how long does it take toprol xl to get out of your system?

Question

My mom is currently on toprol xl 50. The doctor increased her by 25- She seems to be having anxiety and heart racing alot and stomach problem. She is also very nervous-- The doctor told her there are not side effects- I was wondering if the increase could do this? also the doctor now decreased back to her normal level 50 and she is still having problems- how long does it take toprol xl to get out of your system?

Answer 1

Once the dose of a drug is changed, it usually takes about 5-6 doses before it to reaches a steady level in the bloodstream. However, the biggest drop in the drug levels comes with the first couple of doses.

If it has been over a week since she changed the dose, then the amount of Toprol in her system is already back to where it was before the doctor increased it to 75mg. But even after 2 days, her symptoms should improved if the Toprol XL was the problem. Hope that's helpful!

Answer 2

Doubt toprol xl is the cause--actually should slow heart and block some anxiety symptoms--You need Doctors advice before you stop the toprol--50 is not a lot.

Answer 3

I had the same question pertaining to another drug (even though I am taking Toprol XL). I just asked my local Walmart pharmacist what is the half life of the drug and he gave me an 8 page printout with all the information. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

My pill book says: onset 15 min., Peak 6 hrs., duration 24 hrs. for the Toprol XL.

Answer 5

I particularly dont understand what Toprol XL is yet I take Propranolol it truly is one, for migraines. i'm no longer efficient if its this med or others I take for COPD and bronchial asthma, yet one among them has made me image voltaic smooth and that i'm getting welts after I get sunburned. As for different undesirable consequences, I havent said any and that i have been taking it for 4 yrs now.
