Experiences with

Adizem

Thought I would share latest development after my first ablation which took place last November. I did not have any bouts of AF since and felt much better all these past months. Saw the consultant (well, his registrar) on Monday. He advised to stop taking Flecainide and Diltizem but to continue with

However I must take my last one tonight and take my Diltiazem (Diltiazem (Adizem-XL) belongs to a group of medicines called calcium antagonists. ) I must not take my first Diltiazem until mid day tomorrow and then the next in the morning.

I have been on adizem for about two years and I also have a cardio loop fitted I have taken yesterday and today of cause of my heart the last time I was off work was September last year I go to the hospital for a reading from my cardio loop but never get to see the cardiologist .

when i was diagnosed with afib oct 2014 they put me on cardizem 180 xarelto every day and in the hospital. since then i have shortness of breath. do you think these two meds are the cause. the cardiologist just said take lasix 40 prescribed by my primary dr and see me in 6 months. help

Adizem is not quite the same apparently. He assured me that in Lloyds at any rate, cost was not the driver, merely what the wholesaler has in stock in most cases.

on cardizem and xarelto. was to cardiologist which he stated take your meds, do pt, and ordered lasix40 . have shortness of breath on exertion. all he said was see you in 6 months follow up with primary dr. is there any hope for a 86 year old.

Currently taking 100mg Fecainide and 120mg Dilzem per day. But I am on holiday and will be running out of stock soon. My return will be delayed because of a family bereavement. I'm wondering about the need and supply of this medication. Let me explain that i had an ablation in November and have been

The pharmacist provided Adizem. I hated it, felt awful and had some weird symptoms. I asked my GP if I could have a lower dose. NO! After a few months I found my pharmacist had provided Slozem instead.

After a-fib unable to be controlled by meds, decided on ablation after several ER visits for high H.R. uncontrolled by cardizem. Put on Xeralto for 5 weeks prior to ablation. After 2 weeks on Xeralto, had new and worsening leg, back and shoulder pain. By 5th week had such severe pain could not dress

I was taking Adizem for 7 years prior to this recent AF (my GP took me off it in favour of Digoxin) and I told her this, but she said it is not the same as Diltiazem.

Hi Is anyone else taking this slow release drug? Look very pale and bags under eyes. Fed up folk saying l look ill so put fake tan on. Now l look as if l have jaundice. Can't win. Started with a fuzzy head some says; resulting in my being apprehensive to go out on my own. This AF and meds is very

Late 50's, single and was in very good shape.. Now out of control with lethargy and shortness of breath, tired etc on several drugs to combat the AF. Not use to ~not being very physical and active and now on the cliff of depression as I was diagnosed with AF a few years ago - Cardizem and Pradaxa

I was prescribed 240mg of SL Diltiazem and was given Adizem for several cycles. I was not happy ( understatement! ) with the side effects and asked my GP to lower the dose which she flatly refused to do. Then the pharmacist gave me Slozem instead.

My doctor put me on Bisoprolol 2.5mgs (I was already on Candesartan and Adizem which I had been taking for the last 7 years. As I sit here (after another GP visit and doubling of Bisoprolol to 5 mgs) my heart is still snapping, crackling and popping and apparently has slowed to 100 bpm!!

Having met some resistance from my GP re my request for repeat visit to Cardiology "ablation not without risk you know" I went back after taking myself off Adizem (bad reaction) to have another go at him.

Saw an EP for the first time last week and he suggested I try a calcium channel blocker (Adizem) instead. Does anyone have any advice on this or experience on Adizem (or other calcium channel drugs) they could share?

GP took me off Bisoprolol and put me on Adizem-XL instead (I also have Warfarin and Losarten). I had to stop the Bisoprolol for a few days before starting the Adizem-XL. During that time I realised the my heart rate had not increased and I felt considerably better than of late.

I was diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) last August, at a time when I was on the waiting list for thyroid surgery. Since then I had several episodes of AF (lasting for six to twelve hours on average). Been taking flecainide for a while and recently also Dilzem. Waiting for catheter ablation
