Anyone have experience coming off of 12.5 mg of metropol?

FWIW, I took 25 mg extended release Metoprolol daily for 4 years until early this year when I was instructed to discontinue. There was no tapering period. The only side effect I can report is that my resting heart rate gradually increased by about 5 bpm and my systolic bp increased (also gradually) by about 5 to 10 mmHg.

@rusjr I think that's the normal response to stopping the metoprolol. The same thing happened with my husband when his dosage of metoprolol was decreased. When my metoprolol dose was decreased, then stopped, it had no effect whatever on my bradycardia.
