Toprol-XL and phobia

I was on Toprol 40mg for a little less than 2 years. During that time, I've experienced panic attacks which led to driving phobia, cold chills, decreased sex drive, vivid dreams, constant fatigue, unsteadiness, disorientation, and weight gain regardless of decreased food intake and exercise. My bp seem to have benefited from it, but at a cost of these other side effects. My MD recently switched me from Toprol 40mg to Avapro 150mg. The switch seem to be a good move. For those of you who are experiencing major side effects, you might want to consider alternative beta blockers other than Toprol.
