Lillian, its likely that you will continue monitoring during and after weaning...
Are you going to go off of Toprol with your physician's knowledge?
When I came off of that one, I started with one week at 25 mg daily (half dosage), then the following week, it was 25 mg every other day, and finally in the third week-no Toprol.
You might feel some effects as you drop down each time; specifically, expect your resting heartrate to increase a bit. For me, it was most noticeable about 3 days after I quit completely. I also noticed that my maximum exercise threshold increased substantially. The best analogy I can give you is that it was like somewhat took the chains off and I could now run at full speed again, as opposed to that attenuating effect from the action of the beta blocker on the heartrate.
