Experiences with

Adizem

I was told I can miss a day on Adizem and then take it at night Replacement for Bisoperol which I had to give up as I have got worsei i and2 other drugs I have tried …adizem don’t feeling well on either of them Help!

The Adizem has brought my blood pressure down to normal levels which obviously is a good thing. Many thanks for any input.

Only a couple of days later I saw my Consultant regarding my Afib who changed Amlodipine for Adizem 120mg once a day. I also take Flecainide 50mg twice a day for Afib. Does anyone else take Adizem and have any side effects?

But like I saw with Adizem I am getting more and more Afib epsidoes that are lasting longer and longer, sometimes up to 12 hours. The cardilogy department upped both the Carvedilol to 6.25mg and the flec to 100mg twice daily, but that doesn't appear to have helped.

Ive been told to with hold Adizem.

He suggested changing the bisoprolol for Adizem as he thought my symptoms were probably related to the beta blockers.

Phoned hospital who told me to take Adizem XL 240mg every day and sent a prescription to my pharmacy. Heart rate now down to between 80 and 90 which is still too high. Looking at the leaflet Adizem does not claim to reduce heart rate.

What are your experiences of taking Adizem? I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

Long story short at my cardiologist appointment he took me off Adizem XL which he said wasn't appropriate and put me on flecanide, I'm so dizzy i can't walk in a straight line!! Has anyone else had this and what's the solution??

I tried switching to a calcium beta blocker (Adizem) which solved the cold issues, but didn't seem to control the AFib. So I switched to a lower does of Bisoprolol (1.25mg at 7am and 7pm) but after 2 weeks I am still finding cold fingers/toes being particularly bad.

pressure or tightness) not associated particularly with exercise often 4-6am and at rest, breathlessness and debilitating fatigue. 12 months ago had successful ablation procedure for atrial flutter arrhythmia but symptoms persisted (sometime better sometimes worse) diagnosed with atrial ectopic beats, Adizem

Can anyone tell me what the doses are when you are just going to start them.. Never been on any med for blood thinners but since I got a afib 2 times and tachycardia 2-3 times and I am 72 Dr. says I must start. He gave me for the tachycardia a med. called Cardizem 180 mg ER to take instead of the a

I was diagnosed two years ago with SVT- Atrial Tachycardia and had an ablation. I had successful resolution of the Atrial Tachycardia and then it suddenly returned in December of 2022. I went in for another ablation and it was unsuccessful as the EP could not induce the rhythm. I was super bummed

I live in Jordan and have been on Dilzem for about 5 years. It’s the only medication which lowers my heart rate effectively. Am in permanent Afib. Lately, Dilzem is no longer available here and the agent advised that Pfizer stopped producing it . Just wondering if this is true . Do you still have it

Hello fellow Afibbers, Although I thought to myself, "It's just me," this update might resonate with someone else. After my initial diagnosis a year and a half ago, I was put on the beta blocker metoprolol --first at a low dosage, then increasing to the max (100 mg / day). It did next to nothing in

After my last consultation they changed my medication to (Adizem XL) this seems to better but still have occasional spikes of heart rate. Anyone who can assist or advise.

After discussing all this with the nurses, we wondered about wether it was the Adizem not working, but they tell me that the beta blocker is more for rate control, as on regular flecainide with organised atrial arrhythmias a beta blocker is indicated.

Hi I saw my cardiologist today and he wants to do an angiogram in order to diagnose my angina . As I mentioned before,I have been struggling for a while and couldn't tolerate Cardizem or even nitro patch . Does anyone have any experience with the stimulation angio that is more invasive than a regular

Hi after 4+ years with AF.3 Paroxysmal,1 persistent with only Adizem (Dilitazem) added to my BP medication am I likely to be given extra medication after Cardioversion?I have adverse reaction to beta blockers. My AF is not usually fast AF . Any comments welcome with thanks as usual.

Hi again . Struggling to make sense of my symptoms. I was just sitting quietly when I started feeling unwell and noticed my heart rate going up from 80 to 108 very rapidly . Terrible headache and some chest pain ,but not severe . As I was told to use Nitro spray only with severe pain ,I did not . I
