How did you wean off Metoprolol?

I just want to say that Metoprolol tartrate is causing me a lot of problems. I have bad insomnia from taking 25 mg for 2 months now. It has been tormentful and I'm getting anxiety/ panic episodes. I was put on it to slow my heart rate down. I'm going to talk to my doctor about getting of this tomorrow. I know more side effects are going to come from me winging off it. I just hope I get through all this. I'm also having palpitations I guess. My heart will speed up 105 then 5 minutes later back on the 90's. I'm shacky when this happens. How can I start getting off this medication? This is awful. No sleep in over a week.

I was born with a 1 in a million heart birth defect that I didn’t know about until 2021 and I’m 78yo now. I wish I knew that an Electrophysiologist Cardiologist is a specialist that deals with heart rhythm issues. Regular Cardiologist simply prescribe Metoprolol for heart rhythm problems instead of referring you to an Electro Cardiologist. I ran into this issue with 3 different regular cardiologist and finally decided to be my own health activist. I did weeks of research before I stumbled onto an explanation of an Electro Cardiologist. That’s who every person on this forum should have for ANY heart rhythm problems NOT a regular cardiologist. This is just my opinion and not a diagnosis of your heart problem.
