Anybody take it, and with good results?

Any 'lol tends to be a beta blocker and it really is about trying till you find one which works for you.

this is the original beta blocker. In theory all the others are supposed to have advantages, but we're all different so it may suit you. Fingers crossed

I've tried both atenolol and propranolol. My cardiologist says they are all "much of a muchness" - however, I found atenolol worked a bit better for me -
