Atenolol (beta-blocker) Need info ASAP

Wobbler --

I'm curious as to what dosage you were taking?

It's a few years ago since this happened and I can't remember the dosage ..... but I remember the effect quite vividly. I guess it depends on the reason the beta-blocker was prescribed..... it is often used to reduce high blood pressure in which case there are Angiotensin II inhibitors which tend to have less drastic side-effects and there are a number of natural supplements that work well too.
