A member asked:
If i was given 25 mg metoprolol once at er to help my heart rate, can i safely not take anymore? i heard it's dangerous to stop it suddenly.

Probably.: certainly if it was over a day ago, it is out of your system. The body needs at least days to get used to it. One dose isn't going to get your body used to it. BUT the same condition that had the ER give it to you once is likely still there now. Not taking it will likely have those conditions pop back.
