I have/had horrible nightmares on AMIO. My cardio says there are no side effects. I've been on since Feb 2021. How much longer do I stay on this????

It's important to set realistic expectations by explaining that while some side effects, like corneal deposits, are common and typically harmless, most are reversible upon discontinuation of the medication. Open communication with your physician about any symptoms you experience will help alleviate your fears and benefit further treatment plan.

Nice video...I have a lot of the skin issue..pins and needles and my upper legs are numb. I also have a tightness in my throat and a bloated stomach. On it after mitral mechanical valve replacement. 8 weeks so far at 200mg. I am cutting a small piece off now. The funny thing is they want to keep me on this for 6 months and I did not have any afib after surgery. Just a precaution....I think 6 months is pretty extreme. Any thoughts?

I would recommend discussing these side effects with your doctor and advocating for a shorter course of amiodarone, or switching to an alternative antiarrhythmic medication if needed for your specific situation.

@@jackcfchong Thanks for your response So the irritation of the skin: legs and arms is common while on amiodarone? Could it be the warfarin. As I was on painkillers I cannot figure out and hope it is not the warfarin.

Lidocaine may be a good substitute for amiodarone if QT prolongation is a concern. 😊😊

Avoid combination use with digoxin and warfarin if possible. 🤣🤣
