Long Term Use Of Atenolol (Page 4) (Top voted first)
UpdatedEight years back, while commuting to my workplace (40 km's away) by a train, I suddenly got fatigued and caught a blackout while getting up from my seat. A friend of mine immediately rushed me to a nearby Doctor, who after checking my BP (180/120) prescribed Atenolol and some sedatives to me He said that I have to take Atenolol for whole life, and I am following the same. Will somebody guide me, whether I am doing the right thing or must I take a second opinion now after getting checked my heart's functioning. I don't have any trouble with my heart but if anyday due to oversight I forget to take the medicine, I feel uneasiness in my head. I feel I have become addictive to this drug. Please help.
Any doctor that prescribes Atenolol should be held accountable! That garbage is poison AND COULD KILL YOU!
It could be due to that fact that you were on it for so long, as your body gets used to a certain medication at the regular dosage, it tends to not do as much and sometimes a dosage change or change to an entirely new drug is necessary.
Hi Anjali, Thanks for the reply.Actually my querry was to get information about it's long term use. If any person like me has used this medicine for 8 to 10 years continously, what are his observations. Primafacie this drug hasn't shown any contra indication on my body
