emadden514 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I take it and it has helped. I don't shake as much and my HR readings are much lower standing. I had to add in midodrine with it though. I hope you get some relief.Elizabeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brye Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I've been taking atenolol almost 3 years now. Very helpful with heart rate control for me and also helps control my tremors. I tried the midodrine recently but it didn't do much for me and made my scalp itch and that drove me crazy. I may need to stop the atenolol as well. I think it may be causing some memory problems. There are some documented cases of atenolol dementia. I'm hoping that's not what I'm experiencing because I would hate to give it up. Hope it works for you!!Brye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
