You should only reduce the Bisoporol under doctor's supervision and agreement. Having said that, I reduced mine from over 7 mg daily to 1.25mg daily but it took over eight months going down gradually and the GP reducing the prescription mg at a time. I feel entirely different; not so exhausted all the time, hands and feet not so cold and a lot more cheerful. The down side is my heart rate is a lot higher but I am prepared to trade this for a much better quality of life. The GP is not happy but says it is my decision..... If you search previous posts you will find a lot of comments about Bisoporol. Remember we are all different and what works for one of us doesn't necessarily work for another.

also meant to add a friend with AF tried to follow suit but it was a very poor outcome - he ended up with double his starting amount!
