My mother only started taking this medication about a week ago. She was weak before but even more so now. I'm trying to pin down which of her mass of medications may be causing the problem. I think from all your comments, this may be a contributing factor. Published: July 06, 2009 ::
I recently started taking 80mg 2X a day and have ben increased to 160mg 2x a day. I previously was taking 50mg toprol but went back into A-fib. I feel the sotalol is more efective then the toprol was for me. I had my third cardioversion 2 days ago. I haven't had time for weight gain yet and don't notice mood changes. I find it odd that noone mentoned the dosages they take. I'm 44 yrs old. Published: May 15, 2009 ::
