Lopressor and drugs

I have been taking Lopressor for 25 YEARS! Yes as with all drugs there are side effects, but this drug is VERY safe and long term use is VERY beneficial. Takes about a month for your body to adjust then you should be fine. Is in the older-class of drugs and is very safe. I take 50mg twice a day. No problems here, and its one of the less expensive drugs for high blood pressure and heart medicines around. Good luck! Im a advocate of Lopressor.

Is anyone besides me gaining weight on Lopressor? I was put on it Aug. 2002 and by January, I had gained 10 lbs. My Dr. says no it doesn't. I work with several nurses and they say yes it does. I have also atarting reading Dr. Atkins Diet book and he says that along with Lopressor, Corgard and Inderal will make you gain and will also make it very hard for you to lose weight while on these 3 drugs. Anyone else haaving this problem? Does anyone have any idea which medications for High B.P. won't cause weight gain? Thanks glenda
