A member asked:
Metoprolol and clonidine. which one should be tapered off first.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: you should only taper medications under the direct supervision of your physician. So if s/he determines that you need to discontinue one or both of these medications, they will give you specific instructions. It can be extremely dangerous to go off either without professional advice. In other words don't stop your meds!
