Am I still Amiodarone dreaming?

Day 1141.

I had a noticeable increase in vivid dreams since I started taking Amiodarone. Last year that escalated to some pretty intense nightmares.

So what has happened since then?

My cardiology team suggested that the nightmares might be more likely caused by taking Bisoprolol. I started taking Bisoprolol more than 6 months before starting Amiodarone. So I was not convinced.

I reduced my Bisoprolol dosage on the advice of my cardiologist to see if it had any impact. It did, but not on the nightmares. I began having chest pain every day. And there was no change to the nightmares.

So I made an executive decision to go back to my usual Bisoprolol dose.

I had no closure on the Amiodarone in the end.

I still have dreams every night. But the nightmares thankfully stopped. The last few I had was in February earlier this year. That is 13 months of nightmares all in. But it is easy to forget about it once it is stops happening.

In fact, I forgot to discuss it with my cardiologist at my annual appointment.

I’m just happy to have regular dreams again.
