since my last update now taking bisoprolol 1.25 my dose every other day since last Wednesday not took one today had my appointment with doc this morning told her don’t think there doing for me. Said stop taking it I mentioned I worry about withdrawals she wants me off it and to start daily readings of blood pressure twice a day then go back The only thing I experience at present is a headache type migraine. Heart rate ok at present. After tomorrow’s dose I won’t take one Thursday see if I can go Friday we will see what happens she said don’t worry if heart rate goes up but said if too uncomfortable with palpations take one.

it’s nice to hear from you again missed you on the forum I am doing it slowly started reducing to half of tablet every other day from Thursday. Come this Thursday will stop if get too many withdrawals go on a quarter. The headaches only lasted 2/3 days when reduced to every other day I got them four days later we will see . Thankyou for your concern and I hope you are doing ok. I had to come off as they were causing extreme anxiety it was like man made.

Hello :-)

I can relate to you I am sure some of my meds are making my anxiety worse even though no one seems to listen to me that this can happen I am glad you have been listened to

You taper of like you are doing expect maybe a little withdrawal but I am sure it will pass

Let us know when you are of them and how you are feeling :-) x

I will do. Apparently statins affect me the same you can’t win.

Hello :-)

I know the feeling and sometimes wish I could take meds like I see some others do and not get side effects I take statins to :-) x

I took my last 1/2 of the L.25 on Saturday. Came Monday have to do blood pressure twice a day for a week. Monday wasn’t too bad heart rate up so blood pressure. Tuesday much better felt well a little tired. Pulse slightly higher not as bad as Monday today I feel as if I am still on them very anxious it’s early days yet but I won’t give in even though Doc says if it’s uncomfortable take one.

Hello :-)

I think just tell yourself for today if it is a good day or not so good day and hopefully if you take it a day at a time you will get there :-)

You have done really well so far and I hope you manage to do it :-) x

Hello :-)

Yes anxiety is not good at all but when meds make it worse it sends it to another level

I am not doing well at all but thank you for asking :-)

I hope that chamomile tea works :-) x
