I HAD TO STOP TAKING COREG BECAUSE OF THE SIDE EFFECT OF FATIGUE
THAT WAS CONSTANTLY PRESENT. DURING THE INITIAL PHASING IN OF
COREG I HAD SEVERE PROFOUND FATIGUE. THE SEVERITY FINALLY DECREASED
BUT NEVER TO AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL.
THE INFORMATION ON THE DRUG LISTS FATIGUE AND TIRENESS AS SIDE
EFFECTS BUT SUGGESTS THAT IT IS NOT SIGNIFICANT.
IS THERE INFORMATION ON THIS SIDE EFFECT OR OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD
TO STOP TAKING COREG BECAUSE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS OUT WEIGHTING
ANY BENEFIT?
THANK YOU,

I have been taking Coreg for 3 months,I am at the maximum dosage for my size
which is 50mg/day.The Improvement I have seen has been dramatic .
My heart is no longer beating out of control ,that in itself feels good.
But I am always weary with bouts of energy that cause me to overdo my
activities. and then my muscles ache all over. Does anyone feel a weakness
in the legs and a deep chest pain that seems to linger?
I would rather continue taking the medication and not lose hope for my future.
