Bisoprolol withdrawal

After 9 months on bisoprolol it was a long journey of ups and down, I one off month and slowly regaining my strength... Withdrawal symptoms are crazy just have a pill close to you when you have anxiety or symptoms. It made me feel better, the idea of having it close to Me walked but I didn't dare take another pill. I'm now one month off bisoprolol. Week 2-4 is your hardest

Bisoporol affects both BP and HR. Have you checked these? If not you could do yourself more harm than good! Have you spoken with your GP?

I have been on a very low dose of Bisoprolol and am experiencing extreme fatigue in the evening , which you would think may help you sleep but nope… I am having worst sleeps ever . Also, I was never warned that discontinuing could cause anxiety… I don’t even see it listed in one of the side effects. I have never had anxiety, and I certainly don’t want to get it now on top of everything else.

Why did you come off it? I'm on it been on for a year? Fatigue and sleep is not great. What are you on instead. I had HA last year, 4 stents and lucky to be alive so I'm wondering why and what else do you take for heart rate and bp???
