"Ok, update from a year ago. I stopped taking chlorthalidone about a year after I started taking it. It worked well for bringing down my blood pressure but had to increase the beta blocker (atenolol) for other issues and stopped taking the diuretic (chlorthalidone). At the year mark of taking this, I had a blood test. It increased my total and LDL cholesterol, lowered my potassium, and I had extremely cold fingers and toes. Three months since I have stopped chlorthalidone and retook blood tests. My overall cholesterol dropped from 201 (on chlorthalidone) to 166 (off diuretic). My LDL cholesterol dropped from 117 (on chlorthalidone) to 87 (off diuretic). I still take atenolol, I just take 100 mg daily instead of 50 mg with the diuretic."

Atenolol / chlorthalidone "I have been on Tenoretic 50 for almost 4 months. I was originally on atenolol 50 mg until I went to the doctor after getting several high blood pressure readings. The highest was 157/101 when I went to the doctor. He prescribed this, and it took a while to get my numbers down along with some lifestyle changes, but my numbers have come down to the normal range. I have not experienced any side effects. I use the restroom often anyway, but I have noticed I wake up some nights to use it more often than I did beforehand. I take my dose in the afternoon before dinner so I don't wake up in the morning with a racing heart. So for now, so far, so good! I recommend if you and your doctor think this is right for you. I monitor my blood pressure, but I haven't had any blood tests yet."
