I started taking the generic of Toprol (metaprolol) 3 months ago. I'm on 150mg per day for a rapid heartbeat, I'm 39 years old. It has helped my heart problems but I don't know if the side effects are worth it. I experience major fatigue that may last a week at a time and subside for a few days, aches in my back and neck (which I've learned may also be attributed to the Lipitor that I am also on), and my worse symptom is constant diarrhea. Some days I will run to the BR 15 times in one day. It seems to subside by dinner time, but that is probably because I stay away from food all afternoon. I'm fortunate that I am a stay at home mom I can't imagine having to go to work in this condition!

Are you suffering from hyerthyroid? Everything you are describing is hyperthyroid, including the going to the bathroom thing.

I am a recovering Graves' Disease patient, and I felt somehow compelled to reply to your post, in view of the fact that Graves Disease and hyperthyroid go so often misdiagnosed because they can mimic other problems. But rapid heartbeat, tremor in the hands, severe fatigue, and going very very often to the bathroom are all symptoms of severe hyperthyroid.
