 1  afib After starting on this drug, every morning my thumbs were numb, very sensitive, and started to crack and split. The only other med I take is atenolol and I've taken that for over 5 yrs w/ no probs. Anyway my thumbs were in bad condition; had to keep them bandaged. They would heal a bit and then split open again. I couldn't think of anything else that was different in my routine, so I have to blame it on the pacerone. Also, I found out this drug builds up in your body over time. F 66 1 months

 1  A-fib Facial swelling, my lips swelled, tongue swelled, eye lids swelled, swelling under my eye, testicles swelled. Weight gain. Fatigue. The swelling continues but not everyday. I had a triple bypass 2 months ago. I was put on Amiodarone pacerone for afib. 3 wks ago I had facial swelling, my lips swelled, tongue swelled, eye lids swelled, swelling under my eye, testicles swelled. Weight gain. Fatigue. After 2 trips to the ER and to my primary doctor & my cardiologist. No one could figure it out! My cardiologist took me off amiodarone pacerone. Still have afib. I've been off of it now for 2 wks. Still have swelling but not as much or everyday like I was. I'm told it takes months for it to get it out of your system. I'm currently taking probiotics to rebuild my immune system. I have come to the conclusion the less drugs u are on the better u will feel. I am feeling better not 100% yet but I'm getting there. I would not recommend this drug to anybody. M 53 5 weeks
