Mike, you summed it perfectly, and oh how frustrating and scary. Reached 79 taking no meds at all, then Afib started and it's all meds with more meds to fix the problems csused by the previous meds. It becomes an endless cycle.

My neighbor allowed doctors to get on that med trolly. Previously on none. Within 6 months she died. The last med side effect was depression. She no longer wanted to live, shut her eyes for a week and gone.

I recommended to her to wean herself off all of them. I showed her that like you said it was symptoms from the meds. I cannot tell you what to do, but I would cut a sliver off all of them every day until weaned off. I would start immediately.

I am almost 76. And long story short, even a small amount of anything with caffeine in it gave me a fib episodes. Get off all coffee, chocolate, Mountain Dew, and colas if you take ANY. Please let me know if you do any of that, and the result. I have no a fib, and hack weeds for an hour or over every morning, walk up and down steep hills to town, and clean my house etc.
