Been taking metoprolol tart 25mg once a day for 3 weeks because of 90+ bpm. now down to my normal, which is 80 bpm. do i need a tapering schedule?

Ask your doctor: Your pulse might be down know only because you are taking your medication. Only the doctor that saw you knows your full condition and can give you the best advice about what to do next. Even if you taper the med down, (which might be ok), your heart rate could go back up when you taper or stop. Talk to your doctor first.
