RecipeForDisaster Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Did you guys know there is a discount card? I am working on that... cardiologist says to just start at 5mg twice a day. This is replacing metoprolol so I thought I had slowly taper down. Hmmm. I was hoping to eventually be on a little of both, since metoprolol helped my pounding heart so much. I have seen other people on both. Does anyone else have experiences to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8d Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 I have been on this twice. I don’t remember why I stopped it the first time but probably because I developed hypertension which is now only when supine. I don’t know about the discount card but the first time I started this I got it from Canada. It was easy, I just needed a paper prescription and not terribly expensive. My insurance covers it now. I stopped carvedilol recently in the mornings and only take 2.5mg of ivabradine. Even that caused palpitations for a week or two. I found starting at a low dose and working up slowly effective or the palpitations were awful. I take carvedilol in the evenings but not ivabradine but that’s for the supine hypertension overnight.
