Could my blood pressure medication Metolar be the only reason for my decreased sex drive, or could there be another cause, considering my hormone, fertility, and ultrasound tests were all normal and I have now switched to Cilacar?
Metolar (metoprolol) is a beta-blocker, a class of medication well-known for causing a decreased sex drive. Since your hormone, fertility, and ultrasound tests are normal, Metolar was highly likely the main trigger. Switching to Cilacar (cilnidipine) is an excellent step, as calcium channel blockers rarely cause these sexual side effects. However, remember that stress, anxiety, or even worrying about your performance can also affect your libido. Give your body some time to adjust to Cilacar. If things do not improve, please discuss this gently with your doctor to explore other lifestyle or psychological factors.
