I think it's different for everyone. I am seeing some weight gain on 1.25mg (taken once a day in the morning) that is stubbornly refusing to shift, and I do think some of it is temporary 'water weight' as by the end of the day my fingers-knees-calves-ankles are a little puffy but by morning the puffiness is gone. Now, if only the real weight could be managed as easily ;)

But again, it's different for everyone - if you think the Bisoprolol is causing fluid retention you really need to let your GP and/or cardiologist know so they can check on it, and possibly adjust your dosage.
