one of the side effects of a toprol is panic attacks. I read this after i had one and had an overwhelming sense of dread. I know it is prescribed FOR panic attacks. I want to know WHY it would CAUSE panic attacks in others?

    Yes. Ask your Doc. maybe some additional potassium (vitamin K) and magnesium (Aspatate) would help with the panic and the palpatations.
