When I was first in AF, I took metoprolol for rate contol. It didn't work to control it, but by the time I stopped taking it I was taking 75 mg twice a day. My cardiologist changed my medication and I just stopped the metoprolol. Didn't have to ween off it. No problems.

@emo44 I have also been taking 12.5 mg of metoprolol for a year and four months. I just had a left and right atrial flutter ablation last Thursday and yesterday the nurse called and told me to start taking it as needed. Now I am wondering how I am supposed to know if I need it. Everything I have read says you should slowly wean off of it, but 12.5 already is the lowest dose. So I haven’t stopped it yet and I am going continue to take it until I see the EP on Feb 5.. I tried cutting a 12.5 in half but it didn’t cut evenly.

@emo44 I stopped taking it two doses, I experienced anxiety, to the point I had to call 911, the pharmacist told me that it was prescribed specifically sometimes for anxiety, my heart doctor does not agree with this, she will not admit what the pharmacist told me, two pharmacists
