An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of the medications; however, sometimes it does. Coreg is indicated for the treatment of mild-to-severe chronic heart failure of ischemic or cardiomyopathic origin, usually in addition to diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and digitalis, to increase survival and, also, to reduce the risk of hospitalization [see Drug Interactions (7.4), Clinical Studies (14.1)].
Then the heart pounding began to wake me up at night (it turns out my HR was down in the high 40s at night). I am quite anxious to try another medication at this moment after this experience. Carvedilol is used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It has been ten days off the Carvedilol. Yesterday I went back to the clinic for an EKG (normal) and some blood tests (including thyroid) and everything was normal. The issue with stopping Corge or Carvedilol all at once without giving the heart time to adjust can be dangerous. I am sleeping a lot better. Today it's still high, no difference. I was told that this is because it has a hourly increase in the blood and effect on the heart. I woke up from a few nightmares and I started to panic in bed, just woken up from sleep. For someone who was not in heart failure, it seems to me that would be the wrong drug to use though I am not a doctor. The issue with stopping Corge or Carvedilol all at once without giving the heart time to adjust can be dangerous. I was wondering if anyone has had a hard time while being on and going off Carvedilol (Coreg). We comply with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information - I had a very scary reaction, which is odd because I had been on it for a couple of years. I wasn’t too sure why little things were beginning to bother me. while I don’t feel 100%, I am doing a lot better- maybe 85%. Asked 25 Apr 2017 by Corkette Updated 25 April 2017 Topics high blood pressure, carvedilol, hypertension, dosage. How long do people stay on Coreg? How long did it take you to feel normal again? Not sure about coreg, but I have some other options for you. I´m feeling inspired to make some changes.
Coreg is a special type of beta blocker with extra properties that make it particularly useful in heart failure and which make the heart pump a little stronger. A longer form of the taper could be to take the usual dose daily for a week, then a half dose daily for a week, then a half dose every other day for a week, then stop. How should I take carvedilol (Coreg, Coreg CR)? My BP has always been pretty good, but since my 40´s it has gone up a bit (heredity factors play a role). I´ve been resting at home for a few days and reading a lot about diet, especially the DASH diet. The previous week was bad. At this point I started looking into the side effects of Carvedilol and I was seeing not only chest pounding, but in rare cases reported effects of nightmares, visual disturbances, tremors, anxiety. The experiences made me very nervous. I am now taking propanolol – 4 times a day.May I ask what heart condition you’re taking the medication for?Sorry, I failed to mention that my condition is a form of dysautonomia.May I ask what heart condition you’re taking the medication for?I have found that I need to take it really slow when I am going from one med to another. I am glad to be a part of this community. It has only been five days, but I am wondering if anyone out there has had similar experiences. For someone who was not in heart failure, it seems to me that would be the wrong drug to use though I am not a doctor.
It took me about 2 months to wean myself off. It is good that you are continuing to follow up with your health care team during this process so they can monitor your heart and blood pressure closely.”It is me again!
There are also other classes of drugs that are used to manage hypertension that might be appropriate as well.

What a shock to go from running...""Welcome @teatime, Great first post! If you drop it suddenly, the heart is stressing being left without it's ability to do it's job. At my last check (Feb 2016), and after wearing a 24 hour BP monitor, my cardiologist suggested I start Carvedilol 6.25 1x per day (quite a low dose) for the spikes and to keep the heart from getting too excited. I also know one does not simply stop a beta blocker, so we talked about tapering down. I tapered down for four days, and then I got in to see another cardiologist on Monday and he said just stop immediately. It took me about 2 months to wean myself off.
