Details:

... has me on half doses for four nights. Two completed but experiencing what might be withdrawal symptoms: Bp 177/80 but heart rate is only 63, palpitations, queasy, nervousness but also history of anxiety attacks. What are usual symptoms of withdrawal from Bystolic. Afraid to take my Xanax for anxiety because not sure if this is drug withdrawal or anxiety. Plus heart rate is fairly low. Any advice?

Hey Sally,

While you need to slowly decrease your dosage of Bystolic, classic withdrawal symtpoms is not a problem with Bystolic. The following link maybe useful:

I would double check with the doctor, but I think you are fine to take the Xanax as prescribed.

Best wishes,

Laurie
