I have been taking propranolol 40 mg and citapram 10 mg for 4 days. It is giving me misty vision and I cannot contact my dr because it's the weekend. Can I stop them cold turkey since it's only been 4 days?

Hello.

Stopping Citalopram should not be much of a problem since it's only 4 days and you will not experience much discomfort with the dose you are taking. But you need to be careful with Propranolol. You may try to reduce the doses in half, one drug at a time to see if you can point out which one is causing the trouble.

Regards
