Toprol-XL and aching

I have been taking Toprol 50 mg daily for about six weeks. About 3 weeks ago, I started to be aware of a constant mild headache. This has progressed to a very troublesome aching in my head, face and neck, sometimes worsening with throbbing pain which keeps me awake at night. I am now weaning myself off Toprol, as it is causing me such misery as I have never before experienced such relentless pain and constant headaches.

Am 45 year old female. Was prescribed 25 mg.of Toprol 2 months ago for rapid heartbeat and occasional tightness in chest. Immediately developed constant aching, bruised feeling in chest. Also experienced occasional weird "hollow" feeling in sternum. Hallucinations in the beginning but those went away within a week. After about a month, the achy feeling went away, but now I have red, blotchy rash on chest and back. Am going to start taking 1/2 of meds and get off of these pills!

TOPROL XL 25mg (43yr old white male)

I went to the dentist where they took my blood pressure (180/95). they suggested seeing my medical doctor. my doctor started me on 50mg to get the pressure down. the first three or four days I felt like I had run 1000 miles everyday, I was so fatigued. I called the doctor and told him and asked if I could cut them in half (they have a cut line on them). I have now been taking 25mg for about year maybe a year and half (time flys). I am still fatigued but not as badly, I am over-weight by 30-40lbs and I also smoke. additonally, my knees "ACHE", my calves ache and most recently my right hip and my wrists and forearms are aching (like carple tunnel of something). Finally, my indigestion is back (after starting toprol that kind of subsided for several months). I have just been passing it off as getting older and having to chase two small children around.

after reading some of your posts, I wonder if it's not the toprol causing the fatigue, joint pain and the return of my acid-reflux.

I am sitting here typing and my knees are screaming, right now!

has anyone else experienced all these symptoms?
