Bisoprolol withdrawal symptoms

[Dogmom419]

Did anyone's withdrawal symptoms coming off bisoprolol get worse as time went on?I was on it for erratic BP. I weaned off bisoprolol 6 months ago. The only withdrawal symptom I really have is anxiety: jittery, nervousness, edginess. The first few months, the anxiety wasn't bad, very sporadic. But after that, the anxiety just seemed to slowly ramp up. And the last month, it has been horrific and I have no clue why. I'm not on any new meds that would cause this.

Also: I've never suffered from anxiety my whole life. The anxiety started after I went on bisoprolol and slowly got worse the longer I was on it so I told the doctor I wanted off (I was on it for 2 years at 5 mg).

Did anyone's withdrawal symptoms get worse the longer you were off it? And if so, did it slowly get better?

They say that beta blockers don't permanently alter your central nervous system. I'm starting to REALLY doubt that statement!

I would warn people about coming off bp medications. Need to know the proper weaning precautions. I stopped cold not knowing otherwise , and lost eye sight (diplopia, ptosis) that resulted in hospitalization. Okay now, but took months to regain vision. Now I do not stop any drug without understanding how to come off of it.
