my dr gave me metoprolol er (time release) today. 25mg to help lower my heart rate and blood pressure. I took it and about 3 hrs later stared feeling so strange. my face got real hot and it feels like there pressure in my head. I read that the generic brand could be different than the name brand toprol xl and that it could spike blood pressure. I called the pharmacy and he assured me it was the same thing and that it only lowers BP. did anyone else experience this when first starting metoprolol er? also it hasn't seemed to lower my heart rate either. btw I also just started taking Zoloft as well. any help or advice would be appreciated. thanks. ## It actually may have been caused by taking them together, since the Sertraline in the Zoloft can increase the effect of the Metoprolol, i...

Oval pill, scored in the center, marked 358 on the unscored side. Was allegedly supposed to be a generic for Toprol 200 mg.

I have been taking toprol xl for a couple weeks because my heart rate keeps spiking out of nowhere, the doctor upped the dose and it's still happening. Had to get an ambulance today when my blood pressure got up to 150/102 heart rate 146. This happens very fast when it happens and I normally have a very low blood pressure. Around 98/70 range . Why does my heart rate and bp spike like this? I'm not doing anything but resting lately. ## Well, there are various things that could cause it, according to NIH reports, such as being sick, eating, taking in a lot of caffeine, or other medications. Generally, Toprol causes a lowered heart rate and blood pressure. Have you consulted a cardiologist? Are you on any other medications? What time of day is it spiking? ## m on mtoprolol succinat...

I was switched from toprol XL 25 mg once a day to lopressor 25 mg 2x aday. The nurse said it was the same because one is extended release ad the other is not ## That is correct, they both contain the active ingredient Metoprolol, but the Toprol XL is a controlled release formulation and the Lopressor is a regular release one. Learn more Metoprolol details here. Where you told why the switch was made? ## No. When I phoned in for a prescription, another Dr ordered it for me; when I noticed the change my physician said just go ahead and use it because they are the same. I would prefer the once a day for convenience but she said not to waste the meds. Thanks for responding. Appreciate it.

Would like to know the manufacturer's name and place of origin. In other words, is it manufactured in the U.S. ## Since it is a generic, there are several manufacturers, so I can't answer your question without more information. Does the bottle list a manufacturer? Or, are there any markings on the tablets in question? If you can post back with this information, then I can discover who the manufacturer is and where they are located.

oval, light green/ dark green capsule with LANNETT 8527/1552 ## THIS IS NOT DARVOCET NOR DOES IT CONTAIN TOPROL! This capsule contains Aspirin 250mgs, Butalbital 50mgs and Caffeine 40mgs, this is a generic for Fiorinal, used to treat migraine headaches. In the US Darvocet is a combination drug of the mild narcotic Propoxyphene and Acetaminophen and that is the only coupling of it which is available, it does not come with any other ingredients. Here's a pill image to confirm: Capsule Image Click Here So there are NO narcotic subtances in this medication. ## .it seems most doctors have their minds made up about pain sufferers, that we are nothing but junkies. If doctors had to suffer in any of the many ways we do, you can be sure they would have more compassion, and less judging. ## I...

oblong tablet, G282 imprint on back, scored on front to break in half ## I could not find anything with that marking in the US prescription drug database listings, however, Metoprolol is the generic for Lopressor or Toprol, the ER stands for extended release. This is used to lower blood pressure and reduce the work load on your heart. ## I got the generic equivalent to Toprol XL 50 mg tablet used for high blood pressure treatment. I wanted to double check prior to taking the medication. My METOPROLOL ER 50 MG tablets also are an oblong tablet, G282 imprint on back, scored on front to break in half. Although the G was hard to read because of the triangular shape of the letter G. I just refilled the same perscription again. The new pills are more like Toprol XL. They are round with the co...
