Experiences with

Amiodarone

Just in case anyone on Amiodarone is unaware, is not being carefully monitored, or is having any symptoms.

My concern is I am taking Amiodarone and have began seeing side effects to it so cannot remain on this medication...Does anyone know the alternative from ablation or Amiodarone...

My (new) cardio doctor wants me to go on Amiodarone (an an antiarrythmic med) 4 weeks before and about 6 weeks after the cardioversion. I read about a number of TERRIFYING potential side effects associated with this drug.

Spoke to Arrythmia Nurse today and he gave me options to review. live with it,Another cv with Amiodarone,or ablation.I am disregarding Cv with Amiodarone as he even pointed out side effects & dangers. He also pointed out dangers of Ablation . As regards living with it.

A second episode began a week later and they told me to start 200 mg of amiodarone, which has big side effects on many and takes six months to clear once it’s stopped. My second episode converted after two doses of amiodarone.

Amiodarone will be better choice when your other medicines not effective. In my case it works well in control AFib. Just monitor its side effect.

Amiodarone caused me to have lqts almost didn’t make it but everyone is different

Awaiting Cardiac MRI result and been put on Amiodarone. Petrified of the fact it’s a last resort med & side effects listed are scary including, if I go in the sun my skin could turn blue/grey ( saw photos online) so very stressed right now.

We find that berberine and amiodarone are equally effective at maintenance of SR. The health beneficial effect of berberine is confirmed and the clinical application of berberine is promising.

Hi all, my consultant has recommended I change from 25mg carvedilol to Amiodarone. The side effects of amiodarone appear to be awful. can I have some feed back of anyone's experiences on this please.

In meantime Ive been prescribed Amiodarone. I also take Warfarin ! I'm concerned about the Amiodarone side effects such as loss of sight and blistering and peeling skin in 1:10 people. Have you taken it? Was it worth the risks? Any support or genuine advice will be valued.........Thanks.

He is taking Amiodarone for it

However I am convinced that the constipation was caused by my taking Amiodarone and/or Renalizine In preparation for the cardioversion so it looks like it wil have to be cancelled because of the very reason that I was taking the medication in the first place!!! Any thoughts please. Statusqu.

I continue to take daily meds - Amiodarone 200mg, Atenolol 25mg and Xarelto 20mg.

However, about once a month my heartbeat becomes irregular and is often over 100, at these times my BP plummets My Cardiologist says when this happens I should replace the Flecainide and Bisoprolol with Amiodarone I just wondered if anyone else has tried this and did it work, or should I just sit out

My medication is ATORVASTATIN 40mg, AMIODARONE 200mg, RIVAROXABAN 20mg, LISINOPRIL 80mg, DOXAZOSIN 2mg, ASPIRIN 75mg, BISOPROLOL 10mg, OMEPRAZOLE 40mg daily. Any advice would be appreciated.

She's allergic to amiodarone (pulmonary fibrosis). Thank you!

Hi - as the last throw of the dice I am taking Amiodarone (Arycor) until I get a cardioversion in January (will be my 7th on top of two ablations).

My wife was diagnosed with AF in Jan 21 and subsequently Hypothyroidism, possible through taking Amiodarone When this all started her thyroid test results were April T4 TSH 23.3, May T4 9 TSH 22, June T4 12.9 TSH 5.6, Now T4 17.2 TSH 0.22.

Off Diltiazem, on Amiodarone, Digoxin & Metoprolol plus Lasix. Planned ablation 3/2/22. Hopefully will get back to sleeping better & running again soon!
