Hello @drowland,

I wanted to check in on you to see if you have learned anything knew with about your medications and how you are currently doing? I'd also like to invite @gil101 and @geomom who both have shared their experiences and questions with taking midodrine. @fastheart12 and @jmvidesgarcia9800 have experience with Ivabradine and may be able to share some of their experiences with that medication as well.

@gloaming brings up a good point about pharmacists being more of the expert on medications and their desired outcomes as well as contraindications. However, your cardiologist knows your heart the best and has reasoning for prescribing each medication. As @gloaming mentioned, are you able to now contact your cardiologist again to discuss your pharmacist's concerns with the medications potentially causing an issue with your history?

@JustinMcClanahan ivabradine has been working really good for me. I was skeptical at the beginning as I am also in a low dose of amiodarone (100 mg 2/day) and the pharmacist told me that I should be very careful taking those two medicines together. I spoke with my cardiologist and she told me to trust her and take it. My dose of ivabradine is 2.5 mg 2/day and I can tell you that I have been experiencing less episodes of arrhythmia and have a sensation of wellbeing
