Withdrawal symptoms: Bisoprolol - debilitating aches and pains all over body
Posted , 13 users are following.
I was prescribed Bisoprolol 2.5 in July this year (along with anticoagulant: Edexaban), for atrial fibrilation. I was fine for the first few weeks, but then I started to develop aches and pains all over and found yoga and pilates increasingly difficult. The aches and pains, particularly in my legs, just got worse and worse. Ten days ago, I went to my GP, who advised me to give the Bisoprolol a rest and see how I get on. I stopped taking the medication (but continued with anticoagulant) - and the almost immediate effect was a threefold increase in intensity of my aches and pains! All movement is a struggle, particularly walking up and down stairs, bending or squatting, sitting down and getting up. From an active , flexible, mobile woman, I now feel disabled and depressed!
I make sure I stay as active as possible and I walk everyday - but at the slowest pace! It is early days since I stopped taking Bisoprolol (10 days and counting) but I'm worried that these horrible symptoms will never go away! Anyone out there experiencing same or similar? Any idea how long these symptoms may go on for?

I went to cardiologist today. he said quit smoking, exercise 30 min a day. eat more vegetables. I told him I was taking 1.25 mg of bisoprolol. he said that's not much. so he does not want me on another bp med. he said do all that, keep a log of bp. eat low carbs follow up in 2 months he was not a happy camper when I told him my PCP put me on the bisoprolol.so I hope this works!
