    Update on this insidious drug. 7nth headache of my life due to this, continues unabated 2 years and 10 months later. Unquenchable thirst- ditto.

    began using melrinone IV in December of 2008 and am still using it. Is this dangerous to use it this long? Has improved my quality of life,but doc's continue to say it could shorten my life.
