Been on Lopressor since November- gained about 5 pounds. Never had weight problem before. Continue to exercise regularly, to no avail. Considering going off medication for fear of continued weight gain. Have decreased dose to 25 mg twice a day, but this hasn't helped.

Lopressor Chemical Information
metoprolol tartrate - The tartrate salt form of metoprolol, a cardioselective competitive beta-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist with antihypertensive properties and devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. Metoprolol tartrate antagonizes beta 1-adrenergic receptors in the myocardium, thereby reducing the rate and force of myocardial contraction, and consequently a diminished cardiac output. This agent may also reduce the secretion of renin with subsequent reduction in levels of angiotensin II thus decreasing sympathetic activation, including vasoconstriction, aldosterone secretion.
