Anyone get over-heated from Warfarin?
I'm on Warfarin and
Amiodarone
(200mg twice a day) ready for Cardioversion next week. But since I started on Warfarin I get over-heated at night especially after getting up in the middle of the night and now with the
Amiodarone
it seems a lot worse - I feel as if I'm about to burst into flames.

INR Results
I guessed my INR was high because I'd been taking massive doses of
amiodarone
1 week 3 tablets per day, 2nd week 2 tablets per day and third week and henceforth 1 tablet per day. Those of you who take
amiodarone
will know that it builds up in your body and affects INR results.

Saw the cardio today, he has told me to stop Amiodarone and prescribed Arythmol (Propafenone). Does anyone have experience of this drug?

Phew what a day!!
Thank goodness on Pradaxa no TIA, which happened in the past, and
Amiodarone
keeps the HR at a steady 42. So just sat relaxed - methinks and take it steady. Should have been driving 65/70miles later on today to daughters so that's called off.

6 days of hell and it continues
I was immediately put back on the drugs I had taken before my ablation,
amiodarone
, and warfarin, plus digoxin. Then I was transferred onto the general cardiology ward on Monday afternoon, well it was like going into a mental health unit and I was terrified!!

Thyroid returning to normal after Amiodarone withdrawal
Amiodarone
takes many months to leave the system completely after it is withdrawn. Is there anyone else here with experience of coming off
Amiodarone
and how it affected their Thyroid function?

What usually happens after a cardioversion - I expected to come off all the meds (not all at once obviously) but that's not happening.
She did say that she would not have prescribed
Amiodarone
. I

Warfarin at last!
I had my meds changed to Flecainide and Bisoprolol, with Warfarin to be started after 4 weeks clear of my previous meds (
Amiodarone
, Clopidogral, Aspirin and Omeprzole).

Your experiences with amiodarone?
Hi, my husband's experiencing a lot of nasty side effects with
amiodarone
including depression, tiredness, chest pains, cough, shaking hands, etc etc (GP is aware of this and will review in 10 days). He was on 1200mg daily for a week post unsuccessful ablation, now down to 200mg daily.

Use of anti-epileptic drugs and risk of hypothyroidism
The risk of hypothyroidism from phenytoin use within a shorter time frame was similar that associated with
amiodarone
use. No association was shown in most of the new generation AEDs.

So Disappointed
Meanwhile I have this morning at around 10am, on the advice of my doc, gone back to taking
Amiodarone
and also a small dose of Metoprolol. However, my heart rate hasn't really dropped much at all up to now being 102 at this moment.

Amiodarone withdrawal affecting TSH
I have recently (2 months ago) come off
Amiodarone
after 7 years. After being on it for about 9 months my blood test showed
Amiodarone
induced hypothyroidism and I've been on doses of Levothyroxine varying between 25-100 mg.

Warfarin alternatives
The Levothyroxine is because I was on
Amiodarone
for seven years and it affected my pituitary gland function. This has been discontinued for two months and has affected my INR and thyroid readings.

Have my ablation date!!!
After a failed cardioversion I ended up being put on the dreaded
Amiodarone
. Which I really don't like taking! Even more so the last few months as it appears to be damaging my thyroid. The last ablation made me feel so much better, so I'm hoping for that same result this time. Jean

I had a pace and ablate procedure last year but my heart is again in AF, only 85-95, is this doing me any real harm if I just ignore it ?
I was advised I could have yet another CV (my 14th) and a course of
amiodarone
but I dread this and it never works for long. Could the long term af, which has been confirmed by my EP, cause any serious problems?

Heart Rate
To get myself out I double my dosage of
Amiodarone
for a couple of days and I have found getting on a stationary bike and really going for it flips me back into NSR.

Is there a definition of valvular AF?
I'm also on Levothyroxine and Bisoprolol 10mg but
Amiodarone
and diuretics have been discontinued. I would like to discuss alternatives with my cardiologist and understand that some of these are not suitable for people with valvular AF.
