quitting beta blockers !
after getting diagnosed with pots about a year ago, i’ve been on two different beta blockers, but i don’t know if the results are worth it…
i don’t think my day-to-day life has gotten easier (though my bp does look better when i get it checked). i feel like ive completely lost my hunger urge 9/10 days (yet somehow, with this and eating 1000 calories a day, i have gained ~15lbs in a year, sweat every single second of every single day no matter the weather or activity, and have a permanent sense of nausea / acid reflux.
i’ve finally decided im going to quit my 25mg of metoprolol a day dosage after foolishly taking it for ~8 months with the idea that my body just needed more time ! luckily, im not relying on this for any psychiatric stuff (i have other meds for that), so the only withdrawal i’m looking at is physical seemingly.
i would love if folks could let me know how their quitting / withdrawal experience was, if they lost weight / how that looked for them, and if things get better :)
