A 4 month update since stopping Flecainide

[kitenski]

I'm still off the flecainide since July and just taking 1.25mg bisoprolol daily. I had a small episode of Afib early Nov, I took a 2nd 1.25mg biso and it was back in sinus 20 mins later.

My only major issue now is really feeling the cold in my feet and toes which is a known side affect of bisoprolol!

I am going to look into taking carvidolol again (tried once before with flec) but it wasnt as effective. However looking back that could well have been due to the flecainide actually being pro arrythmitic for me.

Warning one: I am not medically trained, simply reporting my experiences.

Warning Two: I'm aware everyone reacts to drugs differently but for me it took 2 years to work out flecainide wasn't working and was making thing worse despite the arrythmia nurses convincing me "all was normal"

Well done for your persistence and bottle for trying a reduction. I expect I will decide/have to reduce my Flecainide at some point but for now a 'no episode' enjoyable life is still too seductive 🙏😁

yup if you have no episodes don't change!! Flecainide was *causing* episodes *for me*!
