User Reviews for Atenolol

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: Atenolol has worked very well for me. My Dr. put me on an ACE Inhibitor at first I could tell that my blood pressure was still high. Atenolol is a beta blocker. This will be my fourth year taking Atenolol with no problems at all.

atenolol for Anxiety: Very good for stage fright, or fear of flying because it does not impair functioning, many people don't "notice" it at all, but are noticeably calmer.

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: I am a 38 year old female. Before taking atenolol I had high pulse and a fast heart beat (very scary feeling) also heart palpitations. I was a nervous wreck. I would wake in the morning with my heart pounding and out of breath. My doctor started me on atenolol 25mg about 2 weeks ago. I have never felt so normal. I can actually wake in morning and feel good. I am walking every day and on a strict diet with no problem. Thank goodness for atenolol.

Tenormin (atenolol) for High Blood Pressure: I take a combo of Dyazide and Tenormin daily. Have been doing so for more than 30 years (80 now). I find thiis combo works very well for me. I have always had a high pulse rate and a high diastolic pressure. They have been excellently regulated with this combo.

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: I have been taking it for several years and has worked pretty well to keep blood pressure down to below 140/70. Just recently my blood pressure has gone up to average 150/80 so will also be taking a diuretic, Hydrochlorothiazide.

I'm 17 and my doctor prescribed me atenolol along with fluexotine for my anxiety. When I would get to the doctors office my heart would be beating around 130 a minute and now it's around 70-80. So since my heart doesn't beat as fast i'm definantely more calm in stressful situations. But when I accidently skip a dose I notice that I feel really sick..that's about the only downside i've noticed with this drug.

Tenormin (atenolol) for High Blood Pressure: I took this medication for about a year. Felt severely depressed. Retained fluid. Switched medical insurance which resulted in my seeing another doctor. He changed me from Tenormin to Accupril. After one month, my world changed. No longer hated to get out of the bed each morning. Could now wear my wedding band on my ring finger. Tenormin was the wrong medicine for me. Wrote a letter to my prior doctor to let her know of my experience.

atenolol for Ventricular Tachycardia: I have had NO noticeable side affects from this medication. I did stop taking it for a week and found out how much I really do need atenolol. My heart palpitations returned with a vengeance. Post heart attack .. listen to your doctor.

Tenormin (atenolol) for High Blood Pressure: Was on this for about 6 years. Was dieting and exercising and lost about 57 lbs. My pulse rate dropped to about 48-60, had all kinds of heart tests, scary, did not find any issues for the heart thankfully but the atenolol was taking my pulse down too low. Switched to Lisinopril just today, pulse is already in the normal range.

Tenormin (atenolol) for High Blood Pressure: I am a 48 yr male and have been taking as directed 50mg day for 6 months, blood pressure now 125/80 and stable. I drink approximately 1 liter of whiskey every two days and notice no other side effects other than I cannot maintain an erection for as long as before taking this. I should mention that I've been drinking this amount of rye since I was 20yrs old and that this is the only medicine I take.

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: This medication has been very effective in treating my hypertension without all the side effects I have had with other hypertension medications.

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: I have been taking a daily dose of 25 mg Atenolol for two years. It has worked well in lowering my blood pressure. I have not noticed any side effects.

Tenormin (atenolol) for High Blood Pressure: Very effective. I would feel pleasant within 15 - 20 minutes of taking one tablet of Tenormin. No side effects felt.

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: I have been on atenolol for about 3 1/2 months. I am only 23 so my blood pressure wasn't too too high but for my age it was a concern to my doctor, so she had me start taking half of 25mg every night. It did help for my blood pressure. It also helped me get to sleep at night, since I have a slight insomnia problem. But I do have a problem with depression also and it seemed to make that a little worse. Since I started taking it I also went from about 130lbs to 146lbs in those few months and with dieting and exercise I still have not been able to get that weight to go away and it has also made me no longer have a sex drive.

Tenormin (atenolol) for Anxiety: This was prescribed for hypertension, and so far as I can tell I have had no problems with it. I cannot say whether it helps with anxiety, although my doctor said to take one when I felt as though my heart was racing. It seemed to help, but I do not know whether it was because of the Tenormin or the placebo effect.

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: This medication works really well; I don't believe my dosage is high enough, because my heart rate goes up late at night making it hard for me to sleep.

I have been on Atenolol for migraine prevention for almost 3 years. It has lessened the frequency of my headaches. A friend told me about this for helping w/headaches and I'm glad she did.

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: Muscle pain and shaking on left side of body

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: I was prescribed atenolol for hypertension and high heart rate (12 mg, once daily), unless my heart rate gets down to 60 or below. It seems great, in that I am "calmer" or more relaxed; but the only thing I am wondering about is the slow weight gain. My diet is the same now as it was before when I started taking it. I am calling the physician to see if that may be why.

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: I was taking atenolol for almost 2 years and the only thing I noticed was the inability to push my cardio workouts too far. I switched to Coreg CR and I felt cloudy, and felt like a rubber band was around my chest. I am trying Bystolic now. First thing I notice is that my arms fall asleep at night when they are bent on my chest. I will most likely switch back to atenolol in a few days if I still have side effects. Besides the wall I was hitting when being agressive with cardio-exercise, atenolol 25mg made me feel very calm.

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: Due to unstable high blood pressure, have tried many brands of medicines which did not work with me. Only Atenolol is perfect for my blood pressure.

Tenormin (atenolol) for High Blood Pressure: I just started this drug, noticed heart rate regulated ,and blood preasure and heart rate hasn't been this low in years, so far seems to be great. I am on 25mg - the lowest dose.

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: I did develop a pain on the inside of my ankle on the left side with this medication. When switched to metoprolol, the pain disappeared and reappeared when I went back on Atenelol. Nevertheless, it has slowed down my heart rate (I have sinus tachacardia) by around 15 bpm and I enjoy better blood pressure control on this medicine.

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: I've been taking this medication for 2 years now and it has been wonderful since the day I started.

atenolol for High Blood Pressure: I have been taking Atenolol for more than three years. I work out daily and although I cannot get my heart rate up as high as the experts want me to, at least at 72 I can work out. Feel great!
