Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 A few months ago my EP doc started me on amiodarone. I started on 400mg/day orally and a few weeks later I went to the hospital for IV infusion for 3 or 4 days. Even before I went to the hospital for the IV I had some side effects. When I went home after the IV I had more side effects and some of the original side effects worsened. My EP lowered the dose to 200mg/day and after a few weeks some of the side effects subsided. The doctor said that he was not sure that the lower dose would be effective in preventing shocks from my ICD. Is anyone on amiodarone 200mg/day? If so, is it effective?
