I recently had major open heart surgery due to AF. I am taking amiodarone 200 mg. My taste is shot and food does not taste good. I am loosing weight and am depressed. Are there alternatives. If and when my cardiologist lets me get off this drug, will my taste eventually return and, if so, how long will it take. myron

effects. I have taken it for over 2 years with no side effects. It has been a
wonderful drug for me. I have taken several different drugs over the years
and none of them worked half as well as amioderone. My advise is to
serch the Internet to see if losing your taste is a side effect that has been
reported. It would be a shame to stop taking amioderone when the cause
of your taste loss in caused by. something else.
