Coreg and weight gain?

[huckfinn]

I have been taking Coreg CR, 10mg per day for 2.5 months, and I love it, compared to atenolol that I took for probably 6 years (from 50 mg to 100 mg).

However I have gained probably 15 pounds.....My diet is the same. I did not eat a whole turkey during the last holiday....

I am wondering if any of you have experienced the same? I surely hope not but..... Thanks in advance

I quess as the saying goes, our systems react differently to different medications. I am on Coreg 50mg per day and been on them for going on five years...no weight gain, just my poor eating habits...again LOL

Thanks so much I also started a new slow calcium channel clocker, Norvasc. It might be the culprit, maybe combine with the ACE inhibitor and Coreg.....The CR probably makes no difference...

Much appreciation
