I'm glad to hear it's working for you. I'm also on 100mg am and pm and it's been a lifechanger for me. I (touch wood) haven't had any AF episodes for a maybe for a year now since taking it at this dosage.
Good news Lizie. Flecainide gave me back my life going on 6 years now. No AF in that time and thankful for every day that passes. Best wishes on taking it.
I have been taking Flecainide daily for nigh on 30 years. I also needing a number of ablations.
I think I have also had about 20 cardioversions but I have also used Flecainide as a pill in the pocket to revert AF to normal rhythm more times than I can count.
I cannot imagine what life would have been like without it.
I'm also a fan of Flecaincide. No side effects and it works wonders (for me anyway although we are all different).
100 mg twice a day and I'm convinced it's the Flec keeping me in sinus. My cardio told me to use it as a PIP if I go in to afib (300 mg a day max). I have twice and soon returned to sinus after the extra boost.

It's pretty normal to feel anxious when you start a new medication. That will soon pass and it sounds like it's working for you. The anxiety about taking it will soon pass.
You have to declare your AF to the travel insurance company; this is a question that comes up a lot. If you type travel insurance in the search box, top right, and tick 'your community only' you will find lots of helpful advice and good insurance companies.
