I'm sorry you're not getting the answers you're looking for, I get frustrated too when I ask a question and don't get a response! Can you be a little more specific as to what you need help with? Are you trying to figure out what meds you can take?

I am on Metoprolol TA, for hign Blood Pressure, Ambien to help me sleep at night,Xanax for Panic Attacks plus I take Klonapin as an added kind of pick me up if the others dont work. so far it seems to keep me calm enough. once in a while I get a little unruley and go off the deep end, but for the majority things are well controlled now. But it was a 12 year battle trying to find the right combination of meds that worked for me. my advice, be as patient as god allows you to be, it takes time to get you on the right ballence of meds.

Answer/Reply:
Heart failure often causes depression, and it should ease after you've been on the Toprol for a while. However, the Warfarin could aggravate, rather than relieve, the depression. Ask your doctor if it does not get better soon. Think happy thoughts, take walks. God loves you. Do crossword puzzles to keep your mind sharp. And remember: others do care about you.

Answer/Reply:
Some of our pediatric patients on high doses of beta blocker therapy for Long QT syndrome did report noticeable hair loss, reported more by adolescent female patients. However, for them it was a choice between the hair issue and an increased potential of sudden cardiac death if they do not take beta blocker therapy..

I had hair loss on this medication. The cardiologist is saying it is my thyroid but when I stopped the medicine the hair loss stopped. Now I am going to try it again and see what happens. I take it for skipped beats. This medicine also makes me tierd and slows my heart rate. I really have to watch because I don't have bp problems and my heart rate is low without the medicine.

I had hair loss, too. Even my eyebrows were coming out bunches at a time. I was taking one pill, twice a day. I cut back to once a day and my hair loss has stopped. I was taking the meds for a pounding racing heart. has really helped. I take the pill late in the afternoon to early evening. That really helps slow my racing heart so i can get through the nite. Also, when I was taking 2 a day, I seemed to be having more flim build up in my throat, causing me to start choking. This has stopped too, since I cut back.
