Side Effects Like Loose Stools, Severe Pain In Legs, Extreme Tiredness After Taking Tab.cardizem. Can I Stop It Without Consulting My Cardiologist?
I have been an cardizem for less than a month and am having all kinds of side effects....I even tried just taking it every other day-----but I have loose stools and severe muscle pain in my legs, plus extremely tired so I decided to stop today. I will see a heart specialist on Wednesday and I have had only 4 major episodes of atrial fib in 3 years. Is it ok to stop it cold turkey?

Hello
This is possible to have these side effects in some of the individuals taking CARDIZEM although most of the people tolerate this drug well.
I will not advise you to stop this medicine abruptly.
Try taking it in half dose,till you consult your cardiologist.
Thanks
