Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I had to stop taking Tikosyn because of breakthrough AF. I did not need to be hospitalized for stopping, but I had to wait several days (3 or 4) to let it all wash out of my system to get ready to be admitted for amiodarone loading. The tikosyn worked wonderfully for many months, (no side effects--just the rigorous dosing schedule), however the stress of breast cancer surgeries pushed me over the edge and I couldn't take it any more. The amiodarone 200mg has worked relatively well--just a few breakthroughs--however it lowered my heart rate to 40 during the day and 30 at night. Had a pacemaker implanted and now I feel better than I have in a long, long, time. in KC Amio 200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
