Start Amlodipine: There is no reason for tapering metoprolol. You should start your amlodipine today.

I'm still working on tapering off metoprolol succinate 25mg. Currently on 12.5 mg once a day. Can I cut down the 12.5 by like a tiny bit like 1/16th every couple of weeks to avoid the side effects? It won't cause the drug to release faster?
