As it seems to be traditional to do a year review, here's mine for a year that has seen me go from paroxysmal AFib to persistent AFib that has severely affected my exercising ....
There are quite a few posts about Amiodarone in the AF association forum, with some saying that the lower doses prescribed these days means less toxicity.
You’ve had a horrible year. I have found that going into persistent AF in October has really brought me down. Had an ablation recently, but went back into AF after two days. Of course it is still the blanking period, but I have a feeling that Amiodarone might be the next step. Like you, it’s not something that I would want long term.
I had a word with my pharmacist and he played down the risks, but I have seen some horror stories regarding this drug on various forums ..... what is the risk???
