Fortunately, you appear to be in the first group and you may not need medications in the future. You may experience an elevated heart rate and nervousness when coreg is first discontinued, but you should have no long-term adverse effects. Since coreg is a relatively new drug and since most patients on coreg do not have it weaned off, so there is not much data regarding how to discontinue this medication. I suspect that the dose may need to be gradually tapered down over 1-2 weeks, but you will have to check with your cardiologist about this issue. I hope you find this information useful.
