question: I am trying to wean myself off metoprolol 25 mgm. with my doctors help. I have cut the dosage in half every other day and am now going to half the dose every two days.  My bp seems to be staying okay for now and my pulse rate is still 68 to 82 but I feel lousy!  I am very anxious and feel really depressed---how long should I feel this way?  I am going on an ace inhibitor when I get weaned off the beta blocker because I just can't stand feeling tired, depressed, and fighting a weight gain.  Also, can I exercise while tapering off the bb or should I wait until things are stabilized?  Thanks for any help you can give me.  anxious in missouri
