Hello last Thursday I decided to slowly wean off propranolol 10mg. I am currently taking one on one off and it seems to be OK.  My question is this when should i halt it altogether.

    On the Bisoprolol forum, most cut the tablets in half, half again etc, some doing it for many months. I wonder if its a good thing to do it your way by missing a dose, then taking a full dose, very up and down for your system I would have guessed?

    Following your discussion as I'm looking to do the same, a bit more tricky with mine though as I take it in a slow release capsule form. 

    All meds are different so you may not need to taper very slowly as with say an antidepressant. I'm going to ask my pharmacist they are more knowledgeable than GP with drug interactions on the body etc, good luck
