Frustrated | | | Ok I'm sooo soo frustrated. Went to Dr.s yesterday because having trouble regulating blood pressure, is spikes up on the medicine i'm on. Tests come back ok, blood work is awesome. Colest. 169, Trig. 35, hdl 85, ldl 79.
He changed me from benicar to Lotrel, (broke out in a rash today) so that means can't take it anymore. He now gave me toprol xl. (suppose to start it tomorrow) I'm not
side affects weight gain, depression, low sex drive, anxiety. HELLO, WEnt on a forum for this medicine and alot of people gained 15-40 pounds within 6-9 months. Of course you'd be depressed. I've worked too hard loosing 40 pounds and keeping it off since 2003. to even possibly take a medince that might make me gain weight. that would make me depressed all by itself.
Is there any one out there on Toprol xl? So i'm going back on my benicar, and am going to change doctors next week and go to a Cardiologist instead of a GP. Any advice | |
