I like Sotalol very much so far. Ive been on it now for a year, and have no

side effects, that I can't live with, such as getting up to fast makes me a

little dizzy, or a weight gain that has me cutting back on my sweets, and

especially ice cream, but I take 160mg 2x a day. I believe that this is a high

dose, but a lower dose did not keep me in sinus. I have a-fib bouts, but a

couple of months apart, and they are not really that bad either. I have tried

other types, and so far sotalol is the best. Others don't like it, and I might

not at a later time, but as others have said that they can't live with all the

side effects, Ive had none to worry about. One person said that they resisted

their Drs efforts to put them on sotalol for 2 years and was vindicated, but if

you go into a-fib, you might want to first listen to your Dr, and find out whats

best for you. Dofetilide is supposed to be great too, but some people have been

having problems with that too, so just listen to your body, and get it right.

Sotatol (betapace-f)

Ater reading quite a few of the posts in this site I'm left with the

impression that the medication that my cardio doctor put me on,

Betapace/Sotatol isn't particulary cared for by the majority of the

group. My doc recently increased my does efrom 80 mgs. to 160

miligrams a day beacuse i had a second afib attack while taking the

lower dose. Am I taking too much for a 43 year old male? Is Sotatol

really bad stuff? Thanks for the help.
