I have been taking toprol xl for about 6 months now for slightly elevated blood pressure and the occasional heart flutter. My cardiologist said my heart was fine - they did all the test including treadmill, sonogram of my heart etc. He said everything was great, but that I needed to lose weight to get my blood pressure down. So I have, I have dropped 8 pounds in the last month and am steadily going. But tonight I want to have a few beers with a friend to celebrate his birthday and want to make sure I’m not going to kill over and end up on one of those news specials for some dangerous drug interactions. I have been reading on the internet and most of what I have found said that it could increase drowsiness and I shouldn’t operate cars etc - but one place said it could decrease the medications affect - so.. any thoughts?
I take my toprol at night, in fact it was about an hour and a half ago. I went ahead and had one light beer and cut at that. I can’t say that I feel it is interacting - but it’s not worth taking the risk. Thanks to all for the advice.

I’m on toprol too. I’ve drank several shots of rum and coke when I went gambling last month and I’m still here to tell about it. However, Seepaul’s luck is different from Gopaul’s luck.
Ask your friendly doctor if it’s okay.

Just to be safe don’t drink that many beers, but you should call a specialist so you don’t hurt yourself.
