Experiences with

Amiodarone

However I am on amiodarone and other drugs which make me constipated. Does anyone know of a laxative that is compatible with amiodarone. Senna and other derivatives are said to be incompatible in the leaflet with amiodarone

Has anyone else on here had bouts of vertigo whilst on amiodarone? No other side effects thankfully but the vertigo can be a little unnerving.

Has anyone else here had issues while on amiodarone.

QOL improved quite dramatically after a few months of taking Amiodarone as gradually, and it was a gradual process, NSR became sustained after about 3 months of taking Amiodarone at the maximum dose.

After ablation I was put on high dose of Amiodarone but it has been decreased to 3 times a week. In the past 15 days my BP has been in 120's/70's which is very good so I haven't taken any BP meds. I hope that the Amiodarone will be eliminated as well.

Has anyone had any experience of taking amiodarone and would you recommend? Many thanks

My medication is being changed from Amiodarone 200mg and Metoprolol 50mg x3 a day to Flecanaide 50mg x2 a day and reduce Metoprolol to 25mg x3 a day.

Amiodarone seems to make a little dizzy. Fatigued. And a slower hr. I’ve only been on it a week. I think it should be changed. Any views?

Flecanide compared to Sotalol or Amiodarone grateful for any pointers.

Was given this yesterday as heart rate to high to do Eckocardiogram so referred to cardiologist who put me on Dejoxin. as well as bisoprolol and amiodarone?

For the first month after the cardioversion I was on Xarelto and Amiodarone .Two weeks ago the Amiodarone was replaced by Sotalol .I take 80 mg night and morning Since starting this drug I have been extremely tired ,I could sleep all day and all night .From doing all day walks I have gone down to finding

My husband has AF and been back and forth for nearly 4 years now. 3 cardio versions , amiodarone which has now taken its toll on his thyroid and is undergoing treatment for that. Is there a time frame from diagnosis of AF for an ablation to actually be helpful?

I was prescribed Amiodarone Low dose (200mg) 1 per day .doctor is going to try cardioversion. Has anyone self convert from taking amiodarone or had bed experiences with this medication!

I’ve just been put on Amiodarone this week for A Fib. I converted after 14 hours and being in th ER they started Iv amiodatone. Got release in 48 hrs but felt a little dizzy or unsteady. My heart rate has lowered into the fifty’s when trying to sleep. Anyone had these problems

Trying (again) to come off Amiodarone (in NSR) and have started to get the nasty feeling in my solar plexus that I get when I'm on the edge of going back into AF, plus lots of ectopics. Have talked to my Cardiologist in the past about this and it doesn't seem to be a recognised thing.

I have been prescribed amiodarone 200 2x 2 weeks 1x 2weeks for post-ablation but did not handle any drugs well especially calcium blockers which it contains before hence the ablation.

I've been recommended to have a second cardioversion with Amiodarone. Does anyone else have experience in this procedure. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I have just received a letter from my cardiologist saying that I am going to be put on Amiodarone to help keep me in rhythm after my cardioversion. After researching the drug I see it’s a black box drug with toxic nasty side effects.

Now 71 and in Sinus not as breathless and Im told that will improve in 6/8 weeks I’m off the amiodarone and Digoxin still on Rivaroxaban and ibrasarten and will be for life. I even had a glass of bubbles with no ill effect. So I’m well chuffed hope it lasts. . Merry Christmas everybody

I took 1 xarelto and 1 amiodarone. I was wondering if I needed to take 1 flecainide or do I just need to wait? Thank you for your help guys.
