Stopping Carvedilol (Coreg): When will the effects wear off?

I don't have a cardiologist because I don't have any heart problems at all. I have yet to find an endocrinologist that takes my insurance. There's an incredibly limited pool of doctors I can see and this is the only one that didn't have an 8+ month wait list to get in and I have to have my thyroid medication.

Hello @shersh

I'm a little confused in that you said, "I don't have a cardiologist because I don't have any heart problems at all." However, you do take carvedilol which is a beta-blocker med which is generally used for heart failure and other serious heart problems.

Here is a link to Mayo Clinic's website that explains the use of Carvedilol, https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/carvedilol-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20067565?p=1 Please read this link.

I would suggest that you see a cardiologist if you feel that the med is not working well for you. Many of us have had problems with beta-blocker meds. I was taking a different one (Metropolol) but I also would wake up at night with very vivid dreams and not feel well during the day. My cardiologist switched me to Atenolol and I felt much better. It could be that a different med would work better for you.

Will you consider consulting with a cardiologist?
