"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 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."

"Ever since taking this, my throat has been swollen. I told the doctor, and he doesn't think it's from the Atenolol, but it didn't start until then. It's hard to sleep at night. I have horrible eye pressure, and it makes me anxious. I'm hoping I can switch meds soon. It doesn't reduce my pressure much at all."

"I am a 48-year-old male and have been taking 50 mg a day as directed for 6 months. My blood pressure is 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 20 years old and that this is the only medicine I take."

"I take a combo of Dyazide and Tenormin daily. Have been doing so for more than 30 years (80 now). I find this 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."

"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."

"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."

"I just started this drug, noticed heart rate regulated, and blood pressure and heart rate hasn't been this low in years, so far seems to be great. I am on 25mg - the lowest dose."

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