Toprol-XL and yahoo

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?

I have been on toprol-XL for aprox. 1 + years. I chose to take this medication at night because of massive headache's. I also have most of the symptoms that everyone on this site has. I am going to stop this medication immediately. Have no clue how I am going to feel or what the concenquences are going to be. Hopefully no more massive headache's, and rapid weight loss. those are my two complaints regarding this medication. Thank you for this space to speak my peace. Patricia age 61

i've been on toprol xl since november 2004. i have gained 15 lbs!! i've always been the same size my whole life (i'm 28) and suddenly none of my clothes will fit. working out doesn't help either. i called my heart dr about this, & he, of course said, this medication doesn't cause weight gain. maybe you're just getting older!!! what?? i also have abdominal pain & gas all the time when i never did before this drug. i'm also tired all the time, and like someone else said, my short term memory is affected. i took myself off of it a week ago. can someone tell me, will the extra weight come off naturally now that i'm off ot it???? please email me if you know.
