I was diagnose with V-Fib and was put on Lidocaine. My condition improved quite fast and I had no more health problems regarding my V-Fib. Now my doctor wants to put me on Amiodarone. I would not object in some other case, but I can not see the reason for switching if patient is in good condition. What do you think about this matter and Amiodarone vs Lidocaine in V-Fib?

I think that those switching is more related to health insurance politics than with your health. Some pharmaceutical companies are giving big donations to health insurance in order to increase selling of their own products. I have no professional knowledge about V-Fib and dugs you mention, but I know for sure that Amiodaron is much more expensive.
