I was taking atenolol 12.5 mgs for blood pressure and I would get up in the morning always stressed out with anxiety and take the pill and sit and watch the news and feel the anxiety leaving my body. Unfortunately it was making my pulse too low at 48 thus causing some light headedness so I went down to 1/4 of a pill and it didn't help my blood pressure as much so Dr. added in Losartan which I do not like at all and it didn't help much at 25 mgs plus the atenolol. I now take a beta blocker called betaxolol and it works good for anxiety but I still have a lot of anxiety from other issues that it seems nothing can touch except good ole valium 2.5 mgs is works wonders for me as needed.
