[|AI|]  Hi, If you have inappropriate shocks while on Stall, it means, that its effect is not sufficient. You are right, Amiodarone has many side effects, but usually when it is taken for a long time. You can start Amiodarone, and maybe after some time your doctor can change Amiodarone, when you are in more stable condition. Hope I could help nourishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
