4703993 tn?1379768388 Ok so I am not getting the side effects at that tiny tiny dose... but it is also doing nothing for my heart rate... he said atenolol is the only beta blocker he is willing to try because it is the least strongest of all.....

Avatar f tn It takes very careful experimentation to find just the right dosage. There are so many adverse side effects, and with so many new modern alternatives available, my physician would have to a lot of explaining to do in order for me to take it today.
Avatar n tn Digoxin should generally be avoided in patients with preserved left ventricular systolic function, although it has been used for ventricular rate control in the subgroup of patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. Cardiovascular side effects have been reported the most frequently.
Avatar f tn They should tell you what the clinical studies showed, side effects and all of the pertinent information....good luck to you....
Avatar f tn Medicines that were tried and discontinued for either side effects or not helping- lopressor, florinef, midodrine, and verapamil. Currently, I am not being treated by any physician for my P.O.T.S.. After a recent abnormal holter monitor, during which my heart climbed as high as 160 (standing after sleeping), a doctor asked me if I'd ever taken digoxin.
Avatar n tn Your heart rate is low, but it is not considered a problem when being treated for a heart disorder. My doctor said the lower the better, but if there are side effects then the medication should be adjusted. Lowering the body's pulse effectively means the heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump blood throughout the body, it becomes a more efficient organ.
Avatar n tn Is amiodarone as safe a drug as digoxin or linoxin for A-fib as far as long term side affects are concerned?
Avatar f tn Appareantly those are normal side effects from that medicine. It might take a while to get used to it, if not you should definitely ask to try another one!
2021358 tn?1328748117 It is an old drug which was used for heart failure years ago. Unfortunately, I had bad side effects and had to cut my dose in half. Even if the MD does't go along with the digoxin, they are the specialists to see for the vagal nerve.
Avatar f tn I was on it for a week and ended up in ER due to some nasty side effects like chest pain and severe weakness and shortness of breath. However, I can take a different CCB (Diltiazem) without much trouble. Some people are on beta blockers for years and do well. I hate to say it but it kind of a drug roulette. All the doctor can do is have you try something and see if it helps you. If not, there are other choices out there.
Avatar n tn Did you take Tikosyn? What were side effects, etc.

Avatar f tn It is known to be a very effective medication but not without side effects. I also believe that it is not a drug for long term use because of side effects. I took it briefly after my ablation for a fib. It caused hand tremor and was withdrawn after a couple of weeks because of that. There is a very long half life with amiodarone, and it may take weeks for it to completely vacate your system. A google search should give you a lot more and accurate info.
Avatar f tn So today my Celexa dose was upped from half a pill to 1 whole pill and the side effects are coming back like when I first started... Sweaty, can't sleep, headache, stiff neck, clenching teeth... Etc. I don't know what to do. I tried taking stuff for it, including an Oxy but still no change. What can I take to make these side effects not so bad? I don't see the dr till Thursday, so I can't ask her... If anyone has any suggestions?
1608566 tn?1298196868 Have him talk to his doctor about changing his dose, breaking down the dose over the course of the day or maybe even changing the med to some other.
Avatar f tn just a quick question if anybody can answer it for me dose a dose increase in fluoxetine (prozac) cause any side effects? I'm going from 20mg per day to 40mg tonight due to the fact i'm feeling the 20mg isn't working as good as it has done for me.
Avatar f tn I agree with everything pointed out above. It is way too early to in the healing process for anything to be "normal". You're going to need to give it a lot of time, perhaps up to a year for things to settle down. I get skips and little runs of SVT, and mine was down over 4 years ago. Keep in mind that the conductive circuit remains within your heart. Nothing was removed or taken out. Only a tiny scar tissue barrier was burned across it to prevent conduction.
Avatar m tn I took Amiodarone for 9 months for SVTs. I stopped the drug because of the nasty side effects. The skipped beats were gone by then and haven't returned since.
Avatar f tn If a doc wanted to start an ACE or a beta-blocker.. it is not a really big deal. Very common, lots of data available, fairly few side effects... There are other meds which you don't go into so lightly. Flecainide, sotolal, tikosyn, amiodarone... When I see some of these on my pt list of meds, it screams there is a problem- that simpler solutions couldn't fix. If you haven't tried the simpler ones yet, it is definitely a better place to start.
Avatar f tn This last week, I am feeling very good other than the med side effects. You mentioned that you have had some severe side effects, what are your effects like please? I am going to a new doctor on Thursday for a second opinion on the meds and regarding the ICD that the other cardio wants me to consider. Thanks for posting your notes and for any advice you may have on the toprol.
Avatar f tn Like... they said at 10mg there are very few side-effects and at 20mg there are noticeable side-effects. But, you obviously don't want to change the dose on your own, as this can be extremely dangerous! But, it would be worth talking to your doctor about if the side-effects don't go away fast enough. Although... most of the time... with SSRIs in general I find, it can take 2 to 4 weeks for side-effects to go away and then they're gone for good.
Avatar f tn Of late Iam having many side effects because of the prolonged usage of themedicine like restlessness,,slight giddiness anxiety and gabbraut.The medicine is only to supplement the shortage externally.Do you agree Homeopathy treatment will be advisable.Ihighly value your input.
