Sotalol

[Guest guest]

I had been on Sotalol for almost three years with no episodes and about three

months ago I had three attacks in four weeks, thus doubling my dose of Sotalol.

After the dose was doubled from 80 mg BID to 160 BID, I had another attack about

5 or 6 days later. Does anyone know if it takes a while for the increased

Sotalol to take effect? So far so good now.

I took Sotalol for about 10 years with generally good

control. I had to increase the dosage slowly over the

years. It took about a week for me to get back to NSR

after an increase. It stopped working for me last

year. Could not increase the dose. Put me in the

hospital and put me on Flecainide. That has given me

pretty much complete NSR all the time. A few

breakthroughs but not many.
