need convincing about amiodarone

need convincing about amiodarone

Had my first cardioversion procedure yesterday with no luck at converting me to a 'healthy' rhythm. I am a 56 year old woman, on Coumadin, and have taken atenenol, rhythmal, sotolol previously. Now amiodarone is being suggested. Can anyone 'sell' me on this medication (amiodarone)? Everything I've read sounds ominous.

I had catherter ablation in Feb. for atrial fibrillation. When I was first got this, i was put on sotolol. This medicine made me so tired. I got switched to tikosyn and was on that for several months prior to my ablation. After the ablation, I was switched to amiodarone. I  have been on this for 3 months. I have no problems with this medication so far. They did tell me they would have to do liver checks on me if I stay on this for a while. I also take Coumadin 4 mg a day along with a 325 aspirin, Hoping to get off the Coudamin maybe this month.
