Hi Simcha,

>It's a beta blocker and most people get sleepy on it.

Well kind of, beta blockers frequently cause fatigue, but they don't normally cause drowsiness/sleepiness as such. I thought it was worth mentioning just in case you felt that it might be contributing to your depression.

That's quite a story about the cardioversion. You must have been very frightened. I would have been terrified.

I imagine that they monitor your EKG to check for QT-interval prolongation. Sotalol can cause the arrhythmia 'torsades de points', especially at high doses.

Anyway, I'm glad that sotalol has worked well for you :)
