Hi Joe,

I have been on Sotalol and Warfarin for over four months now. The only

thing now with the Warfarin is I watch my vitamin K intake more. I have not

noticed any new side effect from the Warfarin and the Sotalol together. Maybe

if you just relax and accept the new drug you will not be so stressed taking

it and your symptoms will go away? Hope your feeling better. Feel free to

write me direct anytime. Identify in subject line so your not put to spam..lol

Joe, I take Coumadin and a beta blocker atenolol, among other things. As

far as I can tell the Coumadin causes me no symptoms such as you describe.

However sometimes beta blockers ( I think sotalol is one) can make you feel

that way. When I was first put on beta blockers I was on Lopressor which

made me fee the way you describe so I was changed to atenolol. No problems

since. We each seem to respond differently to drugs and perhaps your doctor

would be willing for you to try something else instead of the sotalol, if

that is the culprit.

Good luck!

I've been on coumadin since last December and have had no side

effects from it, either alone or in combination with my anti-

arrythmic med. I get the feeling, from reading your post, that it

might be more anxiety/stress induced.

Joe:

I found Coumadin to have no side effects for me, but the sotalol was the most

hateful drug I have ever taken; its side effects became, over time,

intolerable.

I would look to leave sotalol and find/insist on another drug. I recall

many here

who had the same problem with that drug. (Some, however, did not have that

experience, but in your case (as in mine) sotalol was the demon drug. (All

was resolved once I had my second ablation with Dr. Natale.)
