Having several intolerable side affects with toprol (metoprolol) xl. also could not tolerate lisonoprol. are there any more tolerable meds to treat high bp ?

Yes: There are many classes of medications that are used to treat high blood pressure. You have only tried two of them. You can try a calcium channel blocker or thiazides next. Discuss with your doctor. Also, weight loss and low salt diet may help.
