Dronedarone(Multaq) and lungfibrosis
My cardiologist suggested I start with Dronedarone four years ago and I was clear in telling him of my reduced lungfunction but he reassured me that there was no risk of my developing lungfibrosis with Multaaq (Dronedarone)as opposed to the original drug
Amiodarone
.

Amiodorone anyone?
Following a short-lived success with cardioversion, my EP cardiologist has prescribed
Amiodarone
200mg daily. So not a massive dose. The waiting list for ablation is long, so this is a stop gap.

weaning from amiodarone
Replying to Bro Thomas about
amiodarone
The
amiodarone
did stop my afib problem I’m sorry to hear it has not helped you. My Dr did wean me off the drug as you described.

AFib Burden
He would treat either by doing an ablation or with
amiodarone
. The thing is my underlying condition is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and I have been told that ablations are less successful with that condition.

Flecainide: Worse AFib attack ever after being prescribed at a+e admission
Kept in ACU for 4 days and put on
Amiodarone
which has kept a fib at bay but now got an additional heart problem namely angina which has changed my life more so than afib. Hence I truly believe that the cardiologist should be held accountable for the action she took.

Coming off Amiodarone
After being on
amiodarone
for about 2 years without it having the desired effect of prolonging a cardioversion, my cardiologist has advised, via my GP, that I should stop taking it as of now.

Amiodarone
Following the cardioversion my EP reluctantly put me on
Amiodarone
with the intent to wean me off in 4-6 months. He started me at 200 mg and after a month cut that back to 100 mg.

AV Node Ablation
I was disappointed with her attitude, she said that she didn't have a magic wand to wave and what did I expect at 82 (which I thought was very rude) She told me that I had 3 choices - do nothing - take
Amiodarone
(which can cause a lot of problems) or AV Node Ablation.

amiodarone & peripheral neuropathy
of
amiodarone
through a drip and a further full bag of 900 over 24 hours, which I might add burnt the hell out of my veins. Additionally I now have 200mg/day in tablet. A bit of searching reveals an
amiodarone
side effect of peripheral neuropathy which I think is almost certainly what I have.

Ablation update and reassurances.
I felt worse than ever before but Doc said to take 200mgs
amiodarone
on the 5th and would schedule a cardioversion if I didn't go back into NSR in next couple days. Well, lo and behold, went into NSR on the 6th and been afib free since.

stay positive….
I’ve yet to se what’s what after I come off the
Amiodarone
in three months time but keeping fingers and toes crossed. Just wanted to say “ Hang on in there” if you are waiting for a CV.

Changing from Amiodarone to Digoxin
I have been told that the treatment for my peripheral neuropathy is not suitable when taking
Amiodarone
so the pharmacist has suggested that I change to Digoxin. Has anyone done this or can give me an idea about taking digoxin?

Three shocks in last twelve months and not been to hospital, anyone else had a similar experience?
And for context I'm on a very high dose of beta blockers, take
amiodarone
(since 2017) and also mexilitine (since 2021) so as far as I'm aware there is nowhere else to go drug wise as I'm already on the alleged most effective (and deadly) drugs already.

breathlessness, exercise and sotalol
I moved from 2.5 mg bisoprolol having agreed to go on the waiting list, 6-9 months for an ablation, and the other option,
amiodarone
, I didn't like the sound of the side effects at all.

Heartrate after a Cardioversion
My resting heartrate is 52bpm after Cardioversion has returned me to rhythm.I am still on
Amiodarone
and having difficulty with throbbing headache while resting and short of breath/tightness in chest when walking. I usually walk at 3mph but can only walk at 2mph since heartrate has dropped.

Dronaderone
I wonder whether the Dronaderone is actually making things worse, My cardiologist is now advising
Amiodarone
to see if that controls things any better. Does anyone have any experience wth this?

Thyroid dosage for elderly Mom
note thru her my chart regarding her thyroid dosage.. just a little back story.. had iodine ablation a few years ago, (was hyper).. that led to hypo, and was put on synthroid, i think it started at 50, and went as high as 100 as a dosage... at that time she was also on an anti arrhythmia drug called

Thanks for your earlier support for my 1st ablation. But now more questions.
Even prior to my ablation I was in NSR on 300mgs a day of
Amiodarone
with maybe a couple of short episodes a month now I feel like I'm worse off then before. I'm still on
Amiodarone
200mgs Metoprolol and Eliquis but this episode is worse than any I've had in the last 2 years.
