Need to get off of Beta Blocker.

I know you are going to say that I shouldn't come off my beta blocker without the advise of my cardiologist. I am taking ACEBUTOLOL 200MG once a day. I was told to take it twice a day but I beleive that the least amount of a drug that works is best. I have been taking them for about six months now for symptomatic PVC's. I feel them very well and the doc wanted to try the beta blockers to see if it would make them less noticable. It did but at the expense of my energy. I feel very fatigued all the time. Now I am willing to accept the syptoms (symptoms) to get my energy back. My question is, what side affects could I experience when I stop taking this drug and what are warning signs that I am having a particular dangerous side affect?
Thanks in advance.
