Metoprolol or propranolol for racing heart and palps during withdrawl

My Md gave me a rx for metoprolol 12.5mg either 1 or 2 times daily  for withdrawal symptoms.

 

I have a fast heart rate so she thought this would help .

 

After reading reviews many prefer propranolol better . For WD symptoms

 

I know with propranolol you can used as needed  where the metoprolol you cannot and you have to wean off .

 

Anyone that has been  using or has used  these let me know which you prefer and if it helped

 

Thank you

Metoprolol comes in 2 types so one is extended release other is not.  Read all the warnings as each person is different.

Never taken metroprolol but propranolol is very helpful if your heart is absolutely racing.  Can take it as needed.  Telling you my experience, I did not like taking it often because it made me feel really dull and exacerbated my depression and fatigue.  I learned that I preferred having an anxious, racing mind with some energy and no depression rather than feeling lifeless and listless.

I’ve been on .25 metoprolol XL (Toprol) for years for an arrhythmia and I know it helped while I was going  through Xanax withdrawal. 

Thank you for all the replies !
