A member asked:
Is it safe to stop abruptly taking 25 mg of metoprolol for 2 weeks?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Why are you on it?: That is a low dose of metoprolol, but suddenly stopping beta blockers can cause a rebound in blood pressure and/or heart rate, even possibly trigger angina in people who are unstable. Check with your doctor first.

No—> rebound effects: Metoprolol & other beta blockers should not be stopped abruptly: doing so can cause rebound hypertension, rapid heart beat, angina, heart attack (in those with coronary disease), or thyroid storm (in those with overactive thyroid). This class of drugs should be tapered gradually to prevent such rebound.
