I have cut my Emconcor 2.5mg in half for the past week, and I take it in the morning. I am not feeling any ill effects from this reduction (no more than the side-effects from the drug itself, anyway!), so how soon can I reduce it further?
Would increasing the period between doses help as well as cutting the tablet? So take at breakfast one day, then lunch the next, etc?
Thanks.

So, I was a week on half dose, then decided on only two or three days on quarter dose, thinking I wasn't getting any problems as I hadn't been taking them very long. Today I have had palpitations for most of the day, not helped by lack of sleep and having to fast for a ct scan this morning. I ended up taking one of my old propranolol that I was given last year to take as needed. Not sure if that was the best idea but needed to get pulse rate down as deep breathing was not working. Hope these withdrawal symptoms end soon. Cannot contemplate taking these things long term! Will speak to cardio next week.
