Toprol-XL and cramps

Started Toprol XL 75 mg in December 2007. I had been having gastrointestinal issues and after much searching, I decreased the Toprol to 50 mg. and the symptoms went away. Before I figured it out, I had difficulty having bowel movements and unirating.

I am 57 years old, and never had HBP, I went to the cardiologist and told me I have 140/80 and prescribed Toprol XL 25mg. I bought the generic ones. Today is my second week and I did not know that my headaches (never had headaches before), electric chocks ringing ears , breathing problems, were a side effect of this pill until reading all these experiences of so many people. I am going to cut half the dosis and lower it, so I get out of this medicine. The doctor made an EKG and gave me Toprol because my left atrial was big due to untreated HBP. Is there any natural product, better than this killing medicine, please advice.

I am a 45 year old female & am on the Toprol-XL 50 mg & take 1 twice a day...I have noticed I have blurred vision & problems with my eyes & also suffer with my legs hurting a lot & also have joint stiffness & cramps in my feet & legs & have trouble sleeping & some memory problems at times along with feeling tired all the time & some depression & shortness of breath & no matter how little I eat I seem to put on weight & look & feel bloated...don't know if it's the Toprol-XL or not but have only had these problems since I been on that & Crestor.

I am taking Toprol XL for HBP. My legs have been cramping very badly during the night sometimes (Charley Horses). Now my doctor sent me for a doppler and they say it showed abnormal wave forms in both legs. Now they want me to do an angiogram which I am quite reluctant to do. These cramps didn't come on until I had been taking this medicine for a few months. My BP however had gone down, lower than the doctor remembers seeing it. I had blood work done earlier in the spring and everything on it was in normal range.

I was healthy until I went to the doctor. Now it seems I am on the way "out" of the world.

Hair loss thinning of hair, ringing of ears! lower and upper back pains! throat tighting spazing out! closes while eatting.
caughing excessive dry mouth, vision blurring, nose running,
headaches mild to massive! dehydration problems, leg and arm cramps. pannic attacks! mild to not so mild. sore throat.
palpitations at times! works in lowering blood presure,but the side effects iv got, makes it not worth taking ! seeing a new doctor soon! to change meds once again ! at this rate I will end up, bald headed, fat, and blind in a wheel chair. why cant these doctors, read the side effects and test people before they hand out these bombastic drugs to them !!
I think someone, has to die before they listen to reason.
secound thought, im talking about hmo doctors! they dont care I forgot !!
