I believe you need to taper no matter how little you take. It is amazing how much tapering helped me I was again on 12.5 mg 1/2 of a 25 mg pill so I cut them in quarters and slowly tapered and it helped me. And I felt much better you don't even realize how hooked you are on those pills even at low dosage. I can only give you my opinion of what I did I was also told not to worry but I said it can't hurt to taper and it made getting off of it so much easier for me. Bummer I just reverted after the flu so I thank you for bringing this up so I will taper again when I get fixed enough to get off of it again. Thanks for shading very helpful for me!

This is my approach as well...if you think you'd like to taper, just for cheap insurance, then do it. Won't hurt, and shouldn't cost more if you taper with the last five or six pills left in the prescription. There is lots of anecdotal evidence that people have a hard time stopping metoprolol cold, and they're advised to taper. It works for them.
@dee2468 I was considering tapering off of Metropolol Succinate 12.5mg, but read that the FDA labelling does not allow further subdividing of a split tablet.
One tapering method I read about was to start taking the 12.5mg (split) tablet every other day instead of daily.
I intend to consult with my cardiologist on how to taper off of 12.5mg Metropolol ER.
