I have been on Atenolol for a bought two years . I have been felling tired and told log. Have been having strange dreams. I fell crappy. I just started walking about three weeks ago and thought it would get easier but it is getting harder. How do I wean my self of this drug it killing me. My doctor say its working cause my blood pressure has gone down. HELP
well, my doc didn't want me to get off either. He told me to just stop. Of course you know that you should never do that so I weaned my self off. I was having (and still am) cough shortness of breath, tight chest and no sex drive and very tired. You didn't say what your dosage is. 2 years is a long time, so you should taper off slowly. I was only taking it for about 5 months. So I took a half a pill for 4 days and then 1/4 of a pill for a few days and then I stopped. You should really be under a docs care when tapering off. And you should take longer than i did. What is your dosage?
