Hi Mike
I was on it for 7 months so maybe why I’m still affected by it. My primary said she would never put her patients on it! She thinks it should be gone by now but I know how I feel. I’m having carpal tunnel surgery in June and July. Drug can cause neuropathy and wonder if it is responsible for this too. Scary drug and she put on my chart to never give it to me again.

I was on this med, and I had bad reaction to it, begged dr to take me off, was given in ER , and went home on it, only on it for 1 month, my regular cardiologist I asked him if he would have done the same thing in ER, had V tack, he said yes to all that was done including pace maker, and blood pressure meds, but he said he would have only kept me on it for a little while and eventually taken me off, very dangerous drug, been off it for 1 week now and feeling better but takes 2-3 weeks to clear system

The extended use of it nearly did me in. I’ve since read the side effects of Amiodarone and I had ten of them. Unfortunately it remains in your system for weeks after you stop it but eventually I’m rid of it and my pcp put it on my chart to never prescribe it for me again. I believe I was in an emergency crisis in the hospital with afib and it was useful but should never have gone home with it!

I was on it for awhile but was taken off. It was doing damage to my lungs. I would ask if there is something else I could take.

I was on amioradone for inappropriate tachycardia for one year. I ended up getting pneumonia and almost died from it. My advice would be to talk to your cardiologist again about the risks versus benefits. I now have a pacemaker and feel pretty good. I don't mean to scare you.
