I went off it over the course of a month, cutting in halves and then quarters, then every other day, etc. No problems
@dedema Hi, I was on Metropol since March. It was prescribed for me in the hospital. I did not know that was what I was taking until I went home. They added so many meds that I was not on before. I have never in my life felt this way before. This is all new to me and I am trying to learn and cope with afib and CHF. My bp runs low. So they put me on all these drugs that lower your bp and boy did I have side effects. My body is in total, total fatigue, so they tell me. Since I have come home, my PCP took me off Metropol, and now I have weaned off am Amiodarone. I feel so much better and can get things done around the house a little more.
Here are some that have become better: head buzzy becoming less, balance with walking so much better, no itching of my back and torso, out of breath not as much(COPD), and gaining more energy each day. Also, I have been sleeping better and longer. Of course, this is just me and everyone is different in how they react and handle it all. I take one day at a time and am thankful for a little progress back toward the way things were before.
I am retired from the hospital lab so now I am a full-time farmer's wife and gardener. This has slowed me down and I am not much help. I do not know if this rambling has helped or not but I hope you find the answers you are looking for. Please keep in touch as to your progress and in the meantime stay healthy. KLH
