A member asked:

Is 75 mg of metoprol succinate per day ( take 50 in the am and 25 at night ) considered a low starting dose? i am taking it for tachycardia caused by hyperthyroidism?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metoprolol succinate: Metoprolol succinate comes in four does 25, 50, 100, 200. The highest dose I have seen a patient on is 200. The dose depends on the patient and the diagnosis. So , 75 is not the lowest but not the highest.

I'm still working on tapering off metoprolol succinate 25mg. Currently on 12.5 mg once a day. Can I cut down the 12.5 by like a tiny bit like 1/16th every couple of weeks to avoid the side effects? It won't cause the drug to release faster?
