How did you wean off Metoprolol?

I was on metoprolol Er 25 mg for about 3 months. My ep then lowered it to 12.5 and now I split that. How long do the side effects last for? I’ve been weaning for about a month now and it is still kicking my butt. Get lightheaded, nausea, been to the ER with tachycardia and they do the normal tests and all come back normal. Scheduled for an ablation on March 5 th to take care of this and the PVCs I’m having. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! I’m also on flecainide and losartan. Just need to get off all of these horrible medications!

I've been on Metoprolol ER for about 4 months. The hospital started me off at 50 mg December 1st then the cardiologist lowered the dose about 7 weeks ago to 25 mg. I started weening off April 10th. I've been taking one every other day. My last dose was on the 14th. I've noticed my heart rate is high when I stand and walk about the house at first but today everything is coming into range. I told my doctor about all the side effects I was experiencing from this drug but he didn't seem to believe me. I'm hoping after one week without Metoprolol I will be back to normal. Note: I have been walking a mile and a half every day for two months which I think helps.
