beta blockers are known to cause depression
ask your doctor to prescribe something different for panic attacks, since beta blockers only prevent your heart from racing -- only one of the symptoms and it doesn't treat the underlying chemical imbalance
I went to another doctor and he took me off the Atenolol. I have to say that I do feel better. I read on webmd that anxiety, nervousness, and depression are all side effects of this medication. Is it possible that this med lead to my panic attacks?? I never had one until I started on this med.
Thanks so much!!
One other quick question....
I was on 50mg of the medication. 3 days ago I reduced the amount to 25mg, but I am still feeling much of the same side effects. My doctor told me to take the 25mg for a total of 5 days and then just stop taking the medication. Would there be any danger in just stopping the medication all together right now? It would only be two days early....
