I doubt that Toprol  is the culprit. The side effects of Toprol are related to SLOW heart rates, not fast one.\n\nAdditionally, it tends to reduce many "palpitations" (irregular heart beats).

Hawthorne Berry will lower your heart rate and is over the counter\njust follow the directions and adjust them amount accordingly.

I tried Zantrex a year and a half ago and it worked perfectly.  It's loaded with caffeine or some kind of stimulant and you might feel jittery at first but it subsides.  The trick is too eat when you take it, if you dont eat anything you will be sick to your stomach and feel terrible.  \n\nI tried it because my friend's doctor actually recommended it to her as an alternative to prescription diet pills, so, I figured it was safe. Like I said it worked great, I lost about 10-12 pounds really fast and then stopped taking it.  I've gained only a little of it back, but I know its because of my terrible eating habits- I eat fast food everyday and never work-out. With any diet pills or diet plan you do have to make some kind of life style change if your going to quit and expect to keep the weight off.

PLEASE talk to your doctor ASAP or contact the hospital, for advice, while it maybe normal to feel a little weird when starting a new medication, it is not normal to feel faint, tingly, heavy chested and wanting to  or falling into a deep sleep.\n\n\nAtenolol may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:\n\ndizziness\nlightheadedness\ntiredness\ndrowsiness\ndepression\nupset stomach\ndiarrhea\n\nSome side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them, call your doctor immediately:\n\nshortness of breath\nswelling of the hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs\nunusual weight gain\nfainting\n\n\nI don't wish to alarm you but I has a similar experience with another  drug, and at the time I had no idea that I had a major allergic reaction, all similar to the symptoms you have described. I eventually passed out, (no one could wake me, and I was barely breathing) in the middle of my 40th birthday party (not one drop of alcohol, passed my lips). But I seriously did not think it was all that serious until, I spoke to my doctor the next day. \n\nSo do speak to some one sooner rather than later.

"I have been on Toprol XL (metaprolol succinate), a beta blocker, for almost three years. Like many others I was having trouble maintaining erections, when finally last year I got up the nerve to mention it to one of my Drs. He acted like he had been expecting me to bring it up at some point, and gave me samples of Viagra to take. My only regret is that I did not mention it to him sooner. I feel like I'm thirty again.\nI am very happy now with the results I receive from both of these drugs. Talk to your Dr about it. I'm positive he is aware of problems caused by beta blockers, and should work with you to eliminate those problems.", Mat from NY.\n\nRead about Viagra, Cialis, Levitra - treatment for Erectile Dysfunction Treatment http://www.edpills.net/article_viagra_cialis_levitra.php\n\nA wide variety of options exist for treating erectile dysfunction. They include everything from medications and simple mechanical devices to surgery and psychological counseling. The cause and severity of your condition are important factors in determining the best treatment or combination of treatments for you. You and your doctor may also want to consider how much money you're willing to spend and the personal preferences of you and your partner. If erectile dysfunction is the result of a medical condition, the cost of treatment may be covered by insurance.\n\nOral medications\nThree oral medications are available to treat ED. These include:\n\n* Sildenafil (Viagra)\n* Tadalafil (Cialis)\n* Vardenafil (Levitra)\n\nThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Viagra in 1998, and it became the first oral medication for erectile dysfunction on the market. Since then, doctors have written millions of prescriptions for the blue, diamond-shaped tablets. But Viagra is no longer the only pill that treats this condition. Levitra and Cialis are two other options.\n\nViagra, Levitra and Cialis work in much the same way. Chemically known as phosphodiesterase inhibitors, these drugs enhance the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical messenger that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis. This increases the amount of blood and allows a natural sequence to occur — an erection in response to sexual stimulation. These medications don't automatically produce an erection. Instead they allow an erection to occur after physical and psychological stimulation. Many men experience improvement in erectile function after taking these medications regardless of the cause of their impotence.\n\nThese medications share many similarities, but they have differences as well. They vary in dosage, duration of effectiveness and possible side effects. Other distinctions — for example, which drug is best for certain types of men — aren't yet known. No study has directly compared these three medications.\n\nAlthough these medications can help many people, not all men can or should take them to treat erectile dysfunction. If you've had a heart attack, stroke or life-threatening heart rhythm during the last six months, don't take these medications. If you've been told that sexual activity could trigger a cardiac event, discuss other options with your doctor. In addition, don't take Viagra, Levitra or Cialis with nitrate medications, such as the heart drug nitroglycerin. The combination of these medications, which work to widen (dilate) blood vessels, can cause dizziness, low blood pressure, and circulation and heart problems.\n\nDon't expect these medications to fix your impotence immediately, because that's not always the case. Dosages may need adjusting. Or you may need to alter when you take the medication. Before taking any medication, make sure to discuss with your doctor its potential benefits and side effects.\n\n\nNon-surgical ED Treatment Treatment Sex Therapy\n...

