Synthroid Toprol XL Procardia Pain Back pain Hydrochlorothiazide Nifedipine
Great news, I'm glad it went smoothly for you, it's my goal to get off the beta blocker too, I've stopped the water pill and already things are improving, my lower back pain has stopped and the itchy hives have gone. Can I ask what meds, if any, you take to keep your BP low?

Hi ,sure you can ask. I take the following meds daily to regulate my blood pressure:
1. NIFEDIPINE ER/XL 60MG (this is the generic for Procardia it a calcium channel blocker)
2. HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE 12.5 MG ( this is a water pill I take it because my ankles began to swell, a side effect from Nifedipine. Good Luck keep me posted
Hi Everyone,
I have been off Toprol XL for a few months now and am feeling much better. I was having constant plapatations and now they are rare. I have been trying to lose weight also. My regular dr has upped my synthroid meds. Glad to hear others are feeling better also.
