How Long Will The Weakness And Dizziness Last After Taking Atenolol For 3 Days?

I was given atenolol on Friday for anxiety. I took 25 mg on Fri. I was dizzy and weak so on Sat. I took 12.5 mg and I was still dizzy. On Sunday(today) I took 12.5 Atenolol and did not take the HCTZ 12.5 at all. I took HCTZ on Fri. and Sat. but today I did not and I am still very weak and dizzy. I called the pharmacist and he said to take the HCTZ tomorrow and to stop Atenolol. How long will the weakness and dizzy last after taking the Atenolol for 3 days?

Hi.Thanks for writing on HCM.
Dizziness and weakness due to atenolol might last for about 1 to 2 days during which it gets completely washed out from the body.Hope this answers your query.
