Has anyone quite taking? My Dr said just quite taking it. No weening? He just said stop taking!

Margaret -- Good morning.

When I stopped my beta blocker several years ago, I cut the dose in half for a week to see how I would react to it. Then cut it in half again the following week, and then stopped it after that.

This was a conservative way to discontinue the med.

NOTE: I literally had to cut the tablet to accomplish the above.

Good luck!
