I've taken beta blockers for years. Your body *does* adapt the drug,

does. So check your
resting pulse often and make sure it's not too low, and that isn't the
reason you're feeling
so draggy.

I'm taking it because my heart rate has been too high, which means they
drop my heart rate into normal range, not too low. Good to know your
body adjusts as I suspect unless I can find any other things that might
be contributing, that the current dose isn't doing enough, it's only
dropping it by about 10 beats per min, the doc wants it down 20-30bpm.

Thanks

Then I bet your body *will* adjust and you'll start to feel better.
Hope its soon.
The one I take now (Lopressor)....is pretty widely prescribed for any
heart patient.
It makes the heart "work smarter" as it was explained to me. Also
helps with BP.
I took a different one 20 years ago, for a different reason; back then
they prescribed
them for preventive migraine therapy.
Good luck! Hope you're feeling "normal" very soon.
