Amiodarone
Has anyone had good or bad experiences with this drug! I have a friend that has taken it for a few years and now in four days has a high heart rate in 167! He has gone to the hospital twice and in less than a week had two conversions and has worked for just a few hours! Now he is in the hospital again

how to get off amiodrone
The hemotologist and other cannot find a medicine I can replace the hydroxyurea with because the few available react with
amiodarone
, ... I need to replace the
amiodarone
. with another medicine so that I can have a medicine that will allow the ulcers to heal instead of the hydroxyurea.

Coming off Amiodarone
After developing Afib (thanks to Covid) I was put on
amiodarone
, bisoprolol and edoxaban. A terrible two to three weeks followed without a wink of sleep getting the
amiodarone
into my system. I had a cardioversion a few months later (delayed thanks to doctors and nurses strikes).

Post Ablation breathlessness
The second one he had was while taking
Amiodarone
and this was still holding him in NSR 8 weeks later when he had the ablation. He felt better after this one and the breathlessness diminished but not as much as it did after the first one. Since the ablation he has stopped taking the

Reducing bisoprolol
I'm still on
Amiodarone
to control rhythm but hoping I can come off that before long and find out whether the ablation has worked!

Puzzling Tachycardia
I have been on
Amiodarone
(100 mg) for the past four years.
Amiodarone
helps, but I still get Afib episodes at least two times a month. My current question is as follows: About four to five months ago I developed a new heart condition (this is in addition to my Afib).

What s happening in our NHS ?- All the shortages.
Sleeping tablets all change - but
Amiodarone
matters. quite toxic but works and I don't like the alternatives, Flecainide for example. What next?

side effects?
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?

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.

Help sought, AIT and carbimazole
After 3 years on
Amiodarone
I was diagnosed with thyrotoxicosis. I was put on a combination of prednislone and carbimazole. Nothing much happened for 5 months with levels of T3 T4 very high and totally suppressed TSH.

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
.

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.

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 Dose
I’ve been prescribed
Amiodarone
. The 1st week’s dose is 200mg 3 times a day then 100mg per day thereafter. I’m just enquiring if anyone else has taken a daily dose of 600mg daily for 7 days when starting this drug?

Detecting undiagnosed AF
I was the subject of a paper (available on the Internet) on pulmonary toxicity (aka cryptogenic organising pnuemonia) secondary to dronedarone and
amiodarone
, so you might say that my AF is well documented. I signed up to the current OurFutureHealth study.

Worried about brother still in hospital after heart surgery
He was on
Amiodarone
medication for a 160 heart rate which took 24 hours to get back to normal but not taking anything now. His breathing is worse not better.

Daily Dronedarone is helping!
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

Do I need an ablation?
Also I’ve only had one episode of AF in the last six months although I was on
amiodarone
and now on dronedarone . I’m having the ablation under general anaesthetic and I’m concerned that both the general anaesthetic and the ablation itself will cause me to feel very unwell afterwards.
