I have been on high blood pressure meds since I was 26 years old. Monopril, enalipril, zestril, zestoretic, ALL THE PRILS!!! I can't remember what I was on way back then.

I DO HOWEVER know that I used to weigh 300 lbs, and only when I exercised every day at the gym, and ate correctly, did I lose any weight.

Then, at age 40, I became diabetic, and put on oral meds. Didn't lose any weight. Didn't diet either. Took metformin, which is not supposed to make you gain weight. Didn't do a darn thing for me.

Three or so years ago, I began the Lantus. I also got it into my head to eat correctly and walk every day. Sometimes, I even do the gym thing, when my arthritis permits. Sometimes it doesn't permit.

But if the high blood pressure meds are supposed to effect metabolism, THEN HOW COME IT DIDN'T DO A DARN THING FOR ME??

Maybe I should have been a mouse?????? lol
