| 1 | High Blood Pressure | Lethargy, Slow Pulse, Stomach Problems in the Morning, Feeling Out Of It, Depression | The worst drug that I have even been on. At 34, I shouldn't be on this for High Blood Pressure. It has ruined my lifestyle. | M | 11 months | 1/25/2005 | 5 | High BP and anxiety panic attacks | Cold Hands, Fatigue some times | Tenormin 25 Mg daily My BP droped from 160/100 to 125/71 so its wonderfull and for my panic attacks since i strated taken this medication i had 2 PA but not very strong its better then 3 or 4 times a week before this medication is magic | M | 24 | 9 months | 1/18/2005 | 4 | High Blood pressure | Sometimes I become suddenly tired, could lie down and just sleep where I was. Leg tiredness and getting slightly winded is something I've noticed. Will consider getting off of this just to see if tired legs go away. I'm usually very active and walk a lot so small hills and my legs feel like they've run a marathon | Has knocked BP down from 165/100 to 115/70 | M | 58 | 5 months | 1/6/2005 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Low Pulse Rate around 52, lethargy, feel like junk in the morning, depression, stomach problems, feel spacey & dizzy | B/P is under control, but the side-effects aren't worth it. | M | 34 | 8 months | 12/30/2004 | 1 | HBP | Upset Stomach in the morning, lethargy, depression, mood changes | It has really bad side effects at 100 MGS | M | 34 | 8 months | 12/15/2004 | 4 | tachycardie | It is my understanding that there is increased memory loss when taking beta blockers. I have been taking beta blockers for about 34 years and started at age 21. I am very forgetful and sometimes interferes with my work and life in general but I have to take it or my hear rate will go over 200. | F | 55 | 34 years | 12/9/2004 | 3 | high blood pressure, anxiety | very tired, lethargic, decreased tolerance to exercise, | This helped my blood pressure went down from 178/118 to 118/52. It makes me very calm almost to the point that I don't want to do anything most of the time. Good thing is that I don't feel anxious anymore. | F | 27 | 6 months | 11/30/2004 | 2 | Atenolol for high blood pressure | Taking 25 mg of Atenolol once a day, in addition to 5 mg of Enalapril [Vasotec] for high blood pressure, following quad bypass at age 52. Doctor increased Atenolol to twice a day when I experienced heart flutters. I was tired all the time, napping several times during the day, so cut back to Atenolol once a day. I was also taking Lipitor for elevated triglycerides. Doing a lot of research on statins because I experienced too many side effects including memory loss and muscle pain/fatigue & muscle atrophe. I have stopped taking Lipitor and Atenolol. Doctor probably won't be too happy, but I am feeling like a human being again. I feel the Atenolol was also causing erectile dysfunction. | M | 60 | 5 years | 11/21/2004 | 1 | Hypertension | Constantly escalating (over a period of years) acid stomach upon eating anything. Migraine headaches ecsalating from once a year to once a week. Sweating at back of head. Impotence. Leg pains. Loss of balance and constant sleepiness. Possible relation to onset of trigeminal neuralgia. | This stuff should be taken off of the market. With the utter lack of responsiveness to side effects by the current crop of physicians, this drug can lead to a constantly escalating series of side effects treated as new diseases. This could potentially lead to death. | M | 58 | 10 years | 11/20/2004 | 3 | mild hypertension | dry mouth. headache, pins and needles, tiredness, lightheadedness | M | 50 | 2 years | 11/17/2004 | 1 | HBP | Stomach Problems, Depression, Lethargy, Change in Personality | M | 6 months | 10/14/2004 | 4 | High blood pressure/Palpatations | This medicine gave me a slow heart rate 52-56 BPM Light-head and dizziness | This medication kept my blood pressure under control it worked very well in that regard, I still had some episodes of missed heart beats overall I was satisfied with the performance of the drug, however Iam concerned about the slow heart beat side effect. | F | 55 | 5 years | 9/25/2004 | 3 | F | 55 | 365 days | 9/16/2004 | 3 | tachycardia | extreme fatigue, shortness of breath | M | 54 | 8 months | 9/12/2004 | 3 | Hypertension | None for many years, then feet became painful when at rest. Became so bad that could only walk on carpet during day, had cushioned shoes, awake all night with the pain which was unrelieved by 4 Panadeine Forte plus sedative. Didn't realise the connection with Tenormin until changed doctor. Stopped Tenormin, pain decreased markedly. Still looking for efficient antihypertensive with less side effects. | F | 61 | 21 years | 9/6/2004 | 4 | Heart Palpitations | Dizzyness at higher levels. | Great drug, Swear by it, I can truly feel the difference while I'm on it. | M | 20 | 2 years | 8/30/2004 | 2 | Palpitations | Sleep disturbance, not getting to sleep, think it is INCREASING palpitations, GI upset, slight fatigue, memory loss | I am going to wean off of it to see if the palps decrease again. | F | 40 | 3 months | 8/28/2004 | 4 | HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE | Very lethargic most of the day-- guess that beats a stroke. | Best advice... take it at night before bed. If I take my 100mg in the am, I never get woke up. Blood pressure during day on medication 110/78. It does work! | F | 34 | 1 years | 8/25/2004 | 5 | atrial arythmia | none | have taken for 3 years...12.5mg twice a day worked better for me than a single pill at first, but now I just take one 25mg a day. My atrial arythmia has stopped and it's helped control BP (also take altace 5mg) to 105/70. No problems at all. | M | 61 | 3 years | 8/2/2004 | 3 | Dizzy memory loss sleep patten upset bp still high on 50mg have taken 100mg increas of above plus back pain could not lie down | M | 56 | 3 months | 8/2/2004 |
