Anyone having increasing bisoprolol withdrawal?

[Dogmom419]

After weaning off bisoprolol, I had some anxiety symptoms: edginess, jitteriness, nervousness, feeling like my insides were crawling up the wall.My doctor gave me 1 script for Xanax (low dose of 25 mg) to use as needed to get through it.

I have been off bisoprolol for 8 weeks now. At first, I only needed to take 1 Xanax on 2 different days. Then 3 weeks passed, and the same. But instead of getting better, the anxiety is getting worse. This week was HORRIBLE! I had to take a Xanax 6 days this week. Before I was on bisoprolol, I never had any type of anxiety.

Has anyone had this happen to them? I know for some people, it can take several weeks or months for your body to reset to handling the adrenalinein in your system the way it did before bisoprolol. But it's supposed to get better, not worse! I am feeling quite defeated!

Hi, call in Boots Pharmacy, Have a word with the chemist. There always helpful. The chemist will know all about medication.

I'm from the US, so I probably can't do that, lol. But thank you for responding. 😊

Your own pharmacy should be able to help

I am taking Sertraline for anxiety, so that may have helped when I stopped Bisiprolol... Might help you too?
