User Reviews for Atenolol

atenolol: 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: 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): 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: 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.

Tenormin (atenolol): 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: This medication has been very effective in treating my hypertension without all the side effects I have had with other hypertension medications.

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

Tenormin (atenolol): 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: 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.

atenolol: 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.

atenolol: Muscle pain and shaking on left side of body

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

atenolol: 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!

atenolol: I have been taking this medication for 8 years now and have not noticed any side-effects. My blood pressure has remained stable the entire time I have been on this medication.

atenolol: 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): 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: I suffered with slightly elevated blood pressure and migraines for 12 to 15 years. After a trip to Mayo Clinic and being put on beta blockers my blood pressure was normal and no headaches. I have now been on Atenolol for 10 yrs or more with a total of 47 yrs on various blockers with minimal side effects. I don't believe Doctors use this treatment often enough for migraines.

atenolol: My blood pressure reduced significantly and quickly just days after first starting this medication. With two younger children and staying home all day with them, this medication is truly a lifesaver. I don't like taking pills however dedicating precious time to go on a diet and exercise was not an option.

atenolol: Been taking Atenolol many years. I have an extremely difficult time keeping my weight down, bad metabolism. I needed to increase the amount to 50 mg to get a good blood pressure of 120/70. So now will probably gain weight. Will change the extra 25 mg Atenolol to something else soon. Wish I knew exactly what would work for the extra. I am writing this after reading all the helpful comments here.

Tenormin (atenolol): I was taking Tenormin for about 3 years before I had an episode of chest pain. After tests it was determined that I have a myocardial bridge. At that time, I asked the doctor to change from Tenormin to something else, as I had frequent strange dreams. I now take Tiazac, and while my blood pressure seems stable, I have spells of tiredness, migraines and less frequently than before, strange dreams.
