Hi @jmr091805,

I have been taking Camzyos 5 mg for 14 months and my echocardiograms never indicated the need to change it to 2.5 mg. I know someone who has had lowered the dosage to 2.5 mg (from 5 mg) and he is doing very well. I know it is a big burden that we have to talk to the cardiologist office then the online pharmacy on the phone with the tipical 30 minute phone call and answer the same 12 questions every month and I take it as some kind of socializing in my life (I do not have that many family or friends) so I try to be positive on this burden. The results have been amazing. From the very first week I have no longer any angina at all (I had it for 15 years, I am 65 years old). I am able to walk fast, go jogging at a moderate speed, sleep on my left side when I go to bed (before I could not even do that). Now, I have almost a normal life (other than the burden mentioned above) but overall I try not to feel stressed by feeling blessed by God that I have access to this medicine that is only available here in the USA and some parts of Canada. Other people overseas have no access to this medicine with the uncertain future about their lives.
From the beginning I have had strong faith on this medicine and if the Cardiologist lowered your dosage is because of the guidelines given by Bristol Myers Squibb Laboratory that manufactures Camzyos for our best benefit. I highly suggest you to take the "burden" as some kind of positive experience that allows you to live longer with this wonderful Camzyos that is working very well on me. Have faith in your Cardiologist who has been Camzyos trained and Certified (not all Cardiologist have the privilege of that training to prescribe this medicine). So after you start taking the new dosage of 2.5 mg per day, write down any change in your heart that you feel is bothering you that did not bother you while you were taking the 5 mg and communicate to your Cardiologist as soon as you can with no anxiety about that for at least you have a Cardiologist qualified to prescribe this medicine. I suggest you to try to put in your mind in a positive way that all will be ok, the worst thing on this medicine I notice is to let any situation to create any kind of anxiety for it appears on me (not on everyone) that any anxiety is not good for our health and may affect my heart health as well. God bless you and if you have any question, please do not hesitate to drop me a message here.
