Vats Ablation, my story.
I was on the dreaded
amiodarone
for a few weeks, lowering the dose, still on apixaban for 3 months then that stops. The only medication remaining permanently is 2.5mg of Bisoprolol, this for my hypertension, my BP is 125/78.

4 months after ablation and Amiodarone will be washed out in 2 weeks time. All looks good after 72 hour heart monitor two weeks ago.
I had my ablation done privately because I did not want to go into persistent AFib because of waiting another year on the NHS. Had 3 episodes afterwards and then just a couple of fast heart beats a month later. In the last month none. Two weeks ago had a 72 hour heart monitor fitted. Results were that

How long does Amiodarone last and stop episodes of AFib occurring after cessation. Now I feel very apprehensive and could not sleep.
The consultant realised that I was afraid of the side effects of
Amiodarone
and for that reason he said come off them. Otherwise, he would suggest I continue until January. I have had my last
Amiodarone
tablet the night before last.

Trip to GP about Amiodarone
Meantime I will stay on my Sotalol even though my breathlessness is awful.....prefer that to the possible horrendous side effects of
Amiodarone
. Let's hope I get a positive response!!!

"Eye Popping" Atrial Fibrillation
Amiodarone
for rate control is actually considered 2nd line, but are you going to give this to our patient in a hyperthyroid state? Not a good idea. If you were, then review
amiodarone
toxicity here.

Now prescribed Amiodarone
Just seen my cardiologist today who has now prescribed
Amiodarone
. He did discuss AV node ablation but wanted to try this medication first, I took Flecainide for 20+ years and then Sotalol in the last year.

Waking up with a faster heart beat because of dreams.
I have had an ablation and since have bad dreams because of
amiodarone
. Thought this was a sign that AF is still symptomatic but maybe not.

Interaction of Citalopram and Amiodarone
I was also prescribed Citalopram 10mg but still on
Amiodarone
although I told the GP I had just stopped. However, I have, after missing only a day, gone back on it again because I felt so angry with the lack of sensitivity of yet another male GP. I feel
Amiodarone
is for the moment protective.

Worried about too larger a dose for Pill in Pocket for my weight.
At the moment I am taking
Amiodarone
but will stop soon. Then it will be 12 weeks after my ablation for AFib.
Amiodarone
has been a blessing and given me peace from the 2nd week of taking it but I know that it should only be short term.

Also not only found correct dosage of Flecainide as PIP but also that Citalopram can have serious side effects when taken with Amiodarone.
