I have been on Digoxin for permenet AF for 15yrs now I have no issues or side effects which is a change from all the other melds I have been on

May I add your very useful report to my post on digoxin yesterday (Digoxin stuns in Rate-AF trial) or you may want to comment there? There is a lot of negative feedback on the forum on this previously commonly prescribed drug.

what dose are you on.? I was on the lowesr but still ex perienced depression with it and had to give it up after 2 weeks as I felt so grim....like an overall zombiel I do not have a history of depression.Now on Bisoprolol but not sure if it is as as good as digoxin and what it is expected to do regarding heart pumping.Maybe they can reduce to dose further as i t certainly dampened down the papita t that 'jump out' for your chest during the day .I am trying to avoid being housboudbut jumping frogs in the chests in the high street are challenging and i do not know how to deal with yet.

On 250 micrograms Digoxin also 7.5mg of bisoprolol

I may get some further insight into the business of dosage on Thursday when i see someone from Gerantology I have seen before and who seemed like a shrewed cookie.My regular Bisoprolol dose is 5.mg with the option of a PIP in bwtween if the going gets rouugh. So far have not had to use it much.

A nurse told me the mnemonic she was taught for good effects of digoxin was SSS standing for slow, strong and stable.
