BP meds: It all depends on how the new drugs control your blood pressure. And also how the old drugs were doing. You need to keep a diary of pressures at various times during the day for about a week to make sure. And if you didn't do this while on the old meds, you have no idea how they were doing. Good luck.

Doctor is replacing my Atenlol 25 MG with Metoprolol 25 twice daily. I have read horror stories about abruptly stopping Atenolol. Should I be worried about abruptly stopping Atenolol even though it's being replaced with another beta blocker?
