I think I am having a bad reaction to Atenolol. My side effects include depression, cold extremities, runny nose, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, anger, weakness and lack of energy. There are other side effects too but maybe I am blessed not to have to deal with them. In many ways conventional medicine sucks! Even with Prozac, I feel like I have been hit by a truck on some days - like today. Absolutely no desire to do anything except eat sugar and sleep. Believe me - I am familiar with depression and this is it. So - I'll stop the A. and see how I feel after a couple days....it only stays in the system for @ 20 hours so it shouldn't take too long to know what is what. And my blood pressure is only borderline high anyway!!!!! I still think that if I can lose some more weight and keep it off it will take care of that issue. Anyone remember joy? (Not someone's dog either) I would like some. Some day, some time I might feel it; something besides gray. I feel so sad today when I think of the good feelings I might have had when all that snow was here and my kids were home for 10 days and I was stuck in my gray self and couldn't get out. I love snow! Well, here's to hoping things improve in a couple days.
