Patient: Hello, My name is Carol.I have just been put on 5mg of Bystolic....I find this drug strong for my system. I have taken seven tabs so far one a day. My question : I cannot reach my Dr. until the AM would it be OK to cut my dosage down to 1/2 this evening ( I would be taking 2.5 mg which I am used to taking when taking Blood pressure meds.....I do not feel good taking the 5mg....Thank you. Doctor: Hello Welcome to Ask a Doctor service I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.You have mentioned any symptoms so it can be decided that it is the drug causing the symptoms, moreover you can not change, stop or adjust the dose of drug on your own you need to have opinion form doctor or discuss this, let me inform you that what ever the feeling or symptoms you are having may not be due to the drugs but it could be just functional elements playing the role so need to worry about this.Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance.
