What happens if you stop diltiazem suddenly in a heart patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop diltiazem: Not a good idea, you should discuss stopping any med with your physician so that she, or he, can explain the risks and benefits of doing this. Some meds need to be weaned off and should not be stopped abruptly.
