Atenolol and dizziness

CONTINUOUS dizziness, 24/7. Truly miserable. I am asking doctor for some alternative. I would rather not be dizzy the rest of my life! this is a pitiful medicine.

I have been on Atenolol for about 5 years. Thankfully, I do not experience the side effects that many are complaining about. My dosage is 75mg and I take HCTZ 25mg along with it. Recently I was put on Lisinopril and that has been an absolute nightmare. Dizziness, Headache, Dry, Spastic Cough and a Sore Tongue showing little deep slits in the front area and red.
Interesting how one drug works for someone and for another it is their worst nightmare.

I was on Atenolol for about 3 months, for slightly elevated BP, started having chest pain, heart palps, dizziness, anger/depression, couldn't barely drag myself out of bed, Dr, gave me 50mgs, but I was only taking a fourth pill a day, had horrible hair loss and still do 2 months later, It took about 2 weeks for the heart palps to subside after I stopped taking it, these drugs are dangerous, and I feel for the millions of people who continue to believe that there Dr.s actually care!! They don't, it's all about the almighty dollar, Research for yourself, because no one else will, take care. Marlee22

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!!
