I am 23 years old. After being on 25mg/once a day Toprol XL for 1 year I began to experience Head aches almost everyday, nightmares, low blood pressure 89/62, weakness, weight gain, loss of memory. I started the pill after an S.V.T episode. Any how I said enough is enough I want off this med. so I went to see my doctor and she told me to cut my pill in half so far I feel good my headache is slowly going away and my BP is 110/72 instant improvement. I will be on lower dosage for 2 weeks,if i continue feeling good she said I can then go completely off of it. I am so excited. I asked to get off pill 6mo. before but Doctor (my previous doc. I changed docs) said he didn't recommend it I think it was a whole lot of BS seeing that I felt no need to be on pill as I only had one episode 1 year ago. My opinion is if you feel your ready to get off pill be assertive and let you doctor know this is what YOU want. I will post again after my 2 weeks are up. I am confident that I will be just fine :) God is with me and he will protect me as he will you.