Things with stimulants like caffeine and ephedrine (should be off the market) and pseudo ephedrines can cause the feeling of palpitations

my wife takes it when she feels chest pain coming on...she puts one small tablet under her tongue,  the nitroglycerine dissolves instantly and expands her arteries to allow more blood flow,,,she feels warmth throughout her body when she takes it and afterwards has a mild headache that dissipates in a little while..my wife has already had a 5 artery bypass, but has restricted arteries in her neck that the doctors are reluctant to try and open up due to the risk of stroke...

Not all BP meds are created equal. 25mg is a very low dose and I am sure your doctor has you scheduled to reevaluate this. Anxiety can affect blood pressure and heart rate but you should have also discussed this situation at your visit. Toprol is a commonly used drug and should work well for you. Be sure to follow up with your checkups.

Toprol or metoprolol(generic) is a beta blocker which lowers your heartrate and ideally keeps you from having tachycardia. The risk with surgery is in people who STOP taking the medicine. The risk is rebound hypertension, possible heart attack. Not usually seen in an otherwise healthy 25 year old female.\n\nToprol is not recommeded in pregnancy, it has been linked to intrauterine growth retardation.\n\nCongradulations on quitting smoking. Giving up caffeine will decrease the number of SVT episodes you experience.

I would go back in to your doctor and let him/her know what your concerns are. I'm pretty sure that Atenolol is meant for daily use though and that if you're on it for hypertension and you're not taking it daily it won't work because you won't have a steady level of the drug in your system. I checked my drug book and saw nothing about it being a PRN med. I would also say that if you notice that your heart rate falls to 50 I would not take the next dose and contact your doctor.

It is a Diet Pill. It speeds up your heart rate and it makes you feel like doing other things beside eat.  I lost 76lbs. on it once but gained 100 back when I quit taking them.  Good Luck.

Bambuterol is a Sympathomimetic drug. These stimulate a branch of the autonomic nervous system that controls heart rate, they may sometimes cause palpitations and trembling.As such they need to be prescribed with caution for those with heart problems, high blood pressure or an overactive thyroid gland.\nSeek medical advice if you experience ANY problems.

My friend was in  inpatient treatment and took Topomax, he described feelings of rage adn anger.  He said he thought he was going to explode.   My friend is mid mannered, smart and kind.  Go figure.  Maybe there is something to what you are saying.\n\nSOmeone wrote in on a board:           * comments: We tried topamax as a replacement for the Carbatrol because Carbatrol causes overweight. After the 2nd week on topamax Lucas began going into extreme physical rages, striking out at his family and surroundings. We have since taken him off from topamax, and now after about 3 weeks the anger problem is gone. Will meet with Doctor again in 2 weeks.\n\nMakes you wonder....\n\nI hope he feels better.

stop taking xenadrine -- is it more important to lose weight than have a heart problem? whatever they say about xenadrine is false advertising -- it does contain ephedra. it has been prhobited by the food and drug administration, but is still sold in some stores, even reputable ones because of it's popularity. it is effective i guess, but the side effects are not pretty -- people are in denial when it comes to this kind of drugs. they don't care about the side effects, as long as the drug is working. \n\ni bet these symptoms you listed above started when you started taking xenadrine. so i advise you to immediately stop that medication. i bought one of those trimspa years ago, never took one of them because i did a research on it -- not good. please try to remember, there are NO shortcut pills to a healthier body -- lifestyle change is a lot more safer and successful. \n\nthese kind of pills make you hyperactive -- makes the heart beat faster also -- and this will cause cardiac irregularites eventually. \n\nif you think xenadrine is so safe -- ever wondered why doctors DON'T prescribe it to patients? you are way too young to have heart problems (unless you've had it since you were a baby -- but still xenadrine is still contraindicated). trust me -- it's xenadrine that's causing your heart irregularities.\n\ngood think you were just playing bowling -- if you took this drug and started running -- don't know where you'll be right now. somebody has died from it too -- that's why ephedra is considered illegal.

I haven't taken Topamax, but when I took Wellbutrin a while back, it was amazing that I didn't eat as much.  You just don't WANT to eat as much when you're on a mood stabilizer.  \n\nMeds are great.  Take them with an open mind and don't panic - enjoy.

yes,according to several articles ive read in various health magazines, a lot of people report this problem with lipitor.talk 2 ur dr-maybe they can switch u to another med.but keep taking it while u wait 2 c the dr,keeping cholestrol low is important.it can cause acid reflux,too-so dont take it and then go to sleep-remain upright @ least one half hour,so it has time to go down the esophagus .
