Guest guest Posted October 30, 2000 Report Share Posted October 30, 2000 I have been on cordarone (amio cousin) for a few years, after I got an acidic reaction to Mexitil. It does a good job of controling arrhythmia.. but some side effects are not pleasant. Biggest problem was thyroid malfunction which resulted in a sudden weight gain of 40 pounds. Vision problems come and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a drug that I tries in vain several times to take. They say it is wonderful when it works right. Unfortunately I was very allergic to it and had a very bad reaction. The first time I took it they put me in the Clinic to monitor me and then started it I developed a rash and then my eyes turned orange and the tear ducts dried. They wanted to stop it but I begged as I was trying to avoid the icd and they thought I might be able to take the drug and avoid surgery for a while. By the evening I was thrown into full blown lupus or at least that is what they said. I begged the doctor to try it one more time and finally they did and I went into respiratory failure. I still even after 9 years have bad effects from the sun. They say you must avoid a lot of direct sun. I wish I could take it though because this betapace sure makes you tired and they just keep increasing my dose as the icd is firing more and more often now. Good luck with the medicine.

My ICD is a little over 1 year old, and 3 months after installation, needed a touch of Ablation.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2000 Report Share Posted October 31, 2000 Hi all, Amiodarone (Cordarone) was the only medication that stopped my initial arrhythmia. I am doing well enough to be off it since mid-July. Caused bad sun burns, thyroid problems, and deposits in my lungs and eyes. Doing really well now. Just had gall bladder surgery on Friday. It was laparascopic but they had a lot of cutting to do. Surgery was three hours instead of 11/2 hrs. Lots of pain but I am home now and getting better every day. The best thing about the surgery was that I remained in normal sinus throughout the surgery. Sorry to all who attend Tuesday ZapChats. I haven't been able to attend but plan to be an active part again. Take care and stay zap free! Beth York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Yes I have several of the problems that you have mentioned unexplained pain in elbow, buri\ning and itching feet. Itchy spot of my right arm. Numbness and tingling in my toes and feet. I started out on betapace in 1991, and have been on it ever since. I use to take 60 x2 then they incresed it to 80x2 then it was 120x2 then 120x3 now it is 120x4 and I am a wreck. I have no energy and lots and lots of aches and pains.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 I take 80mg 2x/day(it used to be 160 2x/day). The problems I have had with the drug, I think(because the Drs. don't know) are fatigue and just plain feeling awful most of the time. In addition I have burning and tingling in my hands, tongue and feet. It's called peripheral neuropathy, and I have had dozens of tests by neurologists and rhuematologists, and they tell me there is no explanation for the fatigue and the neuropathy. They have diagnosed it as fibromyalgia, which you can't test for and which I think is another way to say, we don't know what your problem is, so we made this up. I think it's the betapace which I have been on since 1994. I think these are some of the long term effects. Have any of you had like experiences?

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 The right to get and take drugs has become sacred among the greatest generation and the baby boomers.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 That's a joke right? We're going to give a massive new entitlement to the wealthiest demographic group in the country with no means testing whatsoever?

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 I'll weigh in with an opinion now. Although not funny this is no joke. This wealthy demographic, organized (AARP) and aggressive think they need drugs. They are told by focused marketing that they need to lower their cholesterol, lower their blood pressure, get an erection, prevent hot flashes, improve their mood, fight depression, fight obesity, fight arthritis.... all with the help of drugs. Is there any good science to support that these drugs will improve their health? I don't think so. But that doesn't matter because with all these drugs mixing in their system they get dementia and don't know the difference. Of course ALL of the health concerns listed are primarily related to lifestyle, diet and exercise. Even with " bad genes " you can overcome a lot with improved a truly healthy lifestyle. But that takes work and it lacks instant gratification. As a group of health providers, Chiropractors could do a great service if we more actively managed lifestyle, diet and exercise... but I don't because I can't afford to give away my time... and neither can MD's, so they write prescriptions, and we adjust. (I know, a few of you a great job of counselling, but I don't think you are the majority). The point is, good science or not, good for health or not, the money will probably win (as in pharmaceutical dollars). What is the difference between the tobacco companies and the drug companies when you get to the bottom? The drug companies have more $$$, but how many lives are lost d/t iatrogenic/drug related causes? >From: " Don " <dpeterson@...> >< >, " BRIAN SEITZ " <dcdocbrian@...> >Subject: Re: drugs >Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2002 11:12:50 -0700 > >That's a joke right? > >We're going to give a massive new entitlement to the wealthiest demographic >group in the country with no means testing whatsoever?

