Toprol-XL and constipation

I do not feel horrible but Im starting to experience a sort of constipation. I'll go a day and a half struggling to produce a bowel movement. Then finally I get a satisfying result. It's a struggle though. I push and push and push. I've been on 50 mgs for three months. I have to refill today. I will mention this to pharmacist. My appointment is not till the end of September.

I had wondered if it was just me and have found out otherwise from this site and others. I was put on Toprolxl 11/07 1x day for hypertension. The stomach problems began but I persevered and since I had been taken of my diuretic believed the bloating on my hands was because of thant not the Toprol. Anyway my BP and pulse rate got higher and higher then the doctor gave me back my diuretic and my dose of Toprolxl doubled to twice a day.I noticed that my fingers would still swell after toprol and the stomach--gas, constipation got worse. Today I called my MD and said I wanted off it. Am scared to eat anything. Feel tired and have dry mouth, stuffy nose. All this drug has done is cause misery

I have been on this crazy drug for about 5 months...i am difficulty with my breathing, muscle aches, terriible around ovulation, constipation, cant sleep at night, feeling like a zombie, just feels weird all the time. I thought that i was loosing my mind until 1 day i got on the net to look at side effects for toprol and wowwwwww i found that i am experiecing lots of the same things others are. i went to the e r and they thought i was nuts my dr as well.. he takes me off them and says they dont do any of those things to him. now sitting there i started feeling nutz again wondering maybe it is in my mind until i came back on the net and looked up this.... he took me off completely and put me on cardizem i hope and pray they work for me.. toprol did it for my blood pressure but was killling me to. o dont let me forget the lack of sexx.

Have been taking toprol for 2 years. Have had leg pain and cramping, mental confusion, very constipated, developed diabetes and have cold hands and feet. Doctor says I must take this med and I am trying to have him prescribe an alternative. Stopping abruptly is out of the question according to the cardiologist as it may cause angina or heart attack. Anyone out there experience constipation or some of the other adverse side effects?

I have been taking topral xl for about two months and feel worse than before I started it. I had mitral and aortic valve replacements 4 years ago and recently started having preventricular contractions. The doctor has not been able to determine the reason this has started, but Dr put me on topral xl to stop them. It has stopped the contractions, but I have gained a lot of weight, have increased depression, fatigue, tingling toes, sore breasts, extreme bloating and constipation and overall feeling terrible. I feel that I would be better off just learning to cope with the contractions than having to deal with not wanting to do anything at all. I have always been an active person, even after the heart surgery, but now all I can do is sit. I can't get the doctor to understand that the cure is making me feel worse than the problem. Granted, preventricular contractions is no picnic, and causes a lot of anxiety, but now I don't have the energy or inclination do do anything. What good does it do to have me gain weight and be so depressed and fatigued? I really feel that I would rather have a pace maker than all of the side effects of this drug.

I've been taking Toprol XL 50MG 2x's a day for the past few months for HBP. I've been feeling so depressed and anxious about everything and just couldn't explain why. I have a very hard time sleeping, waking up several times in the middle of the night and many times moving from couch to chair to bed to find some kind of relief. I'm tired a lot and find no desire to do anything around the house...even the hobbies I love. I often have dry mouth, constipation, flatulence, heart burn, head aches, nausea, and depression.

I was started on Toprol XL 50 mg 3 weeks ago and am stopping it immediately. I have had 3 trips to the ER with shortness of breath and left sided chest pain. Other symptoms include a 10 pound weight gain, leg/feet swelling, difficulty swallowing, tremendous fatigue, headache, periods of feeling faint/lightheaded, extreme nausea and constipation with abdominal bloating. I have never felt so horrible in my life and will NEVER take this drug again.
