i have been on 50mg of atenolol for 3 months, and for the past few weeks have been experiencing some strange symptoms, including fatigue, dizziness, pressure in my face and neck and especially jaw, teeth chattering, confusion. My primary physician has not yet found the cause (ruled out heart problems), but is reluctant to think the atenolol could be causing the problem, since it offers few side affects and I have been on it so long. Can anyone offer examples of other patients who have been affected by atenolol in any way similar? Thanks.
I have been on Atenolol (50 mg.) for six years. Really don't have any of the symptoms you have. However, read my post as of yesterday (March 1) as to my withdrawal of Atenolol. Post is by Lorraine. Good Luck!
