Coming off bisophorol

[Kbuck1234]

Stopped my daily 1.25mg of bisophorol 5 days ago following clear holter and stress test. All ok but yesterday had real noticeable PVC's - any one else had this, is this a normal reaction to coming off this?

Thanks

My understanding is that you need to come off beta blockers very slowly. You may need to back onto them if your symptoms return. 1.25 is a tiny dose. I am on 2.5 just to give my heart a wee bit of help. It reduces my rate from about 80 to 65.

I'm trying to reduce my 5mg Bisoprolol to 2.5 daily in the quest to overcome the fatigue but over the weekend I also have had problems with arrhythmia again so have raised it to 3.75 to see how that goes. I'm assuming this is 'normal' for me and shows that I need the higher dose but maybe it's different for you? I'm not sure what a 'holter and stress' test is - I will investigate!

Oh, right...I didn't know that was the proper name for it!

What time of day/night do you get these PVCs and how does that relate to the time of day you take your bisoprolol?
