Anyone experience amiodarone induced neuropathy?

Posted by sciscented @sciscented, Jul 31, 2021

I saw the neurologist this week where he performed an EMG test.
Turns out I’m suffering fro neuropathy. When he looked at my medication he determined that my situation was caused by Amiodarone which I’ve been using for three years following an AFib situation. He informed my cardiologist about this which he in turn changed the medication to TRIZIAC immediately.
Does anyone out there had this situation?

TY John. Dr is fully aware. I pasted the following: you should know that amiodarone may remain in your body for several months after you stop taking it. You may continue to experience side effects of amiodarone during this time. Be sure to tell every health care provider who treats you or prescribes any medication for you during this time that you have recently stopped taking amiodarone: What is the definition of several months?

I’m not a medical professional but I think the definition in this case means more than a month and less than a year. I also think it’s just a guess based on what others have reported.

Yes! T have neuropathic pain on the side of my wrists and thumbs and a bit in my toes.

Plus, today, I just discovered I have corneal infiltrated due to Amiodarone. So please everyone see your eye doctor.
