I was on Atenolol from 2002 to 2017. Then there was a "shortage". The new Atenolol is absolutely NOT the same. If it was, I wouldn't have to take 9, that's right 9 50mg tablets of metoprolols with the Atenolol. I've told my Doctor. He either doesn't believe me, or doesn't care. With my hand on a Bible.... Atenolol has changed. ## I am very sorry about the problem that you're having, that is a lot of medication to take regularly. However, I would like to ask a few questions to gain a better understanding of what is going on. What condition are you taking these medications to treat, hypertension, a cardiac condition, or something else? What is happening that causes you to feel you need to take so much of the Metoprolol, with your Atenolol? These medications...

I am taking benicar along with atenalol for high blood pressure. Why do I need to take both. Can I just take one. I am trying to reduce my dependency on drugs ## Hello, Elanda! How are you? How high is your blood pressure? That is what the answer is dependent on. If it was very high, then multiple medications are quite often used to help lower it as fast as is safely possible and, once blood pressure is back under control, medications can be removed, or dosages lowered, as appropriate. Do you also watch what you eat to maintain a low-fat, low-sodium diet? ## Thanks for your reply. Normally my blood pressure is around 140/ 80 range. I started with atenalol and the Benicar was added later. Not sure why. I do watch my salt intake and try to watch what I eat.

I took my pills tonight from my pill box and then found Atenalol on the carpet so I took it. I'm just worried that it may have fallen there when I was refilling my pill boxes. I'm hoping I just dropped it when I took them and took the one I was supposed to have taken. Would 2 doses hurt me? ## An occasional double dose isn't likely to hurt you, as long as you aren't allergic to it, according to FDA reports, but your blood pressure and heart rate may drop lower than normal, you may also experience more dizziness, and drowsiness, than usual. How are you doing? Did you experience any adverse effects?
