Amiodarone

Anyone on this?

Care to tell me about your dreams.....

My mum took it for a short period a year or two ago. Made her feel utterly ste to the point she wanted to give up (living).

Needless to say she came off it.

So I'd say nightmares rather than dreams

Was on it for about 7 weeks a couple of years ago, nothing at all to report, didn't bother me one bit. Apparently it's not nice stuff though.

I had AF in January 2020 and was prescribed Amioderone. I absolutely hated it.

Every night I had really morbid nightmares - either me being violently killed, or me violently killing someone else. I normally sleep really well.

I complained to my GP and Cardiologist, but they said that it was too big a risk to stop.

Got a third opinion in July 2020 who said to come off, but get ablation ASAP.

I did, the nightmares stopped and I now feel fine. I am still taking Exarelto which buggers up my digestive system so I supplement them with probiotics 3-times per week and now thats fine.

Moral, every drug has contraindications. What really surprised me is that there is no systematic research being done on the effects of taking multiple medications. Stamford University are using AI to predict 2 taken at the same time.

I also take Asthma, blood pressure and enlarged prostate drugs. I suspect that one thing tends to lead to another as you get older.

I've been on it since 2017.

Not a nice drug, it keeps you alive whilst killing you slowly.

As for dreams, not really noticed or cannot remember back to when I first started taking it about any dreams.
