Ask your EP about Tikosyn. It's kept me in NSR for 5 years now.

I have been on sotalol but considering tikosyn; sotalol cause fatigue; have you had any side effects from tikosyn? was it started in the hospital? glad you are doing well!

[etheral in reply to foxchase15]

I've had no side effects from the Tikosyn. I did have to be hospitalized for 3 days when it was started. This is so they can continuously monitor your heart since there is a small risk that the Tikosyn could cause an Arrythmia when it is first started that would need immediate intervention. I was In afib when it was started and reverted to NSR after 36 hrs. Some patients need to be cardioverted after the dose is given. Best of luck..
