At first, it was a terrible feeling of u wellness, when on this drug. I discovered taking vitamin E (400) 1 tablet with each dose. Morning and night. The difference in the way I felt, was almost instant. Check with your doctor to be sure it's not a conflict with other medication you may be taking. If I forget to take vitamin E...the same unwell feelings return. The periodic scary and annoying palpitations of irregular beats, disappeared.

Oh...okay...I don't think my diet is lacking fat. I eat a normal healthy diet including a balance of fats, proteins, carbs.

I have spoken to others who have added vitamin E and they too, noticed a significant improvement. BUT...everyone should consult with their cardiologist before taking.
