I was on Toprol XL and it unfortunately didn't do anything to stop my SVTs.  Then again, I haven't had much luck with anything yet.  Tried the beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and now going on my 3rd dose increase of sodium channel blockers.  I didn't experience any side effects either though with the Toprol so I think it is pretty well tolerated. I hope you find success with this.
