A member asked:
Is it necessary to wean off atenolol 75mg? am switching to verapamil sr 120mg. was advised that no wean is necessary. stop atenolol, start verapamil?

Depends: The worry about not weaning off atenolol 75 is that you can develop reflex tachycardia (rapid heartbeat) - the rationale in your case is that the verapamil should counter this making it unnecessary to wean.
