Waiting for ablation
I'm now on the list for an ablation and stopped taking the
Amiodarone
in October, a year after starting it. As far as I'm aware I'm still in sinus rhythm (based only on feeling my chest and pulse). The nurse said there was a chance I'd stay in it given the long half life of
Amiodarone
.

Ablation
I've been on
amiodarone
since then originally at 200mg and reduced in December to 100mg. I had no episodes of AF since last August and my life improved dramatically. Last week I went into AF which persisted for 12 hours before reverting normally.

Experience with amiodarone
My arrhythmia nurse took me off flecainide because of the atrial flutter and put on solatol which didn’t keep me in rhythm and Iam now in persistent AF and prescribed
Amiodarone
. I have read so many negative comments and side effects I am scared to start this drug.

Amiodarone and AF
Been on
amiodarone
and pleased to report not a single flutter since. Had transformed my life. Cardiologist wants to reduce my dose and later change me to another drug. Does anyone have experience of this. I’m nervous about what effect will be as
amiodarone
been working so well.

Another change along the way changing my carvedilol and
amiodarone
knocked me way off where I ended up back in cardiology so it was put back the way it was ,which was fine ,but I was on
amiodarone
then it was stopped and I was getting AF so I have a monitor inserted which was very painfull but necessary

Hi all I'm newbie. Anyone here have lung damage due to Amiodarone treatment?
Side effect of
Amiodarone
causes pulmonary problems that can't be reversed. Can't understand why it comes and goes after goes after about a week. Incidentally, I was on
Amiodarone
for exactly 7 weeks an 3 days. What should I do? Does anyone on this forum have lung problems due
Amiodarone
usage?

Post Amiodarone and waiting for ablation
I was on
Amiodarone
for 12 months after diagnosis of persistent AF post Covid and stopped taking it in October '23. I had a cardioversion in June and as far as I'm aware I'm still in sinus rhythm. I'm on the list for an ablation at the John Radcliffe in Oxford.

Mitral Valve Af and fed up
Cardio version worked for 5 days so was put on
Amiodarone
200mg along with the usual others, Apixiban, Nebivolol. The
Amiodarone
messed my thyroid about so was put on a higher dose of Levothyroxine.

Amiodarone
HiMy cardiologist has advised that I should start taking
Amiodarone
to help my AF. Done a bit of reading/research and looks like some high risk side effects. Grateful for any views from people that have been using
Amiodarone
and their experiences- good and bad. Thank you.

I have been on bisoprolol, entresto, warfarin,
amiodarone
and spironalactone for about 4 weeks now, and have developed pain in both wrists that feel stiff, achey and really sore by the end of the day…anyone else experience this and any tips?

what on earth am i supposed to do...cant have anti arrhythmia meds?
I was on
Amiodarone
but i was advised to stop taking it August gone due to side effects.
Amiodarone
has a very long half life (up to six months) so i suspect i have had some protection even though i stopped taking it in August.

amiodarone
I’ve been put on the dreaded
Amiodarone
by my consultant whilst I await an outpatient slot to discuss ablation. I was on the usual loading dose which was reduced gradually to one tablet per day. I’m still getting afib every day.

AMIODARONE SCARE
Emailed my EP and told him and he said it would probably take around 4 weeks before the
amiodarone
would be at full strength as supported by clinical studies.

Cardioversion
First on
Amiodarone
which kept me on NSR . As it was too toxic, my cardiologist insisted change on propanolol 2 yrs ago.But AF became permanent . Now my EP insists on cardioversion if not ablation before putting me on flecoidine . Any opinion?

Afib Medication
Doctor prescribed
Amiodarone
- bad side effects stopped using Bisoprolol - bad side effects stopped using The doctor said to stop using and if I wanted to go med-free and I have no symptoms go for it. Which I have since. I am on a list for a consultant to assess. Could be a while!

Amiodarone Report
Amiodarone
has already improved my heart significantly, as a result I am significantly less breathless and have more energy. My advice is to give
Amiodarone
a try.

dronedarone
i’ve been on
amiodarone
very successfully since a successful cardioversion last August but recently blood test showed effect on my thyroid so I’ve been switched to dronedarone which I haven’t started taking as yet.

Cardioversion with amiodarone or straight to ablation?
Heart function team suggest course of
amiodarone
combined with further CV after a few months of this medication. They have left it with me to consider what I would prefer to do.
