Brief Answer:
weaning from metoprolol

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are wondering how to wean yourself off metoprolol. You are on the small doses and the weaning will be quick and easy. I recommend starting by only taking one pill for 3 days and then 1/2 a pill for three days then stop. You should have minimal reaction or rebound with this weaning schedule.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
