A MALE, 50 YRS OLD WITH AFIB AND TAKE TOPROL DAILY. I CUT MY MEDS IN HALF, LITERALLY. I BREAK THEM AND TAKE THEM. THIS IS NOT GOOD AS THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR TIME RELEASE AND BREAKING THEM DESTROYS THAT FUNCTION. BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW ELSE TO CUT BACK. ANY IDEAS? I REALLY NEED TO GET OFF OF THE HEART MEDS COMPLETELY AS THE SIDE-EFFECTS ARE TOO MUCH. SWELLING, BLOATING, CRAMPS, HAIR LOSS...I CAN'T STAND IT.
