Weight gain, sluggishness, memory fogs. I've been on Toprol for ...

How are things now? I'm taking the same drug only 100mg. I've repeatedly said that my weight gain is not from over eating or lack of exercise.

OMG, What a difference life is without Toprol in it! She got ticked off at me because she felf I was undermining her however, she agreed to take me off of it, SWEARING that it was NOT the Toprol. Well, she was weaning me off of it at first but started me on Triamterene 37.5mg/hctz 25mg. The FIRST day on the new pill, I lost 3 pounds. Now I know the new pill's side affect is like a diuretic but SHOOT! THREE POUNDS in one day? After that, my weight fell off like you would not believe. AND I quit exercising!! The only real change I stuck to was drinking mostly water all day instead of tea or pepsi. I lost a total of 22 pounds by (mostly) quitting Toprol!! Of course I finally hit my brick wall, I have like 3 or 4 more pounds I'd like to lose but I'm feeling prettty darn good in my shoes right now, lol. And I've KEPT it off:). If weight is an issue in your life, Toprol is something you really want to stay away from:). JMHO.
