. I found your website by surfing the web looking for answers to my complaints. I have weight gain, vivid violent dreams, extreme fatigue, my breathing is slow and I am just dragging around in a fog. I felt better when my BP was high and I didn't take all this medication. Currently, I am taking first, Lisinopril, then added Toprol XL AND then added Clonidine. My BP is still not properly controlled. I am going to the doctor today to have my medication changed. Thank you for sharing your comments.

Please have your renal arteries and kidneys checked. I am only 35 years old and have been on all types of BP meds, that didn't seem to work. Nobody even mentioned my renal arteries. Well, that was the problem. The blood flow was being blocked and my kidneys were failing. This can be deadly! Please have an MRA or an ultrasound. Your uncontrollable blood pressure MAY be your body's way of crying out for help. All you have to do is listen...
