Can I Able To Reduce The Medications After Successful Cardioversion?

I have just had my second Cardioversion fail (3 months apart). After the first fail I was put on Amiodarone 200mg. I also take Nebilet, Eliquis, Spironolactane, and Coversyl, for Cardiomyopathy. My last echo showed ejection fraction 50% with mild left ventricle dilation. The combination of drugs is causing me significant fatigue - I was hoping that after successful Cardioversion I would be able to reduce the drugs I am on due to the good results of my last echo. What is the most likely next step? Thanks!
