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.

Moan about ignorant medics
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.

Hospital visit today
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.

Slow release diltiazem, Adizem versus Slozem etc
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.

The need for knowledge
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!!

Request to see an EP
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.

Beta blocker or calcium channel blocker?
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?

Are rate control drugs necessary when heart rate is within a "normal range" although AF is 24/7?
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.

Does anyone have atrial fibrillation?
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

Afib returned after two years
Had three cardiac ablations. Last one symptom and med free for two years. Always converted with IV meds in under 30 mintues. This time was in rapid afib for 13 days even on meds. Back on Cardizem, Multaq and Xarelto. Had to be cardioverted last week. Will see new EP Wednesday to discuss 4th ablation.

I've had migraines 27 years. When Imitrex was put on the market (the injections) I began using them.
I went from having 2 to 3 migraines/severe nausea, a month to 8 or 9, when I began using Imitrex. My Dr. said it was a coincidence. That went on for 20 years. I was given 6 shots a month so either suffered in bed, or went to the ER. for an additional shot. Then a cardiologist put me on Cardizem

Swollen Feet and Ankles
I have put my question somewhere else - am not familiar with the new system as yet. I am on Dilzem XL capsules and they certainly have improved my breathing but I really have very swollen feet and ankles. The leaflet inside the box says one in ten people suffer with swollen feet whilst taking this
