I've been using beta blockers for my anxiety, mainly because of heart palpitations. I'm thinking about stopping them, but I'm a bit anxious about the right way to do it safely. What's the best approach to taper off them without causing issues?
To safely come off beta blockers used for anxiety symptoms like heart palpitations, it is important to gradually reduce the dosage under the supervision of your healthcare provider. Abruptly stopping beta blockers can lead to rebound symptoms and potential complications. Your doctor may recommend tapering the dose over a period of time, such as reducing the dose by 25% every week until you can safely discontinue the medication. One common beta blocker used for anxiety symptoms like heart palpitations is Propranolol. The dosage and tapering schedule may vary depending on your individual circumstances, so it is important to follow your healthcare provider's guidance closely during this process.
