I am getting a little anxious about taking amioadrone and it's possible side effects, has anyone else experienced this drug?

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.

Lots of luck in going forward again in 2023!
