Congratulations, Kumar, and may you have many, many more!

I am now about 2 1/2 years past surgery, and I will agree that life is good out here.

Congratulations. Some of the side effects of metoprolol can be helpful...I found it much easier to keep calm when my wife and 17 yo daughter had "discussions."

Tom - Anxiety control/reduction is one of the "off-label" uses of metoprolol. My daughter has worked in a mental health facility, and told me that sometimes doctors prescribed metoprolol for patients who needed just a little bit of "help" in controlling anxiety. I do find that I am more excitable since reducing my metoprolol dosage, but I feel better in many other ways since the change.
