After 9 months of normal sinus rhythm, my A-fib came back with a vengeance tuesday morning the 27th. After a trip to the ER I was sent to my new cardio for followup. He immediately took me off the amiodarone I had been on. Then he asked if I would like to try a new drug Multaq. Anything but amiodarone I told him. He even gave 6 days of free samples. Because they only have a half life of 24 hours you have to take 400MG each morning and evening. You better have good insurance because they're $7 for each pill, but mine were a $30 co-pay. I was told there will be no generic for 15 years!
Anyway, I'm still in A-fib, but I can't even feel it like I used to in the past, so maybe this is a better product for A-fib. I've been told it is amiodarone without the iodine, and the bad side affects! I'll keep you guys posted on how I handle the new med and if it converts me, and when. So far, so good!!
Best wishes
