@cturner01 Hi and Welcome to Connect, I see from prior posts you have afib so I wanted to say the reason I was on Amiodrone was for a different heart issue called Ventricular Tachacardia or VT but a similar problem of irregular heart rythums. Mine was the lower heart where I believe afib is the upper heart.
So Based on that I was on it for almost 10 years and it along with my pacemaker and a few ablations were successful for quite a while. But also know that long term use of Amiodrone did cause issues, towards the end prior to my heart transplant (It wasn't the cause but it is a strong drug) it gave me issues with my thyroid which had to be removed and at the end was the cause of becoming toxic to me in a very high dose by IV. So being your case is short term it should be fine and it is a great drug to control arrythmias. I hope that helps.
Have a blessed Day
Dana
