Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Slowly taper the dose in two weeks time. It will get excreted completely in another two weeks. Headache might be due to some other causes and not related to Metoprolol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
