86 with A-fib, next step?
I was put on 200mg
amiodarone
. She did not give me a "loading dose" and it basically did nothing for me. I elected to stop it (due to the toxic side effects), I paid to go for a consult with an outside cardiologist who said to get off amiodaron immediately and try Sotalol.

Amiodarone
Why does everyone refer to this drug as toxic? I have just been put on it (first day today) and the consultant did warn me that the maximum time on this drug is 6 months and explained the contra indications after that; he put me down for an ablation to be had sometimes in June. I have been on 2.5 Bisoprolol

Today would have been my ablation day ! Update........
Three weeks ago, a blood test confirmed the
Amiodarone
has affected my thyroid and made it overactive.
Amiodarone
was stopped immediately and my ablation cancelled ( much to my great disappointment) until my thyroid is under control.

Chemical Cardioversion with Amiodarone tablets
I had to stay on
Amiodarone
for a month. 400mg Monday to Friday, then the weekend off. I reasoned back: I had the evidence in my bag: Flecainide is the best for post-op treatment. He said, loads of people are on
Amiodarone
, the side effects kick in after 6-9 months.

New here, wanted to say Hi to all and thanks!
I had a further shock from my ICD and went to see a new specialist; he talked to me about having an ablation and offered me the option to try
Amiodarone
first.

Post ablation worries
I was given
amiodarone
bisoprolol and rivaroxaban in December after a week of constant afib. I cardioverted but decided to have ablation asap so I could hopefully come off meds. I felt really well before the procedure but have been in af and tachycardic ever since.

Surgical ablation
My EP recently told me that my only option left, other than trying
amiodarone
again which I don't want to do, is to have a surgical ablation. I've had 2 ablations previously, but not the surgical one.

Driving whilst taking Amiodarone
Can anyone tell me if I am allowed to drive if I'm prescribed
amiodarone
? I'm waiting to find out if if I have WPW Syndrome which is a particular type of AF. I see that they may prescribe it while waiting for ablation treatment.

fast heart beat with over active thyroid
Had Ablation a month ago think its worked apart from a few eptopic beats, been on
Amiodarone
for over a year and since Ablation heart beat resting rate is around 100, and got over active thyroid, so seen a speciialist and done some blood tests, he said if your thyroid is over active it can cause fast

Enlarged atrium and AF
I am 4 weeks into
Amiodarone
with no nasty effects yet, but no benefits either, also Bisoprolol 10mg daily as well as warfarin. I am very down as I feel as if there is nowhere to go as have been told that cardioversion/ablation is unlikely to work because of the enlarged heart.

Hybrid Ablation
I am very pleased with this, except for the requirement to be on
amiodarone
for the three months between the procedures.

AF after ablation
I converted and the
amiodarone
was reduced to one daily. I stayed in nsr and felt great. I decided to go for ablation privately as didn't want to stay on drugs. Had this done one week ago and went straight back into afib. Still the same a week later. Is this normal?

Currently on

Cryoablation
I take rivaroxiban,
amiodarone
and bisoprolol I was in nsr and pulse was 50 - 60 bpm I felt really well before the op but now my pulse is fast and irregular. How long before things calm down? Also I have had bad diarrhoea for 12 hours. Could this be related?

Interesting read - what are the thoughts?
In other words, iodine fulfillment therapy is done in place of
Amiodarone
, not together with it.
Amiodarone
and iodine at the same time can be dangerous.

Feeling startled?
She is currently on Coumadin, Diltiazem, and
Amiodarone
. She was diagnosed with Afib when she got the pacemaker implanted. This past week she went to the hospital due to her afib and in the end the doctor performed a cardioversion which got things back to normal.
