Toprol-XL and sadness

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.

Has anyone experienced vaginal yeast infections on this medication?

Other than that (possible) side effect, here are the ones I have experienced: depression, apathy, lethargy, extreme fatigue, achiness, bloating, "heavy" feeling, difficulty with weight loss, memory problems (worsening-I had some memory problems before).

I am 45 years old and I take Toprol for a severe cardiac arrhythmia. I have a history of depression (actually, I have bipolar disorder) but my depressions have usually presented differently. This one is characterized by amotivationalism, while the others have had more sadness/worthlessness/guilt. Right now, I have no desire to do things that used to help me in previous depressions, such as reaching out to friends.

It has been a relief to read these posts and see that my symptoms are typical.
