I have been taking digoxin since aug 1996 .25 mg with no negative side effects. It stopped my atrial fibrilation overnight and it has not returned

i suppose I should ask more questions but any digoxin toxicity i may have experienced should be gone. A month ago i was switched from the digoxin 125mcg to pradaxa 150 mg twice daily. No ill affects yet. It would really be difficult for me to tell. i suffer from severe shortness of breath because of my copd/emphysema. I keep telling my wife I'd rather be dead but she won't take the hint. Maybe she'd rather not go to jail, you think? And yes, i am told the pradaxa along with the ablation performed at the time of the drug switch are both for the a-fib that triggered 21 defibrillation episodes from my implanted defib/pacer in an hour. i only had the Medtronic for a week when this occurred.That was a wild ambulance ride. The poor EMT had no clue and no experience with what I was going through.We were even. i had no experience with it either. And believe me, it was an experience that I would gladly have gone without.

If you are on Digoxin 125 mcg , I would be very careful. They put my husband on this drug in June for rapid heart beat, after being in the hospital. His main problem is COPD. He went from the hospital to a nursing home for 11/2 months. Came home and wasn't any better. After being home for a month with all kinds of nurses coming to rehab him he was getting worst. He couldn't breath, therefore couldn't do anything, was also on lorazepam. Was in bed most of the day. On Mon the dr took him off Digoxin and the next day he was a different person, and his heart beat is lower than when he was on the drug.
