Atenolol: i would consider just taking 25mg at night only and monitor your BP regularly after that.

Atenolol makes me a little lightheaded 50mg a day. But I get even more dizzy if I opt to take a little extra dose of 25mg. Why is this?

Hello, Thank you in advance. I am on a very low dose of atenolol, not even 12.5 mg a day. It affects my central nervous system, makes me weak, achy and tingling. Mostly controls HR, but Dr. wants to switch me to Propranolol. Is this better tolerated?
