@gabriig most of the adverse reactions faded fairly quickly for me. 1-2 days. Except the GI issues that took 5 months. They even ran GI testing and found basically nothing. It’s been 9 months And I’m still having some very slight problems. I changed my diet drastically lots of plain salmon and sweet potatos or red potatoes helped a lot. Now still it’s basically plain everything and I went/still go to acupuncture. Pepcid and GasX were my best friends. I raised the head of the bed up 6 inches and sometimes I even slept in a chair. No real caffeine and no drinking from straws. My nightly relaxation routine calms me and I sleep well most nights
On a good note I lost 3/4 of the weight that I gained while on Diltalizan.
With all the changes I’ve had no Afib and I just biked 15 miles. Earlier in the year I was a basket case with lots of intense Afib. It seemed like all the Drs wanted to do was medicate me. Arminodrone and Multeq or ablation that they gave me a 70% chance of working.
Now it’s just a beta blocker carvedilol and a tiny dose of the anticoagulant Warfarin.
Pharmacy thinks the standard dose of Eliquis or any of the newer drugs was over dosing me.
