[Da...] Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 i take coreg, a beta blocker, for cardiomyapathy. I recently was so wiped out from it I couldn't go into work so I'm gonna stop it and see what happens. It does help for my anxiety symptoms but it just wipes me out too much. Anyone else stop a beta blocker, if so what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Yes, I've tapered off of Toprol. Nothing happened. I cut my pill down over two weeks and stopped. Just go slow so you don't get the rebound palps. Doc told me to just stop ct . No thank you. Not a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Me...] Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Diagnosed with para ventricular tachycardia. I stopped it b/c the electrophysiologist I saw said it wasn't life threatening. I use minerals to control it now. They work really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ky...] Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hey Dan, Yes, I was on a Beta Blocker called Lopressor. It gave me Insomonia,cuased irregular heartbeats,and made my blood preeure drop into dangerous ranges, When I quit taking it,I still had symptoms for several days until it all got out of my system. It may be useful for soime,but personally I will never take another Beta Blocker ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[tr...] Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I find I can tolerate propranolol (Inderal) if I take it at night, along with some melatonin (as they deplete that in the brain). I also take only 10mg (and half a melatonin, so 150 micrograms.) Yes, you definitely have to go slow if you are trying to get off them, or you will likely have tachycardia, and even chest pains. Heck, I had other places in my body ache. And, in benzo withdrawal, I think you have to go even more slowly. ETA: O forgot to mention that that is based on my experience of withdrawing, which I had to for a while to avoid feeling depressed and overly cold and to get some sleep. I used to be on 40mg tid.
