Hello!
Welcome on - Ask a Doctor- service!
I understand your concern and would like to explain that before you use Metoprolol would be better to check your blood pressure values and heart rate for a couple of days.
Your decision to stop the drug is right.
Regarding your anxiety, it would be better to try an anxiolytic drug like Xanax, etc. But before behavioral therapy or othef alternative should be tried.
Sports like yoga, aerobics, etc. would be helpful.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
In case of any further questions, feel free to ask me again.
Kind regards,

Detailed Answer:
Hello again!
I don't think that Metoprolol is the right choice for your anxiety. Checking a complete blood count and thyroid hormones level would be a wise step.
On my opinion, there are better alternatives to follow regarding anxiety control then Metoprolol as the first step.
Anyway, I recommend waiting the next medical control to decide the right management alternative.
You should discuss with you doctor on the above mentioned issues.
