Was just wondering if anyone is on or has tried Flecainide or Propafenone while also taking Paxil (Paroxetine)? If so, how did it work out? Side effects or health issues or none at all? Thank you for anyone who cares to reply!

I am on Duloxetine and lorazepam for anxiety when needed. I have not had any problems that I am aware of and my doctors are very aware and keep on top of my medication’s. Best of luck

Dawn, so you don't take Duloxetine and/or Lorazepam daily, or do you? What dosages do you take to compare to mine? I take 15mg of Paroxetine daily. Are you taking Flecainide or Propafenone along with these anxiety drugs? Thank you for responding!

I do not take the lorazepam daily only as needed although right now I seem to need it. I do take duloxetine twice a day. I will have to take a look and see what my doses are and get back to you on that. I am not taking the other two you mentioned. I have two meds for a fib, two for diabetes type two one is jardiance. Usually I just take the duloxetine I have tried a couple of other boosters so to speak but they do not seem to do me well if anything I feel more anxious I am perkier but almost as if I’ve had way too much caffeine I do not like the feeling. If it starts to get very dark for me that’s when I go for the lorazepam. I don’t know so much is if it helps so just knocks me out Each of my doctors is very on top of medication’s I take and every time we visit or speak they go through the list. If that is not enough the pharmacy also does the same thing is quite the check and balance when it comes to meds at least with my doctors and insurance
