Hi Tiffany: If you stop the nadolol, you'll have high hr again! your choices are: continue same dose, taper to a smaller dose, change to a different drug: atenolol, metoprolol, diltiazem, or verapamil are the usual suspects. The last 2 don't exacerbate asthma like the beta blockers do. Good luck! bew.

Instructions: Betablockers should not be discontinued abruptly if possible. If you want to stop it, you should discuss with your doctor and get instructions. If you are taking it for rapid heart rate, you might want to try a different betablocker instead.
