Hi Everyone, I am new to this group. I have been diagnosed with ARVC recently and have had and ICD put in and am now on Sotalol. I seem to be having a lot of trouble with this med....I feel very lathargic, depressed, anxiety and panic feelings etc. I can't sleep well at night as well as other issues. Can anyone tell me what they have experienced on Sotalol? I think it would be helpful if I had some other people who have taken this med tell me about their experience. Thank You!!!!
Hi Vicky, sorry you are having so many problems. I had a bout of Afib this summer and the dr put me on metaprolol and along with eliquis and it did get me back into sinus rhythm but like you it made me feel Blah- i would not say depressed but i had no zest or excitement about life. I was on 50mg twice a day he cut me to 25mg twice a day and my mood improved so much. Tell your doctor and he should be able to lower your dose or switch your meds. Hope you feel better.
Hi Vicky, how are things four months later?
I have just been told to take this and am hesitant as the Beta-blocker Propranolol which I was previously on made me feel like one of the walking dead.
