We are not medically trained here so it is really best to ask your pharmacist about possible drug interaction. When I just looked up the drug on line it did mention arrhythmias as a possible side effect so maybe not a good idea anyway Do ask your pharmacist.

Thanks for the reply, I am afraid that the advise from pharmacists is different, so I guess some can take it and some can't. Unfortunately I have been in a state of dizziness for 2 days now. Been taking Flecainide for just 3 weeks (noot shure if it's a side effect) and though cyclizine may help.

As Bob said we are not doctors but cyclizine is for sickness and often used for nausea or vomiting caused by middle ear disorders, I don't think it would help with dizziness caused by meds best thing to see your GP or maybe a phone consult with him/her.

Thank you, I don't really know if it was a reaction from Flecainide (all better now with no medical intervention), but as I am just starting the medication I did not want to rule out out.

Can’t give a medical option but on one of the few visits I have ever made to hospital with AF. (Caused by a chest infection which they didn’t diagnose) I made the mistake of saying I felt sick and was given Cyclazine [having already taken my Flecanaide] the results were immediate and potentially disastrous resulting in my family being called to the hospital during the night and me being in intensive care for 4 days ....once they treated the chest infection matters resolved and there is now a note on all my medical records of the issue with Cyclazine - they didnt say it was a definite interaction between Flecanaide and Cyclazine,but, the Ward sister told me that she had seen it before and would not have given me Cyclazine - but I stress this is simply an anecdote not any medical science ~ I have not returned to hospital with AF since !

That was very interesting, no fun for you though, glad to hear all is alright now. That's the beauty of these forums, we cannot expect the Doctors and Nurses to know everything and experiences like yours give us all a better understanding of potential problems. Thank you very much for sharing your experiance.
