I'm old enough that I should be putting on a couple. I got on the scale the other day.... 15 pounds! 15 pounds since November which I think is pretty considerable!

Has anyone had any success in controlling weight gain on a beta blocker?

I took Inderal LA for YEARS. I had to stop taking it when I found out I was pregnant. I never noticed a problem with weight gain while taking it though.
