I’ve been on and off it several times using this dosage stoppage. From 50mgs daily, I went to 25mgs in the morning and 25mgs evening. I went down to 25mgs in the morning only, always with food for a full week, to see if there was any after effects. From the 25mgs daily, I skipped to 3 times a week, like M/W/F for a full week. That way you give your body two full weeks to adjust. Since Metoprolol is an adrenaline inhibitor, it slows up the production of adrenaline. The chemical that makes you flinch when a surprise triggered the reaction. Without Metoprolol, the only after affect was to flinch each time something happened to startled me.

@erodla, I moved your question about weaning off metoprolol 25 mg twice daily to this existing discussion:

- How did you wean off Metoprolol? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/weaning-off-metoprolol/

@erodla, You're right to ask questions. The FDA warns "Don’t stop taking metoprolol suddenly. If you do, you may experience worse chest pain, a jump in blood pressure, or even have a heart attack. Stopping metoprolol is not recommended. If you need to stop taking the drug, first talk to your doctor. Your dosage should be gradually decreased under a doctor’s supervision."

I suggest you tell your doctor about your concerns. It is possible that because your dosage is low enough, the period you were taking the drug was short enough and your condition is stablized that you are okay to stop. But I think it's worth sharing your concern.
