23 Jan 2012 Sometimes I get tired easily.

16 Aug 2011 I loved it at first for Resting Tachycardia then I tried to get off of it.. had a major 6 month rebound experince that put me on the couch and not walking. So now my heart rate is always high without it if I choose not to take it. When before I started to take this drug it wasn't that bad at all, and I didn't notice it to be a issue. Now if I am not taking it my I have inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia. Again never had it until after use of Toprol.

17 Jan 2011 Started taking 50mg and quickly had to increase to 100mg for desired effect. That went well for 2+ years and then started having irregular heartbeat. Dr. moved does up to 200 mg and that seems to have made it worse.
