Un cardiólogo me dijo que dejara de usarlo, pero escuché que no puedes dejar de usar algo así de golpe. Gracias de antemano a cualquiera que responda.
¿Puedo dejar de tomar propranolol (10 mg cada 8 horas) solo dos semanas después de haberlo empezado?
Todo lo que puedo decir es sobre mi experiencia. Sentí que podía manejar sin ellos todos los días, pero los tomo cada dos días. Le dije a mi médico y me dijo que no los dejara de tomar de golpe, sino que me fuera reduciendo. Puede que no sean adictivos, pero podrías tener algún tipo de síntomas de abstinencia. Ahora tomo uno cada dos días. Pero eso es lo que yo hago, tú tienes que consultar con tu médico.
After just 2 weeks you may be ok just stopping it, but just as a precaution I would drop the dose to have for at least a week, then only twice a day for a week, etc. That's a fast ween, but it's better than just stopping. 2 weeks is probably not long enough for your body to become accustomed to the drug, but still ween just in case.
I was on the same dose as you and dropped one easily. Two days later I dropped another but had horrible side effects the following day so increased the dose again. I've not plucked up the courage to try again but will later this week.
I would ween off very slowly. Propranolol is a tricky med. If your doctor doesn't give you any advice, I would try 10 mgs every 16 hours for a week then every 32 hours for a week and continue this pattern. You have to go by how you feel. If you get bad side effects, you will know you are weening too fast. My experience is that it doesn't hurt to go slow and give your body time to adjust. that is my experience. You have to use your own judgement.
