Constipation

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

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.

Titrating down from 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.

Amiodarone Meds after Ablation

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.

Amiodarone effects

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?

Ablation time frame - diagnosis to procedure

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?

That solar plexus feeling...

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.

Drugs

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.

Amiodarone and side effects

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.

Back in AFIB after 2 years free

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.
