> if you use sympathomimetics combined with betablockers I would be cautious stopping the betablocker isolated and fastly. Atenolol and metoprolol are not very beta1-selective. A and M cause beta receptor upregulation by time thus increased sensitivity for sympathic stimuli if you stop taking the betablocker.

I thought atenolol and metoprolol are quite beta-1 selective (although none are completely selective)?
