Propranolol withdrawal

[Bruno89]

Hey guys. Been on 80mg slow release propranolol for about 4 months. GP on Monday has reduced it down to 40mg for 2 weeks then down to 20mg for a week then 10mg for a week then stop them. Any advice for me from anyone who has gone through this would be great as I'm worried about relapsing with the symptoms again. Wish in a way I had NEVER taken them to start with. Don't want another one in my life after this

hi Bruno , I have been on 80 mg propranolol since sept , just couldn’t cope with the side effects so cardiologist as changed the to Diltiazen just told to stop the beta blockers and start the Diltiazen day 2 and I’m starting to feel a lot better ! Pharmacist said it’s gonna take about a week to get out of my system ! Wishing you well with your withdrawal 😍

Hi! I have also been 80mg for around 5 months now and have started reducing it as the side effects became too much to cope with... I'm also very nervous about withdrawal... I feel generally over tired and have a persistent headache. I'm on the same tapering off schedule as you. I'm on day 4 now... I think everything I'm reading is causing me to panic more than I need to right now... I hope you manage ok with coming off of it!! I wish I'd never touched it in the first place too!

Believe me, Bisoprolol is worst. I withdraw from Propranolol with magnesium and potasium. But it takes weeks. You will have high HR and BP. But I didn't give up. I try to resolve this issue with natural remedy. I've been to a lot of beta blockers and on those alergic to beta blockers. All made me zombie. It's like I wasn't in my body. I don't want that anymore. How do you feel now?

Hi,

Just wondering if you can help

I’m withdrawing from 80mg propranolol at the moment currently on day 4 and just wondering if the magnesium helped you? I’ve read that it can help but never heard any success stories.

Thank you

did you find out if magnesium helped and did you quit the 80mgs of propranolol cold turkey? If so how long have you had the withdrawal symptoms?

Did you withdraw bisoprolol?
