I was reading your post and had to reply to it!! I have been on toprol xl for about 10 years or a lil longer! Started out at 100mg a day now take 200 mg a day. Am a 37 year old female,feeling like a 90 year old female! For the past 3 years or so experiencing numbness started in my toes, now my left foot to right below my knee is completely numb,right foot and leg getting that way!My hands stay real tingly also! When they are not numb they hurt me so bad. I just couldn't believe your post when I read it! Been to neuro telling me I have severe nerve damage in arms legs and feet? I am like from what? Had all kinds of tests and MRI, nothing.... Thank you for your post,printing it out and taking it to my doc! Maybe we have finally got a diagnosis!!! Sounds like it is the meds to me,Not to mention I am also on 3 other bp meds! Just scared me saying I might have M.S. More like toprol xl huh? How is your numbness now? Was wondering if u experience pain w/ the numbness? Thanx T.

Wow 2oo Mg.... Was or is your BP really high? I was on 25 mg and was passing out while on that amount obviously it was to high a dose and it was dropping my BP to low I am now on 12.5 mg but still at that low of a dose I experience days of dizziness, fatigue it has caused me to have anxiety... I am wondering if this dose of toprol effects your heart rate too?? Meaning is your heart rate ever really low? Did you have a problem with Your heart rate before starting this or just your BP? That is one of my main concerns is it sometimes drops my Heart rate in the low 50's and I feel so tired Of course my doctor shrugs it off and says it is not the toprol especially at such a low dose but I know It is. I have tried several times to wean off of this and each time I try I end up having severe tachycardia issues and or some withdrawl symptoms to where I end up taking it again. I am so frustrated to be on this med and I feel awful on it and can't seem to find any help to get off of it. I am a 35 year old female. I hope to hear from you as I am interestedin how this med effects others especially regarding the heart rate. Thanks Michelle
