Flecainide and verapamil

Hi. I have Ventricular tachycardia and had a ICD fitted in July. Put on 50mg flecainide 3x a day. Still having PVC's (ectopics) so they are changing my meds to 50mg flecainide x2 a day and adding verapamil. I'm worried that I will get more VT episodes. Anyone on these combinations of drugs for VT?

Thanks

I take flecanide 100mg twice a day and verapamil twice a day and have done for over 5 years I have had two ablations but still have af episodes but heart rate never more than 140bmp and only when I'm in a lot of pain, think inflammation causes it. I have Lupus
