Has anyone had decreased sex drive or more importantly impotence, while taking Tenormin or Atenolol?

I think I was on it with my ex most of the time and I do not remember any problems.

" Hello<
I was just put on Atentlol 2 days ago....and my doctor said that in men....it can have sexual side affects. But not really in women. So I would talk to you doctor about getting on something different that maybe dosent have these side effects.

Oh...and I have a question for you. Since I just started this med. My heart rate is still up a little and blood pressure has only went down a little. My Doctor said that my heart rate would prob drop and I would feel tired...but really it has been the same. Does this take a while. How did it work for you? I have high heart rate (usually 80-100) "
