User Reviews for Tenormin oral

My doctor changed me from Lotrel to this awful medicine, I had some unexplained swelling and he thought I had developed an allergy to the Lotrel, I don't think that was it. My question to anyone on this medicine does it cause dry mouth? Please let me know if anyone else has this problem Thanks,

I developed a condition called PAT. Very common. It was uncomfortable so a doctor prescribed a beta blocker (Atenol) to lessen the effects, even tho I have low blood pressure. I took it for a few years until I developed dizzy spells and feeling like I was going to faint. I figured it was my PAT so I doubled the dose one day and found myself on the bathroom floor. I had fainted. I immediately stopped taking it and my fainting spells went away. I went back to the doctor and he wanted me to go right home and take another one. So stupidly I did and fainted again. I threw them away and have never felt better. Dangerous drug with very dangerous side effects. I was feeling faint while driving...no more. No more big pharma drugs for me. I rated it effective for lowering blood pressure...but mine didn't need lowering...it's already too low.Read More Read Less

I'm 16 with a recurrent arrhythmia and this product has greatly improved my quality of life.

I was prescribed this medication as a last resort before being referred to a neurologist. I have tried nearly everythng, and I have to tell you Tenormin seems to be somewhat of a miracle drug. My dorcot said it would take a few days to a week for it to become effective, and it started wroking the next day (I was prescribed to take twice a day). I stopped taking it when the headaches and migraines went away and have started taking it again when they came back. It was not as effective the second time. I would highly suggest if using it for meadaches/migraines, to talk with your doctor before stopping as it may lose it's effectiveness or need the dose increased.Read More Read Less

I have taken this med for 2 yrs. Its done its job. I dont have anything to compare it to but side effects low energy, weight gain. I have been slowly getting dosage lowered and i experience some sort of withdraw: Migranes and nausea.

I've taken atenolol for MVP chest pains and hypertension for about 3 years. Unfortunately, I developed horrible psoriasis from it, which is on top of a congenital icthyosis syndrome. It took me a while to pinpoint atenolol as the culprit. I tapererd off the medication and the skin condition is clearing, but the debilitating chest pains are back. Any holistic medicines available?

I began taking tenormin 20 yrs ago to treat atrial fribulation due to stress of my first born son,career change, and family life events. I swear by it, not only did it completely control my irregular heartbeat, but also lowered my blood preasure moderately as a side bonus. My only word of caution is that (in my experience) ceasing it suddenly can be very uncomfortable-symtons resume rather quickly-but other than that one thing, I do swear by it.

IF I TAKE IT DURING THE DAY WITH OR WITHOUT FOOD I AM NAUSOUS; AT NIGHT AFTER DINNER OKAY.

I tried to go off it once because I had lost a lot of weight and my heart rate rose to 120 bpm after walking to the office from the parking lot. I went right back on it and I know I can't live without it. I am not sure if it contributed to a weight gain as I was about the same weight throughout my therapy.

I have been useing this for a few years, the doctor also thinks I have a Phechromocytoma on my adrenal gland. this med. has caused me to gain weight also but it does lower my blood pressure along with two other meds. I am taking for highblood pressure.

I have been taking this medication for over a year and have gained almost 30lbs. I was also experiencing a lack of energy and I would become very moody without a reason. I didn't think to change my medication until I was continuously putting on weight and experiencing a poor quality of life. I have discontinued this medication and began taking natural herbs and other supplements and those side effects have now gone away.

I feel calmer,bp is down and I lost 9 pounds.

I feel that my bp went down too fast too soon. I do not think my bp was so high to put me on this strong medication. I have met with my doctor several times about this. I don't like the naseau that I am experiencing.

i have been on tenormin for 10 years now. the side effects i exp. were lower energy i have gained some weight but i never thought about it being related to the meds until i read someone else's comments.

my sex life became poor with this tenormin

It works well but the side effects are a gain in weight. Slows heart beat and energy level.
