A member asked:

I have on and off afib and other skips i am on 50 mg of atenolol and 180 mg of verapamil i want to come off verapamil how do i go about this ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor supervised: Coming off a rate control med shd be under the direction of a physician. Sometimes increasing one like atenolol will allow you to reduce the other (verapamil) or vice versa.
