One Week on Atenolol
by kuckla, Apr 07, 2008 06:41AM
One week ago my Endocrinologist put me on 50mg of Atenolol upon my first office visit, for anxiety, and to monitor me with other issues.
I weigh 100 pounds and am 5'2''. WIthin 3 days I called back after reading how hard it is to get off and asked to get off it or wean off. I was told to reduce the dose by 1/2 and now I am at taking 12mg a day, but I want off.
Any suggestions. This is day 9.

I wouldn't think there would be much of a problem with tapering off after taking it for 3 days. That probably wouldn't be long enough to build up to a therapeutic dose in your system, anyway.
