Can Metoprolol Withdrawal Help Regain Sexual Drive And Potency?
A male friend of mine has been taking metoprolol for around 10 years now and he noted that he has low sex drive and at times impotent. I've read that metoprolol has this side effects. If he withdraws metoprolol, can he regain from his low sex drive and recover from impotence?

Hello
Metoprolol has so many side effects one of them is DYSFUNCTION /IMPOTENCE .
Since your friend used this drug for almost 10 years and he developed impotency .
Now regain of sex drive depend on many factors;
Age , if > 50 years less chance of regain.
Heart disease or blockage ( hypercholestrolaemia ) , less chance .
Regain is possible but for this consult a PSYCHIATRIST and get his opinion.
Good luck.
