| Add Labetalol review | Add Toprol review I take 100mg each day & it does work very well. If I miss a dose I will start to get a headache. It has helped me very much. No side effects. I have been taking this drug for two plus weeks and my joints and muscles are so painful that I can hardly walk. I am also feeling very tired if I try to do any continuous walking. This medication is not one that I would ever use again. taking metoporol 100mg 2x day x 5 yrs. having sob, dizzy, bp drops to 90's & become so tired I lie down. tingling feet, difficulty going up steps & walking, nightmares, will stop med & talk to Dr. May try Toporol XL instead of generic. | |||
