Trying to lower dosage of meds...

[jenp]

The last time I was at the cardio, he thought it would be safe to try and titrate down on the carvedilol (coreg) to help with the FATIGUE that I'm having. Just wondering, for those of you who have been able to titrate down on some medications or off completely, did you notice that you got some of your energy back once the dose was lowered?
Thanks.

when i was on the high doses, i definitely noticed feeling better in general when I would go down. i've been diagnosed with depression though which causes me a lot of fatigue as well.

Yes once I was off all meds I started to feel like the old me. Well, old me plus a toddler to chase around....so I guess I'll never feel like the old me before kids! ha! But defenitely felt much better and had more energy once heart meds weren't in the mix anymore.

Yes, definitely!! When I got off my meds I felt like a completely different woman it was kind of crazy! Hmmm come think of it maybe that's why my fatigue hasn't gone away! I just got put back on a BB to lower my heart rate (b/c the pregnancy and BP med was raising it) and I've noticed I'm really tired all the time even though I'm in my second trimester....sorry I went into a rant LOL. Good luck getting off meds!!

That is very encouraging. I am very hopeful that I'll at least be able to wean down on some of the meds! Thanks gals!
