Anyone have experience with Acebutolol?

EP is switching me from Verapamil to Acebutolol for PVCs and high resting/low activity heart rate. Has anyone been on Acebutolol, if so how did it go? I am 3.5 months post ablation (still in blanking period), and have been cycled through sotolol, metoprolol, mexiletine, diltiazem, propafenone, and verapamil to date....issues with tolerance, made things worse, or didn't help. Thanks!

what do you mean by blanking period ?

This from Google, and as it was explained to me by EP...A "blanking period" after an ablation procedure, typically referring to a cardiac ablation for atrial fibrillation, is a timeframe following the procedure where any temporary recurrence of the arrhythmia is not considered a treatment failure, as the heart tissue is still healing and stabilizing around the ablation sites; this period is usually considered to be around 3 months after the ablation
