How did you wean off Metoprolol?

@kdoll I would be interested to know which supplements you are taking. I have been prescribed Metoprolol (by my PCP although we did not talk about it) after the Zio monitor I wore (great little device!) for 14 days indicated SVT. I did fill the prescription but have not begun taking it because, for one thing, the dizzy spells have disappeared after months, and those were my primary symptoms….and yet taking beta or calcium blockers indicate dizziness as a main side effect!

So I am in wait and see mode.

Have been waiting a long time to get in to see a cardiologist so I can discuss and go on April 1st.

I also am one of those who knows my body best and I do not always concur with what the doctor ordered. Not all doctors appreciate skepticism but I think it is healthy. I have never taken drugs except for surgery for a broken wrist and that took about six months to leave my system, but those are heavy duty anesthesia drugs.
Plus I am 80, pretty healthy, but the SVT is a concern and I will keep exploring what if anything is necessary. Thank you for sharing your experience. It is really interesting to browse these forums because it is obvious that “one size fits all” is not always an answer to our symptoms.

@nm80 thank you for replying and for your question. I have been wanting to tell this to the group but I think they would call it advertising and I don't want to break any rules. I actually take several supplements from procaps Laboratories by Andrew Lessman. He is on HSN and he happens to be visiting this weekend. If you have the HSN and QVC app check the guide. He is so smart and he makes awesome vitamins! I take magnesium, calcium,
K2 mk7, healthy hair skin and nails, urgent energy plus energy and fat metabolism, taurine which I plan to quit when I run out, memory and brain, and acetyl L-Carnitine. I just ordered CoQ10 which is really important for the elderly especially. You should tune him in and really listen to him he explains everything the science behind his creations and he makes his own vitamins unlike any other company who just slaps the label on someone else's product. Just shop his line and choose what you think you need. You don't have to take as many as I do but I can't help myself his stuff is just that good! And they guarantee no stomach upset from any of them. All of his vitamins are in a small capsule form so easy to take and Digest. I wish you well hun.
