Toprol-XL is merely an extended-release version of the same drug as is found in Lopressor.
In Roman numerals, XL would be 40. Toprol-XL is a prescription drug (metoprolol succinate) for the treatment of high blood pressure. The XL may imply that it was the 40th batch in a batch test, or that it was the 40th revision to the drug, but it may simply be an abbreviation of "excel".
Toprol-XL is a trade name for metoprolol succinate, an antihypertensive beta-blocker. It blocks sympathetic response (fight or flight) in the CNS, reducing BP and cardiac output.
Tartrate is the generic for Lopressor. Succinate is the generic for Toprol XL.
Toprol-XL, the brand name version of the generic drug metoprolol, is in a class of medications known as beta blockers. Among the side effects of beta blockers is weight gain, but it does not happen in all patients. See the related link for an article from a scientific journal that discusses the issue.

YES ! After being on Toprol XL for almost a decade, neuropathy in my hands and feet was so severe it was incapacitating. I could not even sleep from the pain ! Three days off Toprol (I have a smart doctor) and I am fine, working and back to normal activities. On another blood pressure med now and feeling fine. It is a miracle.
I currently take Wellbutrin XL at night. I have had no problems.
T3 is for severe but short duration pain. Tramadol is for long extended use control of pain. I prefer the slow release Oxycontin 10mg and adjust as needed 1 or 2 a day twice daily.
now I am taking metoprolol XL 50mg tabs which is time released as is my 60mg oxycontin. the oxy is twice daily where the meto is only once a day. you wanna watch certain antidepressants with this bp med. cough and cold aids should be avoided especially those with pseudephedrin meds.
Normally, this drug is taken twice a day. In the morning and in the evening. With or without food. Your doctor might have chosen a different schedule, depending on the indication of your prescription.
