User Reviews for atenolol oral

I am doing fine with the medication with the exception of my hair thinning and ACI for sugar is 6 since taking the drug.

I was on other meds for my HBP but the side effects drove me crazy. I exercise a lot and don't do well with diuretics. One doctor prescribed them any how and I was miserable. Changed doctors and they changed my medication but the new stuff just made me feel tired all the time. Another doctor and another medicine and I think we've finally got it figured out. Very little in the way of side effects and if anything it has helped in my athletic contests. Atenolol works very well for me.

Very effective

Have taken this drug for about 10 years and takes care of my high blood pressure and occasional rapid heart beat but I am stiff and ache in all my muscles from head to toe 24/7 and Drs. don't know what it is. Wondering if it is this med. Afraid to quit taking it to test it out..fear of having a heart attach after all these years.

I have been on Atenolol (12.5 mg a day) for one year and in that time have developed neuropathy in my feet/toes...and lately pain in muscles in shoulders and upper forearms. I started to gain weight last month and gained 4 lbs in 3 weeks and had some edema in my ankles...even though I watched EVERYTHING I ate.(cut way down on salt, carbs or sugar!) I stopped this medication 4 day ago and have lost 5 lbs., edema is gone and so is the pain in shoulders and feet! Because I am on no other medications it is a no brainer that the atenolol was the reason for my experience.Read More Read Less

No side-effects.has not stop tremors,but has made them less noticable.

Prior to reading all the other reviews here I figured I had no issues with my use of Atenolol. I split a 25 mg tab and take the half daily. I've taken Atenolol for about 10 years now. About 4 years ago I had a bout with pulmonary embolisms which has made a very serious impact on my life. I now wonder whether it might have been related to my use of Atenolol. I'm not real happy about that.

This medication has worked well but I've been having really strange dreams every nite,

I simply mentioned to my doctor that my heart skips a beat at times. She automatically placed me on atenolol. I ve been on it for about 5 months. I have osteoarthiritis which has lead to a shoulder replacement and thumb joint replacement at 35. However, I have been in severe pain hip pain, back pain and horrible leg cramps.Last night I accidentally forgot my med. Today when I went to work I actually cleaneded the entire kitchen (Iam a deli manager). For that reason decided to research the drug to my amazement I found reviews that describe my life to a tee. NO energy. Severe hip pain body aches. I actually have been wondering if I have something horribly wrong with me.This site may have saved my life, its been pretty bad, Thank you all so much. For me its no more atenolol!!!!!Read More Read Less

hypotension, dizzy, sluggish,dark urine

It makes me feel very sick.

heart rate dropped and was not stable on my feet.

Horrible rash from the sun while on this. Misdiagnosed so went on for over a yr. After going off it on dermatologist's advice I felt like a new person. No more severe hip or knee pain. The fatigue that almost made me sell my farm is gone. No more constant indigestion. And my sense of smell came back. This med. should be taken off the market. How many are treating the side effects with more drugs like I was.

Work great m only H/P med that controls the heartbeat to not feel it...but about 6 months using it had severe ED ... not taking it anymore...but the alternate drugs don't seem to work will try high PH alkaline water since it lowered my B/P before!

My blood pressure has been fine 122/70 but I have this weird feeling in my head almost like sinus pressure right across the front of my head anybody else have this

No side affects. Works great

I use 25mg per day. My blood pressure has average about 120 over 80 for the last 10 years. It also keeps by heart rate about 80 beats per minute. It seem to do what it suppose to do.
