I am using Tenormin, Atenolol 25mg once a day far more than 20 years. Its control my high blood pressure and irregular heart beat. I found the best medicine for me. I Neve have side effects.. thanks
Did nothing for blood pressure, have changed medication two weeks ago and feel so much better like a cloud has lifted. Made me feel miserable and anxious all the time. If you are on this and don’t feel right please ask to have it changed!!
Was prescribed this for anxiety. It works well for that. Been taking it for two weeks. My heart rate does drop a little. My blood pressure is normal. I don't think this would be a medication I would rely on for long term.
I use it for migraines and headaches, overall it takes away most of it, with only a small residual headache (I cant speak for others who use it for migraines, as I have a brain tumor and my headaches and migraines vary) I did have a serious episode of bradycardia taking it though.
This medication is Terrible, I was put on it 2 years ago , I regret it, I was dizzy , lightheaded, and nauseated always! The second I get up in the morning it starts up, it makes my anxiety go crazy, please don’t take this terrible chemical.
The side effects do not outweigh any benefit this medicine serves
Everything seems to be going ok besides the fact that I'm having horrible nightmares.. kinda scared to sleep now unless im accompanied by partner, and also I'm on 50mg of this pill but it stops working by 4pm and I'll take it around 11am but other than that everything is better than what it was when i got admitted to the er, wouldn't want to stay on this though my palpations are not masked as I thought it would be but it is man made so I'm just thankful it's helping me stay alive I can't complain too much :)
Have Arterial blockage at heart, installed stent, medication helped vey much. tended to lower HBP, cut dosage in half, HBP went back to "normal" level.
Worked well to drop my pulse and BP but the side affects were intolerable for me. Extreme constipation, brain fog, numbness/tingling in hands and feet, impaired short term memory, false hypoglycemia symptoms, rolling jitters, anxiety, and adrenalin surges, increased depression. It also raised my fasting glucose by 10 pts (I am not (yet) diabetic).
This medication has caused me liver issues and I should never been given this medication
Started this med 22 years ago aged 55. Started on 50 mg after 6 months felt weary constantly and doc halved the dose. I have always been active now 77 still very active ride bike for an hour every morning.(just getting old)
Please read - I think I can help people. I am not one to write reviews. This medicine gave me my life back. It even improved my POTS symptoms significantly. Ask doctor first but for me! : Start for about 10-14 days on 25 mg!! Then cut the pill in equal halves! If stay on 25 mg or higher will have drastically low blood pressure magnifying problems you taking this medicine for!! It is FAST ACTING. Take on time … 22-23 hours later you start to feel it weaning off. Do not forget to take this medicine. DO NOT forget to take this medicine!! You can pass out or get a heart attack. It is something you can get chemically addicted to but will take LONG time for dependence even in prone people. You can eventually cut pill into 1/3 or even 1/4 for weeks or indefinitely to WEAN OFF. WEAN OFF -DO NOT FORGET DAILY DOSE OR RISK HEART ATTACK. also continue or add a new long-term treatment plan or medicine with this & the withdrawal effects will be none to mild if your condition allows!
Prescribed for tachycardia due to POTS. Succeeded in lowering heart rate to relatively normal levels, but caused intolerable chest pain, palpitations, confusion, dizziness, anxiety, vertigo, and shortness of breath (basically exacerbated my underlying condition instead of help).
No clear side effect
This medicine caused me a depression and anxiety, I was talking this medicine for 18 years.
Work okay with me for 15years ...Doctor want to put me on BILOCOR/BISOPROLOL.....now I am scared that I will feel sick by stopping ATENOLOL and taking BILOCOR....PLEASE help tell me what do you think..will it be bad for me to change
Had serve palpitations & waking up at night , my heart running a marathon
Used atenolol for 1 month. It caused loss of appetite, anxiety, and a sensation of coldness,numbness on left side of chest and arm. Went to cardiologists,all tests showed my heart was strong and normal.
Many doctors prescribed it to me. It works for short term use. It slows down heart beat and less efficient on my HBP. I'm always fatigue and having insomnia. Finally CLONAZEPAM is prescribed for my almost every problems.
I was on antenolol for around four months. While it did appear to positively impact (positively) my high blood pressure I had to discontinue its use due to hair loss.
