Toprol-XL and change doctors

I've been on toprol for two years and am now weaning myself off it. The swelling in my ankles and feet has disappeared the pains I had in my leg muscles is gone. I have my balance back and have much more energy. Since stopping prolol, I have developed a mild tachycardia, buy I feel twenty years younger. My only regret is that I did not get off this terrible medication much sooner. I am in the process of finding a medication for the tachycardia which does not have such terrible side effects. If your doctor won"t take you off prolol, change doctors. Don't be afraidtoo take charge of your life.
