How did you wean off Metoprolol?

When I first started taking betablockers for a non-sustained ventricular tachycardia, the medication would make me extremely sleepy and sometimes brought my pulse down below 50 and lowered my blood pressure too much. It is 2 and 1/2 years later and the metoprolol no longer has that effect. It took about four months for the side effects to go away.

That’s good to know. I started on a Beta Blocker for Supra Ventricular Tachycardia & stopped after about a week because of fatigue. The SVT only happened when I went for run, so my solution was to stop running (I do a lot of walking now). That was 2 years ago. Recently decided to go for ablation so I can run again. Just had Echogram (sp) & 14 day Halter and next is consultant to see if I am a candidate for ablation.
