My bp is usually 90/60-95/65 during the day. Lower at night. I was scared to take my Toprol, but it's been fine! I take generic toprol (regular not xl) 2x daily 25mg each. It didn't really change my bp. I'm still careful anyways when I sit up/stand. Plus I drink lots of water, have salt, etc.

Oh, it took me 1-2 weeks to get used to it. Until then I was groggy/dizzy. Then I was fine. No side effects.
