I thought the came coreg is very strong. I was given it close to a yr ago he told me i had diastolic heart failure which i never had been told by hospital that he said he for that news from thru my records. Anyways i hate it causes my eyes to blur, muscle cramps, extreme fatigue and sugar issues. He just throwing more pills at me telling me im a full diabetic now. I've never had diabetes ever no sugar probs, its that dang coreg. I threw all that junk out and been weaning off coreg ever since. Im down from 12.5 2× a day to a qtr of one lil over 3 mgs once at bedtime. Im done with drs and pills creating more probs then putting me on more pills id rather live without then and take my chances. Sorry about that long reply. Yes toprolxl or metoprolol would have made more sense. Never had side effects with those

This comment from @cynaburst is from five years ago. Had I seen it then, I'd have advised everybody that Coreg for hypertsion is not at all "a bit strange." I'm hypertensive, and my medical team has had me on Coreg for several years, with little if any of the side-effects mentioned in this discussion. Others have reported side-effects (or suspected side-effects that might not be that, but something else at work). In any case, Coreg is fine for some of us, and for those who think it is a problem for them, it's a matter for settlement with their medical team, not me or anybody else on Mayo Connect. One other thing that repeatedly comes up in Coreg discussions is FDA and medical care providers' advice to avoid abrupt termination of Coreg doses, since getting off the drug needs to be done in phases and in partnership with the patient's personal physician
