Atenolol and anxiety attacks

I was taking Atenolol for about three years and suffered from dizziness, anxiety attacks, depression, wheezing and shortness of breath, muscular aches and pains, but some of those symptoms may have been caused by other medication I was, and still am, taking.
I stopped taking atenolol but also stopped taking the cholestrol-lowering tablets just before that and got them replaced by the doctor.
The aches and pains stopped and the depression almost gone, but still experimenting.
Trouble with doctors is they always give you and treat you with tablets that will have no come-back on them - just in case, so we never know where we stand. I had thought of suggesting taking niacin and asking the doctor`s advice but I know what he`d say and advise me not to take them to clear himself; point is, my cholestrol dropped from 7.8 to 3.6!!

I am taking 10mg of Lisinopril every morning and 25mg of ATENOLOL each evening. Initially it stopped my anxiety attacks and lowered my blood pressure but I found myself getting tired quick and falling asleep for long periods. I have only been on this medication recently because of the anxiety attacks but in the last two days I have noticed my feet have swollen and am unable to put my shoes on. Needless to say, after reading some of the comments on the side effects of ATENOLOL, I am going to give it a miss and report back to my doctor.

I took Atenolol for 6 months and during that time I experienced terrible anxiety attacks. It got so bad I would not leave my home. I talk to my doctor and he said he had not heard anything about this kind of side effect from this medication. Well I am no longer on Atenolol and the anxiety attacks have stopped. I wish I had known about this before I started taking it. I lost my job over the terrible side effects from this medication,
