How did you wean off Metoprolol?

thank you all for your replies. my main concern is that, although the medicine can have some helpful side uses, its main job, as i understand it, is to keep the blood pressure low. my fear is if it gets it too low? i mean it's been like three years since the incident and i never had a single discomfort to the chest etc. to alert me.

@vyronp a home blood pressure monitor might make you worry less. Consumer Reports rates Omron b.p. machines highly. The next time you see your doctor have your b.p. checked and tell him what you are worried about.
I am on metoprolol for my arrythmia and my blood pressure pre the betablocker was normal/low . It did drop lower as did my pulse but after awhile the body adjusts to the medication and in my case a mostly regular steady heartbeat.

I'd speak with your doctor. Remember, I'm on 350 mg Metoprolol Succinste and 25 mg Metoprolol Tartrate. The reason I jump into this thread is people worried about low doses of it. Blood pressure wise, do you get faint when rising from laying down? If you're on a stable dose, and not losing weight, and not introducing other medications, I wouldn't think you'd see much change. If you are dieting and losing weight, talk to your doctor, if you are taking new meds, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
