Toprol-XL and fear

I was given toprol after a bad bloody nose. I have always had to deal with some depression but this drug made me want to die. Sadness, isolation, hopeless, uncontrollable anxiety, fear of being alone, non stop tears, stomach ache, the list goes on and on. Yet no one warned me of any of it. It was so scary I thought I was having a nervous breakdown.

Been on Toprol XL for 4 years. I am 64 with SVT and mitral valve prolapse. I was started at 50mg daily and got relief but when breakthrough SVT started the dose went up to 50mg in the AM and 25mg in the evening. I still have breakthroughs but can wait them out. I did notice that my SVT or palpitations seemed to be triggered with an imminent BM. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia but coincidentally....it started with severe muscle pain when I started taking Toprol XL. I wasn't told that this could be a side effect.HMMMM When my insurance was discontinued (retirement) I started taking the generic due to cost. I haven't noticed any difference between the two. I also noticed that after a SVT episode I have a increase in urination....Toprol or SVT? I also noticed that I am very aware of an increase in a feeling doom. I have had ekgs etc and my heart is in good shape otherwise.

I went to the doctor a year ago for anxiety and ended up with high blood pressure????? I have been on Toprol for 8 months now and my hair is thinning on top. I have very thick hair and this is not normal at all for me. I am very very tired all the time. Hard for me to get going and when I do I want to go back to sleep. I get heart palpitations. I am also on an anxiety pill. I tried to get off the anxiety pill and I could not for fear of having attacks again. Also, I don't think I understood how to start taking the medications. At the that time my grandmother passed away, my bosses husband pased away and I was worried about my daughter. I want so bad to get off the 2 medications I am on because I have not been the same ever since. I wanted to get off the Toprol but the doctor wanted me to stay on it. I WANT MY LIFE BACK.
