I already have periferal neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. I have to take amiodarine for Afib, but I’m having an ablation in April followed by a Watchman. At that time the doctor will take me off the amiodarone. I already have no pain, but terrible imbalance. Should I be concerned?
DOES AMIODARONE CAUSE pn? HAVE DAD pn FOR 3 YEars
Been off of amiodarone for3 months. Cardiologist has been advised. Hopefully to get back leg strength
I checked the Pharmacopeia and amiodarone has a possible side effect of demyelinating polyneuropathy but this has occurred so rare it is not a defined side effect. Your doc can help you suss this out.
Hello @rorygirl, I hope you don't mind but I thought I would respond to your private message in this discussion you started on amiodarone causing your neuropathy. You mentioned you have started the Protocol (https://theprotocolworks.com/) but were asking if you should stop the other supplements you were already taking. I think you said in another post that some were the same as what is in the Protocol. I don't think I would take the other supplements if they are also in the Protocol.
You also mentioned you are trying wean yourself off of amiodarone. I think you really need to discuss this with your doctor since I'm assuming it was prescribed for a condition you have. Your doctor might be able to provide some suggestions or alternatives.
Amiodarone does seem to have a connection to neuropathy. This article is from 2020 but I've seen several older articles on amiodarone induced neuropathy.

Are you taking amiodarone? Have you discussed it with your doctor?
