Make sure you talk to your doctors about taking Amiodarone and the side affects. When you get the prescription look at the side affects and what to report to your doctors.

I was on Amiodarone back in 2015 for several months after multiple ICD shocks. I asked to come off based on toxicity and my EP (electrophysiologist) agreed.

Took several months to slowly weaned me off. I then went through blood tests, and eye exams for the next 10 years. I just had a eye exam and no damage was seen to eyes and I was advised could stop being seen for amiodarone toxicity.

Then in February I had 3 ICD shocks and put back on amiodarone. It worked though and glad it was there to keep me out of tachycardias. I just had ablation surgery on LV for PVCs. It worked but still have other PVCs areas issues.

I take another medication called Mexiletine which helps with PVCs and PACs. Both together do a good job on preventing sustained VTAC and reduce incidents of PVCs. EP is deciding of slowly coming off amiodarone slowly again, taking Mexiletine away or leaving me on a very low dose of amiodarone.

My EP said if this was 10 years ago like before he would take me of amiodarone because of life expectancy. I am 79 now so my life expectancy (my words not his) is much less and being on a low dose of amiodarone is not such an issue as before.

I never had any side affects from amiodarone when taking or any toxic damage after. You will be tested for toxicity. Amiodarone is a powerful drug but it works.
