How did you wean off Metoprolol?

I have a persistent cough. And, I take it to slow my heart rate due to leaky heart valves and afib. When I try half a dosage, I don't feel as well, and get scared and go back on the regular amount of 25mg which is a low dosage. My sexual function is about non existent along
with my husbands impotence which he seems to like, not that it matters at 73 years. Also my memory is poor and I forget stupid things. Most of my conditions are a combo of so much of life beating on me for 73 years. I don't see how we can separate things. Symptoms.

Our brains age and many ‘elders’ and ‘Not so old’ have some memory loss.... (my friend in her fifties).
With Mild Cognitive impairment we can lead a an active life: carry a note pad and pen! I keep a pad near our phone and in purse or pocket.

There are meds now that HELP with memory ...
and with a good doctor’s help we stop taking prescriptions that caused! changes in memory and mood.

Thank God I found a neurologist who said:
“Stop taking Clonazapam.” He referred me to someone on his team who helped me with a slow titration off of Clonazapam... and added another med to HELP with memory.

I am still trying to compensate for not remembering... but you can find aids: note pad, calendar, a kind!relative or friend who does not say: “ You already told me that!”
I try to keep a daily phone log/calendar: really helps!

All the best to you. You are not alone.
Don’t forget to exercise if you can: walking,
Yoga, singing, 🖼 Art?
