How did you wean off Metoprolol?

I had AFib and had it corrected with an ablation. After that I was on 25 mg of metoprolol per day but then worked with my cardiologist and I am now down to 12.5 mg per day. I have a meeting with her in the middle of January to discuss getting off of metroprolol in total. I did wear a heart monitor for 30 days that showed that I was no longer in afib. That was about a month and a half ago. You might think about a heart monitor and or an echocardiogram if you haven't done so recently. That might make you comfortable in your decision. I think you are doing the right thing to explore getting off of metoprolol.

Hi, thanks for you comment. Glad to see you are slowly coming down and your Afib isn’t showing anymore. Yes, I’ve done multiple echocardiograms, EKGs, a stress test and lots of blood tests and a holter monitor, but only for 3 days since each day was like $100. But with all of those tests, it doesn’t show any heart condition. My naturopath believes it’s a chronic infection somewhere so just running blood tests for other concerns ruling out lyme and other stuff. Only tough thing is being on metoprolol for over 3 years makes it much harder to get off because your body is so dependent on it and feels like a deadly situation at times without it.
