Weaning off of Metoprolol

Weaning off of Metoprolol

My husband takes metoprolol tartrate. He only has one month of medication left and refuses to go back to the Dr. How can I wean him off of the drug so he doesn't have a heart attack or something?

I came down once from 100 mg /day. I had 50 for a week or little longer, then 25mg/half pill/ for an other week or two.... then  the rest I  have left took every second day. I felt perfect for  3-4 weeks or so without it, then my BP went up over 200, so I was running back to my doctor.

Think about that if he also has High BP.

Good luck to him!
