mexiletine

I had a cardiac arrest almost three years ago, in February they fitted me with an Icd ,

Two months after I had what they called a storm , several shocks (20) all on one day ,

It was very scary, they adjusted my Icd so it wasn’t so sensitive, and put me on mexiletine tablets 3 times a day , they upset my stomach so I’ve had to adjust my eating habits to make sure I have a full stomach before taking them anyone else had this problem

MedlinePlus (a US govt site) says they're supposed to be taken with food or with an antacid.

no prob like that but I know the leads (three in my case) do cause nerve effects to stomach and throat at times with me.
