Sounds like your doctors are right on regarding Amiodarone. I was on it 10 years ago for about 6 months and was asked to come off because of toxicity I had read about (not from symptoms) and EP agreed.

Took many months to slowly come off amiodarone. In 2026 had bouts of tachycardia and was put back on amiodarone 200 mg twice a day then as then to 200 mg once a day.

My EP said since I had no toxicity form previous use might leave me on a low dose. It is extremely important to have your medical providers do test to determine and signs of toxicity. Amiodarone is a very strong medication that works but comes with caveat of toxicity.

For me 10 years after coming off yearly test with ophthalmologist showed no damage. And I just saw one this year which showed no damage. I will not be required to ophthalmologist every year for check up.

My PCP is doing additional blood test to monitor the amiodarone affect on my organs. My EP saw that my previous use of Amiodarone showed no toxicity he was not as concerned with me on it now that he was 10 years ago.

I think important to those on MCC realize amiodarone is a powerful drug that works. But it has toxicity issues that will or will not affect the patient and need to have test done to catch it early. Just remember it is a "go to" drug to curtail arrythmias and tachycardia and for most does work very well.
