Oh ok good to know this information for how long did you took 25 mg how many months before you decided to stop completely did your doctor reduced you to cut the 50mg succ in half or to the regular dose of 25 mg metoprolol tartrate? Did the myocardial happened before you was put on metoprolol or after ? did you had any heart conditions previous metoprolol or after I don’t know why the nurse told me to do 6 days of half of 25 mg then stopped but after she said so 3 days like literally trying to make me have a heart attack I did 7 days straight 25 mg half and stopped yes my anxiety get worse because I read before that stopping this too soon can cause a lot problems did you had the myocardial after you stopped taking the metoprolol

My doctor told me that the Metoprolol ER shouldn't be cut in half even though it had the line in it to do so. When I checked with a friend of mine who is a nurse she told me the same thing. She was the one who told me instead of cutting them in half to start taking them every other day for a week then every third day for another week and then stop. But I decided on my own after the first week of every other day to just stop on my own.
I was put on Metoprolol after the heart attack. I was on a ventilator for about the first 10 days in the hospital and was given everything through an IV. After they removed the tube from the ventilator and they deemed that I could swallow I started taking it in pill form.
