please, someone tell me a safe way to back down off atenolol. I'...

I am on the website primarily because of the issues from statins (cholesterol) and saw your post. I used to take atenolol and now I taking natural products as much I can. RX drugs are poison. Unfortunately, I don't trust drs. anymore. All they know is push drugs and surgery. . . . . VERY SAD.

If you are interested, I can help you.

You are not alone. I have been taking them for about 8 months too, gained 20lbs, sleep really badly and have absolutely no energy at all....I am on them to try to reduce my migraines and they are working but it is a high price. I am going back to the Docs to try to get them changed or look for an alternative migraine cure.

Lisinopril; I had an allergic reaction with in 3 hrs of taking my first pill, my lips swelled up and it moved down my neck, went to emergency and was pump full of Benadril; at that time I proudly weighed 169. Doctor switched me to Atenanol and this helped my blood pressure, but my weight that I had worked really hard to loose all came back. Now I weigh 230 and have no metabolism...I want something else to take besides Atenanol. Please help!!!
