How unfortunate for you! I can't believe you went unmonitored all that time. The literature I found with just a couple of searches five years ago told me pretty much all I needed to know about amiodarone, including that it needs regular follow-up to see how one's system is handling the iodine load. I feel that it is tantamount to malpractice for someone on such a drug to not be assessed at least once a month for the first six months.
