[Guest guest]

Amiodarone stays in your system for about one year. My EP told me. I was

having trouble with my eyes also. I was losing my hair, my palpatations

were worse on Cordarone (amiodarone brand name) then when I was off it.

Long term can kill your lungs. I am now on Cadizem la and coumadin. Doing

better. still get flip flop episodes.
