The best alternative for Metoprolol would be ACE inhibitor like Ramipril or Enalapril are least likely to cause sexual side effects. Please get your self screened for mild depression and anxiety by Hamilton's Rating Scale for depression. If testosterone is normal, depression must be looked for as a possible cause of reduced sex drive.
