Past medications/side effectsBetapace 120mg twice a day - Hated it. Caused sexual side effects. Made me constantly tired.

Lopressor / Digoxin - this was the first combo I was on and I felt awful until I stopped the Digoxin. Had breakthrough episodes and was hospitalized and put on Betapace.
History of surgeryNone.
Future plansWaiting for the Afib RF ablation techniques to mature to a point where I am a candidate for this.
Personal commentsBeing on Tambocor has been an issue because of the number of other drugs that I cannot take because of potential interactions.

Being tired all the time cretainly does not help matters either....
