Meds and ablation
Amiodarone led to underactive thyroid (unbelievable fatigue, worse than AF) and now on
dronedarone
. My question....can anyone else relate with this and the associated frustrations? Feels like a new problem each week and having major impact on work and general health.

First Experiences with Dronedarone and subsequent Liver Testing
I'm wondering how the ALT levels changed for other initial
Dronedarone
users? Thanks! Vince

Bisoprolol Experiences
He dismissed the option for Flecainide/ Bisoprolol due to bradycardia and instead recommended
dronedarone
. I followed the doctor’s advice of having a one week overlap for the two medications after having reduced bisoprolol dosage to 1.25mg.

New start on Dronedarone
I was offered the choice of Ablation or the
Dronedarone
, ablation sounded really scary as my AF prolonged episodes are really minimal but my heart rate is all over the place.

Dronedarone,yes or no.
I recently had my medication changed from lowest dose bisoprolol 1.25mg daily to
dronedarone
400mg twice daily EP, no real explanation as such, not sure if I want to take this drug, was just wondering if anybody has any advice regarding, or experience with this med. I would be very grateful.

Multaq aka Dronedarone, 400mg twice daily recommend by electrophysiologist (EP)
76 years old, on Metoprolol extended release (ER) 25 mg, Atorvastatin both once daily I was taking Metoprolol ER 100 mg once daily and feeling tired and lacking energy. I also have sleep apnea and epilepsy. My EP says Multaq is expensive but works well. I have also had a maze procedure. I am asymptomatic

6 Months Post Ablation
Been on
Dronedarone
, Flecinade, Sotalol and Bisoprolol. Thank you everyone for all your support all these years, it means so much to me especially when I felt so helpless whenever AF strikes.

Is it too late to have an ablation?
My question now is I have had A-Fib for 8 years and 4 years ago I was put on Multag (
Dronedarone
) which I thought was my miracle drug.....well it has stopped working! I have been getting more frequent attacks and have been on a 7 day monitor which showed that I am in A-Fib 27% of the time.

Dronedarone
I went to A and E and had a cardioversion which was successful ( hopefully) and have been prescribed
Dronedarone
( Multaq). I’m now expecting to have an ablation soon. Blood tests are organised with the hospital. Has anybody else had any experience with this medication?

Dronedarone as an extra med for PAF episodes?
Have had a echocardiogram and have been offered
Dronedarone
if my symptoms continue. Unsure whether to start this med. Episodes about every 2 to 3 weeks, lasting up to 12 hours. Any thoughts on this from anyone would be appreciated. Thankyou

Post ablation
Another alternative would be a drug called
DRONEDARONE
taken daily, don't know dosage, this, if successful, would negate the need for a 2nd ablation. But, there's always a but, this would entail monthly blood tests, the first at the Freeman in Newcastle and then at my local health centre.

To Ablate or Not to Ablate
Was off
Dronedarone
after one year and nothing happened until about September 2018 when I had my second AF. Hospitalised again for a day for observation and converted using IV. Was since put on Flecinade but did not suit me so switched to Sotalol until today.

Hi all Thanks for all the replies Is anyone taking
Dronedarone

Disappointed me😭
We spoke about an ablation or
Dronedarone
if the beast comes back. Decided to stay as we are for now. Then Xmas eve morning bang Af ( 4 hrs). Few ectopic since then. So very disappointed when I thought I was winning. Any advice? Ablation or
dronedarone
or do nothing.
