Re: Sotalol/Lil

[Guest guest]

Lil I have been on Sotalol for about two years. I was afraid to start the

drug but I don't have any problem with it now. I was tired for the first

three to four weeks but after that my body adjusted to it and I was fine. I

just

took a little nap each day and that got me on track. I started on 80 mg and

had a breakthrough then went up to 120 and now I am on 160 mg. I feel calm

on it and out of all the drugs I tried previous this is the one I like the

best.

Thanks a, that's encouraging- good to know that this drug works well for

you. I guess my EP is thinking, since I have done okay on beta blockers, if

I need something else this is the most likely choice. (?)

a, one of the things I notice about your message is that when the Sotalol

wasn't handling your problem well enough, your doctor increased the dosage by

half, not doubled it as so many seem to have.

Maybe you did better with it because your dosage was gradually increased instead

of abruptly increased.
