Going off Inderal

Going off Inderal

I was diagnosed with LongQT five years ago. I have been on 180mg of Inderal LA.  I am now 39 years old and ready to go off the inderal. Do I need to ween myself off, or can I just stop taking it all together.
Thanks

Hello...

Was this an aquired form of LQTS or is a genetic result? I'm just trying to understand why you are going off this medication...Is this being DC'd as per Dr's orders?

Abruptly discontinuing any Betablocker medication is not recommended. Stopping safely requires tapering the dosage -- lowering the intake slowly and progressively over a period of one to two weeks. Do so only under the supervision of a physician.

Quickly stopping a beta-blocker can cause arrhythmias (heart rhythm disturbances), even in people without heart disease, and/or worsen angina, possibly even triggering a heart attack.

Good luck:)
