Disopyramide for Arrhythmia Reviews
Norpace (disopyramide) "I am a patient of HOCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) for the last 20 yrs I be used Norpace 300 mg a day for about 5 years and experienced the best relief of symptoms. I did not experience side effects other than urinary retention and dry mouth."
Norpace (disopyramide) "Overall, Norpace has been a lifesaver with few side effects that are noticeable. I have been taking Norpace for 16 yrs and have had to increase from taking two per day, three per day and they are considering 4. But, there have been no side effects at all that I can attribute to Norpace on its own, other that I cannot take it with Levaquin, an antibiotic, at the same time. No idea why, was given strong advise from the pharmacist. Appreciated his advice."
Norpace CR (disopyramide) "I have been on this medication for 22 years. I have a weird vagatone form of a-fib.I was on Procanimide for 10 years, but developed chemically induced lupus. After 4 hospitalizations and 3 cardio conversions, Norpace CR was the only drug that worked comfortably for me. Unfortunately it is currently out of production and not scheduled to be available again until March, 2018 ( today is 9/1/17. This has happened several times in recent years, there is no generic CR. MSs don't like it as it is an old drug and is contraindicated with 400 other medicines under 1200 brand names, but it works for me when most of the new drugs don't. I am 65 now and my EP wants to do a pacemaker which I intend to postpone as long as possible."
Norpace CR (disopyramide) "I have been on this medication for 11 years. It regulates the PVC%u2019s and PAC's, and slows the PSVT episodes that I get 1-2 times per year. Before this medication I always had irregular heart beats due to PAC's and PVC's and I was always tired and weak. As soon as I started using this medication I had a lot more energy. The only down fall, is that I always feel hot/humid even when its not hot/humid."
Norpace CR (disopyramide) "I have been on this med Norpace CR for 50 years and it made me have a quality life instead of miserable. I have to use the CR which keeps it level in my bloodstream. It is the only med that worked for me."
"Please stay away from this medicine. After 5 days of usage I got all the irreversible symptoms of Fibromyalgia, including muscle/joints aches, paresthesia, hyperalgesia and allodynia. I am extremely sad, my life has been ruined because of this drug. I was an extremely healthy person before I took this medicine."
Norpace CR (disopyramide) "Been on it for a year and working good for me, no arrhythmias since I have been taking. Would have rated a 10 but do have some weak and pulled muscles."
