flecainide

[WarEaglegirl]

I have been on Diltiazem (Cardizem) 1 month and about 3 weeks ago combined it with Flecainide 50 mg 2x daily.

has anyone else experienced stomach issues?

What are your issues?

Make sure you take the flecainide 3 hrs after eating and then don't eat for another hour. I have been pretty good over 12 years doing this with an occasional lapse that made me feel nauseous. I also thought a magnesium compound made my stomach sore so I paused that for some months and now back on it. Moral: listen to your body and where possible take your own action.

Hi WarEaglegirl

I was taking Diltiazam 60mg twice a day for two weeks and had terrible headaches and stomach pain! I spoke to my doctor yesterday he told me to come off of it for a few days to see how I feel and then go back on it once a day, if I still have problems then he will try something else.

I hope this helps but we all tolerate meds differently.
