5Patient Review
2/5/2016 I was hospitalized for atrial fib and flutter, and when I got home I was still having irregular heartbeat. My primary care doctor put me on digoxin, and within just four days I was feeling so much better!
5Patient Review
7/23/2013 I got digitalis toxicity the first time I took this medication. Is it possible for this to be fatal?
4.3Patient Review
1/2/2015 While this treatment has lowered my pulse rate, I've started experiencing more headaches and stomach aches. Plus, the diarrhea is really tough to deal with. I'm not sure if the benefits are worth the side effects.
4.3Patient Review
12/11/2016 I have a condition called V-Tach, which can be life threatening. I started taking this medication several months ago and it worked great for awhile. However, I recently needed to increase my dosage from 125 mcg once a day to 250 mcg in order to maintain the same level of effectiveness. Additionally, I've experienced some fatigue as a side effect; however, it's been worth it because this is the only medication that has cleared up my scalp condition in 10 years.
4Patient Review
4/6/2015 I had a rapid, irregular heart beat before starting this treatment.
3.7Patient Review
11/25/2014 Digoxin in combination with Metoperol has effectively slowed my heart rate from atrial fibrillation down to a much healthier 65-70 beats per minute. I still experience the occasional skipped beat, but it's nothing compared to before.

12/2/2015 I had a really terrible experience with this medication. I felt faint, dizzy, and more pressure in my chest. The mental decline was the worst part though. I felt like I couldn't think straight at all. Thankfully, I stopped taking it before anything too serious happened.

2.7Patient Review
1/22/2022 I experienced a lot of negative side effects from this medication, including fatigue and general malaise. Since I've started taking it with Bisoprolol, though, I'm feeling much better.

9/27/2013 My heart rate slowed down significantly after taking this medication.
2Patient Review
12/17/2015 This medicine caused me a lot of problems. I had a constant dry cough, stomach issues, and problems with urinating. It was also hard to breathe.
1.7Patient Review
11/2/2015 I'm concerned that I might be having a reaction to this medication. I took 18 pills, one per day, three days ago and then began urinating blood. I'm 60 years old and haven't had a period in 14 years, so it's not that. Going to stop taking the pills and see what happens. If anyone has experienced this as a side effect, please let me know.

8/17/2013 I've been on this medication for five years and have had good results from medical exams. I don't remember having any side effects.
