Prob Atenolol: Bystolic (nebivolol) a powerful med, well tolerated by patients w many birthdays. It is excreted by kidney and liver, so is both hydrophilic(kidney)& Lipophylic(Liver). Lipophillic meds do go to Brain. Atenolol is primarily hydrophilic, so does not affect brain much. Metoprolol is prim lipo so not so good for depressed persons. Atenolol best choice.
