Terrible Propranolol Withdrawal

2017-12-01 21:44:38
I have been using 60mg of propranolol for anxiety for 5months and I want to wean off. Whenever I lower my dose I feel terrible and even weeks of committing to the new dose of 50mg my body WON'T adjust. A cardiologist suggested I cold turkey propranolol while switching to metoprolol and then slowly wean off the metoprolol since it has less withdrawal side effects. I am worried I will still have the extreme restlessness, headache, and nausea if I cold turkey propranolol. Advice?
