Hi. I've been taking Lopressor now for almost a year and I have had no bad side effects. I do however recommend you follow your doctor's recommendations so you will not have any problems he or she does not know about. Linda

I don't trust Drugs, but my doctor seems to think they help me and they believe Vitamins are no good and I often see lawyer commercials about the drugs harmful affects. I used to take the diabetic drug Avandia and the doc took me off when I was about to ask him to remove it.
