Amiodarone Clinical Trials for low dose medication
I take 200mg maintenance of Amio daily and became intrigued as to what was a low dose? After some research i realised that the majority of trials were decades of years old, some of which had few sampling numbers but that 200mg was being quoted as a "small" maintenance dose. Then i came across a relatively

Backed off on the Amiodarone and went back into AF. What are my options?
I was started on
Amiodarone
to convert me out of AF. 800 mg/day for three days converted me. Was given a green light to halve it but began waking up at 4 am with a bad headache and other side effects. Was told to stop for a day or so and then halve it again, but I took another day off.

Lowest maintenance dosage of Amiodarone daily?
Wondering, too, if I can simply stay off the
Amiodarone
until Monday? So far, still in NSR. Clearly, this med is not being well tolerated by me. Ablation scheduled for October 3.

Just started
amiodarone
yesterday. Instruction leaflet scared the living daylights out of me! Day 2 now and so far so good. Main issue for me is that I have been permanently knackered for about 2 years! Cardioversion planned in next couple of months.

RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH HEART FAILURE
He is on
Amiodarone
, furosamide and amlodipine. He is also diabetic - Type 2, diagnosed 12 years ago. The last few days he seemed to have a lot more energy but today he says he feels like he has butterflies in his chest. His heart rate is irregular and he doesn't have any energy.

Failed cardioversion
I had a failed cardioversion two months ago and had
amiodarone
added to my list of medications to help. I had another cardioversion yesterday and although it worked this morning the AF is back. I have put a call in to the cardiologist but am now feeling quite disheartened.

Worried
Recovering from severe heart failure diognosed back in April.Feeling better now but have gained enlarged heart and irregular heart beat.On all usual meds exept Digoxin has been replaced with
Amiodarone
before one more cardio version.All seems ok but the picture looks a bit bleak due to my EF being impaired

Afib & cardioversion
Converted rather quickly with metoprolol and
amiodarone
. Its now returned ànd the drugs have not converted it to normal sinus rhythm and are wanting to do an electro- cardioversion. Should I skip this and just elect for an ablation?

Post cryoablation- anxiety
I was on flecinaide and then had 2 cardioversions, one worked very briefly while on
Amiodarone
. I went back into NSR and then it converted on it's own. Month later, back in AFib. I guess I have drug resistant (
Amiodarone
) paroxysmal AFib and just had cryoablation 4 days ago.

One month post ablation
He prescribed
Amiodarone
, which I queried because this is a medication that I wanted to avoid. I have not been 'pre-loaded' and it is a low dose (200mg). I have to admit: my palpitations have stopped and I am in NSR. Thanks doc!

Afib, Flecainide and Exercise
Then I suffered Afib which lasted two months before returning to normal after
Amiodarone
. Since then on Flecainide and had two mini episodes 2 and 5 hours. Now I find its is taking me 5 minutes longer to do the same distance and I have to keep stopping as I feel I've given my all.

Atrial Fibrillation/Blood Pressure Meds Connections
Doc put me on
Amiodarone
. Other meds include BP meds, some of witch cause "irregular" beats. Interested in AF as related to "irregular" hearts beats. Suspect BP meds are causing problems resulting in AF. Anyone ran into these issues or connected BP meds/AF?

Stopped Pills - Heart went back to sinus rhythm
I still take my Warfarin (always will) and Levothyroxine for an underactive thyroid - which you may remember was caused by my taking
Amiodarone
. I have known for quite a while that some fillers in pills don't agree with me.

Amiodarone
Has anyone any experience of this drug. As got admitted with A/F again and Bisoprolol and Degoxin did not slow heart rate so been put on this with 7.5 mil Bisoprolol per day. Side effects on instruction sheet are quite frightening ??

Works but the side effects
Hi Mike, I did have the same two meds as you but really found
Amiodarone
to be tough on me.

Ablation
So much so they are taking him off the
amiodarone
thank goodness, and have suggested the next step is ablation? The waiting list is six months and this is open for discussion and is an option. .

Amiodarone after effects
I stopped
Amiodarone
a little over two months ago. How long will it take for it to come out of my system?

Hi people I have a question maybe you can give me input on
Off of
amiodarone
for one month and seeing my EP on Monday and we are going to discuss going on a new medication to ward off my AFIB. Really need a medication that won’t cause a number of side effects as my life is just about getting back to normal after three years.
