I'm not really posting tonight, but wanted to share my thoughts for you. It's a great feeling to know whats going on. I know it can be a little (or alot) freaky until one has a definitive diagnosis for something.

I started Atenolol every day about two weeks ago. I took propranolol only when I needed it before that. Since I started taking Adderall back in November, my heart got alot more sensitive. It was before, but the problems increased. I don't have a real diagnosis yet. But then, I have also been shy to really talk about it with my doctor. I hadn't said all the symptoms that might develop if I have a problem, depending on severity. I am sure that because of how much I didn't say, my doctor very likely assumed that my problems would be more benign and not cause for more serious concern. I emailed him after my last visit when I got the prescription for the Atenolol. I made a post here after seeing him about *how sweet* he was and how he really sat-down to talk with me--about ME. I feel better about him since that day. I have felt more like trying--or thinking/realizing more that I need to.

I am rambling now. Sorry. Had a bad day at work today. Oh, and then atenolol helps me. I still have some minor problems, and it seems to wear off at come evening. He said that I could adjust the dose, so I may do that. Anyway, glad to hear you've got something to help you!
