A member asked:
I've been on 100mgs of lopressor (metoprolol tartrate) and 25mgs of hctz daily for almost a year and the weight gain is outrageous. any tips on how to start weaning off?

Weight gain: You need to speak to your physician (p) about your weight gain. Are you gaining water weight, edema (e), or are you gaining fat weight? If you are gaining e, perhaps you are ingesting too much of water and/or salt. You may also be helped if you ask your p to switch your diuretic to a loop diuretic, which can mobilize e better. If it is fat weight, it is not caused by the meds you are taking.
