Does Temporary Discontinuation Of Metoprolol Cause Adverse Side Effects?

i ran out of metoprolol today and since I have not gone back to see my doctor (because of working hours and travel) refill was denied. I m told you not supposed to stop taking this medicine suddenly. My question is how many days can one go until refill is acquired
