Hi,
Please note that Metoprolol causes decreased sex drive. As you have stopped drug, take care of your blood pressure and heart rate as these may rise. For sex drive, take any over-the-counter multivitamin antioxidant combination. For back pain, get X-ray for lumbar spine. Start a calcium supplement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
