Common Questions and Answers about Carvedilol withdrawal symptoms

What symptoms are you having that you think are withdrawal symptoms? And you know, even when you are on a drug for a very short period of time before it even has a chance to start working so it hasn't yet really affected your brain all that much, you should still taper off rather than quit abruptly just to be safe. But it would again be very unusual for there to be withdrawal symptoms from such a slow dose for such a short period of time.
Hi there. You seem to be stressing regarding the Echo result? Its a very good result and you should have confidence in your doctor and maybe try relax a little bit? Maybe the Beta blocker your taking is causing side effects? They can do. Write down all your symptoms and go back to your doctor. If you plan stopping the Beta blocker, caution is advised. Suddenly stopping this medication is not advised, Slow reductions over time is necessary.
My dad was recently diagnosed with CHF and was given Carvedilol. He is taking 12.5 mg twice a day. His blood pressure is well controlled now that he is on the pill, but there have been 3 times when his blood pressure drops way too low and he feels like fainting. Is that normal?How long does it usually take to get used to the drug?
I am on 6.25 mg carvedilol twice a day. I am not physically restricted - I walk 1 mile or more day and do 10 minutes of other light exercises most days. My BP runs under 120/80 most of the time. I understand carvedilol helps prevent stiffening of the heart muscle and can help restore LV function to some degree. How specially, so it do this? What is the biochemical mechanism?
Cardiologist understandably wants me on the highest dose of carvedilol for maximum benefit but I just cannot take the doses he wants due to extremely low blood pressure 80s/50s, dizziness, weakness. I've been on 6.25 in am and 12.5 in pm and doing just ok physically on these doses.
Well last night I couldn't get my BP up so I only took 6.25 in the pm. I feel so much better today-bp is up and I've got more energy and am much less foggy.
First observation I know is correct, Coreg and Carvedilol are the exact same drug, except Carvedilol is the generic form of Coreg. Increasing the combination would mean over 120mg, an unheard of dosage. You are already taking a gorilla dose and that can cause a drop of EF in my opinion. EF ratings fluctuate. I'd ask for a BNP test that is used to determine the level of CHF one has. Usually less than 100 indicates no CHF.
I was put on carvedilol, after covid, when I developed heart palpitations. After all the tests were done, they didn't find anything wrong. My doctor told me to stop carvedilol. So I did what he told me. And it has been an awful
3 weeks. I asked if I was having withdrawals from this medicine, He didn't think so or if I was it wouldn't last long. I know that the medicine is out of my system but has my body had time to readjust from it? I was taking 12.5 2X a day for 5 weeks.
I'm a 31 year old male with high blood pressure, anxiety, and a few recorded PVCs. I recently had a stress test with some ST depressions, which the cardiologists suspected to be a false positive. Nonetheless, to be on the safe side I was given a nuclear stress test - everything turned out just fine, my cardiologist said my heart is perfectly normal. The only problem was the high heart rate - when I went to get on the treadmill my heart rate jumped from 90 bpm to 145 bpm.
I have recently been prescribed Amlodipine-Benaz 5/10 MG capsules for treatment of hypertension. However, my resting pulse rate has consistently been in the 90's and increasing into the 100's at time, so I have been prescribed Carvedilol to help control the heart rate. My question is, doesn't Carvedilol control hypertension as well...Why should I be taking carvedilol in addition to amliodipine?
Post MI we have great data for both beta blockers and statins. For carvedilol post MI with an abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction the benefits are both for mortality and to help the heart remodel to a more normal shape and function. The minimum dose shown to be of true benefit is the 6.25 mg, and I would even suggest increasing your dose instead of decreasing it. For statins, they too decrease mortality and need for a repeat stenting in the post MI period.
The doc allowed me to cut the 20mg tablet in half until our next apt at which time he prescribed Carvedilol 25 mg twice a day. Anyone have any insight as to why he might have done that? Particularly since the 10mg Bystolic tablets seemed to be the “sweet spot” in terms of tolerability. And the Bystolic worked very well for my BP. I am a 41 year old male.
5 weeks ago I had a mild heart attack and received a stent in the one veinous graft (the 3 arterial grafts were perfectly clear). I have been placed on plavix and 6.25mg 2x/day of carvedilol - and the side effects of carvedilol is my concern.
First is the feeling of lightheadedness, which was severe at first, but still remains.
70 year old, white male. I have what I believe are classic symptoms of red scrotum syndrome. Red scrotum from base of penis to my anus. Darker red/purlple mid-line skin on scrotal sack. Burning, no itching constantly. I have used various soaps and a topical shea, chamomile & aragon oil ointment with little to no positive effect. In fact, this seems to be getting worse. I have been recently prescribed 3 new blood pressure medications...Telimsartan, Amilodipine and Carvedilol.
t know what Dilatrend is--it may be diltiazem. You might ask the doctor about a beta blocker such as carvedilol--which has been shown to improve the left ventricular function. The better the LV function the better the prognosis.
I got sick a few years ago and it wekened my heart. I take Coreg(Carvedilol) and Lisinopril. I still want children very badly and was told that basically, there were meds that I can take instead of Lisinopril, but I would have to stop taking Coreg. Of course, I would just have to see how I would do without Coreg... Are there any alternatives to Coreg?
It was found that SSRIs interfered with the Tamoxifen that she was taking. Both drugs have serious withdrawal symptoms if stopped for any reason, and it can show up within as little as 24 hours from ceasing the medication. I've seen these symptoms in my wife when she was ill and unable to hold food or her meds down. It is not pleasant.
Coincidentally, just last week, she decided that she had had enough of the Effexor, and switched back to Paxil.
