Today is day 48 since I stopped taking Amiodarone. The numbness in my hands and feet is still there and continues to bother me during dialysis and sleep. I read online that the averaeg half-life of Amiodarone is 58 days, with a range from 15 to 142 days. Hopefully I’m average in this case, and there will be some reduction in the neuropathy in ~10 days.
Unfortunately, the article also says:
Chronic administration of Amiodarone hydrochloride tablets may lead to peripheral neuropathy, which may not resolve when Amiodarone hydrochloride tablets is discontinued.
If that’s the case, then my experiment with acupuncture better work or I’ll need more medication for the neuropathy.
