I take Atenolol daily to manage tachycardia. It works pretty well most of the time. Over the past few years I have had problems with minor tachycardia and a few major episodes of PAT with rates over 200. No major episodes since starting Atenolol daily.
I don't think that the beta blocker has made much of a difference with depression - I was down before and after. I also take Wellbutrin and Adderall. On Wellbutrin for years and started Adderall couple of months ago.
(Assuming you're working closely with your doctor) most beta blockers are pretty easy drugs. You could also speak with your doc about taking it only when you have a problem - not every day.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
