i am a 43 yr old male.........i was put on 100mg a day of metoprolol and it did the job of lowering my blood pressure and heart rate. however after about a year of taking the meto my orgasms would take anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 hours to achieve. at first it was nice to go longer tham usual, but it has became a problem for myself and my wife. i sometimes think i will have a heart attack trying to release, we go thru bottles of lube to keep her from hurting, and my mood became very bad, i was looking for things to complain about, threatening people at work and so on. i started weening myself off meto 2 weeks ago my dividing the pills in half, and went to see my doctor this week. he prescribed lisinopril 10mg and had me divide my metoprolol in half again for another week. already my moods are 100% better, but i still have trouble achieving climax with sex in timely fashion. i hope that problem goes away soon. i am curious, am i the only male here having problems climaxing?

been off the metoprolol for about 3 weeks, and only taking one or two tablets of the lisinopril a week (only when bp is noticably high) orgasms are back to normal, mood is cheerfull again, no more depression, joints feel better, and itching has almost stopped. i go back to the doctor on 8-26. i will keep you posted.

Hi, I have been on metoprolol for about 12 years and I have noticed that my sex drive has been off, and a lot of weight gain. I am encouraged to read of your progress. My doctor has permitted me to reduce my dose, after a month I am now down to 50 mg daily from 100. I will try to get down to 25 and hopefully taper down from there. Wish me luck.

its me fredro. sorry i havent been on here in a while. ive lost over 20 lbs since ive quit the meto. also i quit the lisinopril. i bought a treadmill and a goldsgym weightlifting machine, started drinking more water and cut out the junk food. i havent felt this good since my late 20`s. the sex is better than its ever been. i believe if you safely ween yourself off this drug, watch your diet very closely, and excersise dailey, your lives will be so much better. my email addy is fredro33@yahoo.com if you have more questions or wish to coment or check up to hear my progress.
