In terms of weight gain, the beta-blocker has had no effect. My weight has stayed exactly the same. I am, however, on a low dose (25mg) of metoprolol every day.
Reclast has been suggested as an option. Right now, I prefer staying with the side effects I've grown accustomed to. My doctor told me because I am thin, I would be able to get away with an infusion of Reclast every 18 months as it would stay in the system that long. I also prefer the speed and ease of an injection as opposed to drug infusion via intravenous. Often routine bloodwork gives me localized phlebitis so this method worries me.
Good to know you tolerate Reclast.
