My wife was just taken off of metoprolol. without being weaned off. she is having high bp and fast heart rate does she need to be weaned off slowly?

Ideally yes: Abruptly stopping medicines like metoprolol can cause rebound tachycardia and hypertension (elevated heart rate and blood pressure). There may bevalid reasons to abruptly stop the medication. Your wife sholuld discuus this with her doctor.
