Atenolol and leg cramps?
Posted , 4 users are following.
hi all! i was on metoprolol for about 2 weeks and it was giving me horrible side effects, so my doctor switched me to atenolol yesterday. After i took it last night, i noticed some mild leg cramping as i was laying in bed but didnt think much of it. that is until tonight when i took it again and sure enough about an hour later i have leg cramps again. they are very mild, but im wondering if this is a normal side effect? i cant seem to find much info on it and not sure if i should be concerned. of course i will follow up with my doctor but its a holiday weekend so in the meantime i thought i would ask if anyone else had this experience? thanks for any info!

Mickey,
I was put on metoprolol and it was horrible. They switched me to Atenolol. this is day 4 from the switch and still having some side effects but not as bad as metoprolol. Did you ever switch?

Leg cramps may be from laying down a certain way when going to bed and sleeping. I have leg cramps sometimes.
