User Reviews for sotalol oral

I have been on this for about one year. 320 mg a day. I still have some Afib. I have an ICD implant. Only had one time that I have been shocked 5 times. This med does make me tired and out of breath. This drug has only got my heart rate between 60-70 bpm. I was born with one kidney and this is the only drug that is less harmful on the kidney. I'm 57. I can not work with this condition and the meds any more.

Had 5 icd shocks; started sotalol; no more shocks. on 160/120. some vertigo, no other side effects. i really hate VT episodes - anything is better.

Had Afib for many years able to self convert. Started Sotolol Oct 2013 after 2nd cardioversion so far so good with effectiveness. have little appetite, loss of libido, very sleepy,no energy, apathetic, short of breath on exertion. Pill is very biter, burns horribly if it gets stuck in throat. Is controling symptoms very well with only very short episodes of Afib on exertion. Sleep a lot. It works and am not a candidate for ablation

ihave over 50% of the severe ¬sosevere side effects %I would rather live w/o the med than feel so extremely bad w/all the side effects & none of the so called good effects. im also dizzy &confused..

This drug eliminates approximately 80% of my afib issues. Before taking this drug, I had to go to the ER for meds to stop afib issues. I have a pacemaker/defibrillator and use a cpap machine. All these in partnership are helping to greatly reduce afib. I experience no side effects from this drug.

lack of libido,tiredness,leading to depression

fantastic

Lowered my heart rate so that I had less stamina than with AF. Added a pacemaker and am as good as new. Strongly recommend this medication with a pacemaker if necessary.

I take 80mg of sotalol which works for the rapid heart rate, but I am tired the whole day. I have also gained weight, which will effect my diabetes. Have to talk to my doctor next week.

Not a noticeable difference. light headed at times

My afib was rare and sports induced until made worse by adrenalen. Sleep apnea was a bigger but related problem. Sotalol reduced me to 40 BPM. I can no longer run or walk fast or exercise stenuously. I am unable to exercise enough to reduce my weight. This is a catch 22 so I am inclined to wean off the drug until AFIB recurs. I think my AFIB and sleep apnea would largely go away if my weight were less. Comments appreciated.

I get tired on occasion; however, it has completely stopped my AFib.

I spent 4 days in the hospital to start on this medication had a tee and cardio version on the 4th day and came home and still no problems ..i am satisfied with my doctors choice of treatment.

I have been on this drug for 2 weeks after switching from Multaq because of the expense. The side effect I am experiencing is low pulse rate (40 to 49) which leaves me weak and light headed. I have not had reoccurrence of A-Fib - both when taking Multaq and Sotalol.

I had a cardioversion for a fib, didn't convert me. Started on Sotalol 80mg twice/day, converted to NSR 1 week later. Now just occasional PAF. Does make me tired but better than being in AF.
