Has your doctor checked your potassium level?

They started me on 25mg , but after a month of still having episodes, they put me on 50mg and I have not had an episode for 11 weeks. Give it a bit more time and I'm sure you have a follow up.

I should add, that although I do not have full blown episodes, I still have indications periodically where I recognize symptoms accumulating, that if I were not on the Metaprolol, would have a different outcome.
