I am taking carvedilol and have gained about 9 pounds in a little over a month. This has happened as the doctor is increasing the dose. Has anyone else experienced this?

I had a similar experience with Diltiazem, only realised when I stopped it that much of the weight was fluid. You should let your GP know.

I have and he is going to try a check by increasing torsemide for 4 days.

Yes! I'm on carvedilol since September and have gained 12 lbs. I'm sure it would be more but I try to eat small portions. I gained 30lbs on metoprolol and it came right off when I stopped taking and switched to diltiazem. Unfortunately diltiazem did not control my heart rate.
