Is it dangerous to suddenly stop taking Betacap TR 20, and can doing so cause side effects like increased anxiety?

Asked by Male, 30 · 6 days ago

It is very important not to suddenly stop taking Betacap TR 20 (propranolol). Stopping this medication abruptly can indeed cause withdrawal symptoms, including increased anxiety, a fast heart rate, and restlessness. This happens because your body has adjusted to the medicine. Please do not worry, as this is a common reaction that can be safely avoided. To stop taking it safely, your doctor will help you gradually reduce the dose over time. Please reach out to your prescribing doctor before making any changes so they can guide you through a safe, comfortable tapering plan.