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 Not against prescriptions but this is a good story: My mother in law is 80 years old. Healthy as a horse and pretty frustrated that she waited about 40 years for her husband to get home from travelling overseas as a pipefitter for companies like Bechtel. He got home, retired, and promptly died. She on the other hand remains very healthy and active. She went in for an annual medical checkup about 5 years ago and they prescribed blood pressure meds. She told them that she doesn't have high B.P. and they told her that she had a family hx. of CHD so she should begin taking it. Medicare pays for it or her insurance picks it up so she doesn't worry about cost so she followed doctor's orders, filled the prescription and (don't tell anyone but she doesn't take it). I can verify this one with her prescription and checkup results. Those wacky doctors! Never mind that lots and lots of meds. cause anemia, poor nutrient absorption, and feeling rotten so you sit around all the time which leads to other conditions. For those we have drugs too! Sorry about the harangue. I'll send some jokes later. -- Dr. Abrahamson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 - My mom has pretty bad arthritis. Diagnosed as rheumatoid but acts more like severe osteoarthritis (no joint erosion) and fibromyalgia. Her PCP put her on 800 mg ibuprofen tid. Said after awhile, " just take 3 OTC at once so you don't have to get your rx renewed and save some $ " . I suspect that because it was a capitated plan he didn't want to see her. She ended up in the hospital getting blood because of severe GI bleeding (the PCP really wanted to see her then!). She wasn't to happy. She now is primarily following a plan I set up for her utilizing fish oil, glucosamine, type II collagen, probiotics and avoidance of saturated and trans fats, avoidance of refined carbs and increased exercise....problem is the stubborn old woman takes the supplements, but still has a problem with the diet part and just can't find the time to exercise (she claims the arthritis pool is still too cold). So the problem is that even though she knows what she needs to dom knows what happens with the quick fix, and knows how crappy she feels when she doesn't do the right thing, she can't follow though! I think most of us are like this and this is why pills are so easily swallowed. - Seitz >From: Abrahamson <drscott@...> >< > >Subject: Re: drugs >Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2002 15:47:33 -0700 > >Not against prescriptions but this is a good story: > >My mother in law is 80 years old.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 et.al... Wasn't it an old chiro/osteo staying that: "An empty medicine chest is he best medicine chest." How many of us have patients who come in and they're 80-90 years of age, stalwart, have had CMT for 50 years or more, and they take a single 80 grain St.'s every day but nothing else. Right? The flipside is the retired patient who comes in that has to take a piece of paper out of their purse or wallet to scroll off all the pharmaceuticals they're ingesting, sometimes 15 or 20 drugs. These people also typically have an unbending and peculiar allegiance to their medicines and doctors. Yet, many I have seen are mentally and physically weak, neurotic, and die prematurely. It's so sad. How many people like this do you see who come to you as their last resort, don't follow through on care, then you hear they have died several months later? Any Listservers that have seen this same pattern? I've always believed there's something to the above axiom. With the exception of diabetics and other organic disease that require specific pharmaceutical support, I have always believed that less drugs means more life. scott s. drugs> >> >> > >> > > Since we have been on the topic of politics, measures and insurance, I> >would> > > like to throw out this question:> > >> > > Should there be prescription drug benefits under medicare?> > >> > > It's a hot subject with the seniors.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 NEW YORK (Reuters) - Viropharma Inc on Sunday said its experimental drug, being developed with Wyeth Inc., cut levels of the hepatitis C virus by up to 97 percent in a small 14-day clinical trial. ADVERTISEMENT The drug was given for 14 days by itself to patients infected with the virus who had not been previously treated with other medicines. The drug is designed to block an enzyme called polymerase that the virus, which can cause fatal liver damage, needs to replicate itself. Patients in the Phase I trial twice daily received 50 milligram, 100 milligram, 250 milligram, 500 milligram, 1000 milligram, or 1500 milligram oral doses of the medicine, called HCV-796, or received placebos. "Peak antiviral response was achieved at doses of 500 twice daily and higher," Viropharma said in a release, and the medicine was well tolerated. Mean virus levels were cut by 1.4 log to 1.5 log -- or 96 to 97 percent -- in patient groups receiving the three highest doses of the drug. The amount of viral reduction, however, is less than the greater than 99 percent reduction that has been shown in previous clinical trials of another experimental drug being developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc..

It took her 2 weeks to get back to normal (i.e., without those side effects) Imogene drugs One thing I have found interesting and enlightening with this group is that though one drug will help one person/child, it doesn't do the same for another. My 18yod has been on seroquel for about 3 1/2 years, it is the one thing that really helped her. I just read someone else posted that their daughter had not done well on it.
