PIP and Flecainide
I’m taking 50mg of
Flecainide
twice a day. The
Flecainide
does not seem to be helping my arrhythmia very much so I was wondering if I can take a PIP while I’m on the daily dose of
Flecainide
? And if so how, how often can you take the PIP? And would 100mg of
Flecainide
be enough for the PIP?

Flecainide
I was given
Flecainide
50mg pill in the pocket when I have an episode. Despite losing 10% of my body weight, avoiding big meals especially late and cutting out alcohol, I just had my longest episode yet at 14 hours, which I rode out at home and it has just ended.

Flecainide
Has anyone stopped taking
Flecainide
cold turkey? I have been told to stop taking it after being on it years. I thought l would have to wean myself off it slowly

Stopped Flecainide
I was taking
Flecainide
for many years but my cardiologist has said that since AF is now permanent there is no point in taking
Flecainide
to control the uncontrollable!

Flecainide?
Was prescribed
Flecainide
as a pip which l used, back into sinus within 24 hours. My episodes are now 3-4 a month so my EP advised me to take a maintenance dose of 100mg a day. I've now had 5 breakthroughs in the last 3 weeks! Is this a normal acceleration of AF or is
Flecainide
making it worse?

Starting Flecainide
I'm thinking I should start taking
Flecainide
. Are tests absolutely necessary first? Has anyone here been started on F without any tests whatsoever? I thought that my GP indicated to me that he could and would start me on F on his own, without any hassle.

Rythmol/Propafenone
Due to the
flecainide
not working for me, my doctor wants me to go on this drug. I’m really hesitant to try another drug because of the
Flecainide
not working. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried this medication and if so, did it work?

Flecainide side effects.
I find that
flecainide
causes a slight increase in my heart rate. At rest, my heart rate would normally be about 55 - 60 BPM. When I use
flecainide
, 50mg x 2 daily, my resting rate sits at around 70 BPM.

Flecainide for Atrial Fibrillation
It has been suggested by my cardiologist that I could try
Flecainide
as an antiarrhymic medication. I have resisted it as I’m not keen on the possible side affects but wondered whether other Afib sufferers had experience of
Flecainide
.

CT results
I have been given the green light to proceed with
flecainide
. Given the frequency of my bouts the prescribed dosage is 2 x 50mg daily. Question to fellow warriors: Have your AF episodes entirely halted, decreased, or showed no change since using
flecainide
? Thank you.

Stopping Flecainide
Is it ok to stop taking
Flecainide
suddenly or do you have to taper off of it gradually? I’ve been on 50mg twice a day for 35 days. It’s not helping at all. In fact it’s making it worse. I’m thinking some people take it as a PIP so they go on and off
Flecainide
when needed.

Flecainide and Vision Problems
My EP dr started me on 100 mg of
Flecainide
twice a day due to PACs and occasional Afib. I’ve been on the
Flecainide
for a week now and I’ve noticed in the last couple days that my vision is getting blurry and I’m getting dizzy when I turn my head a certain way.

Flecainide for Afib, PVCs and PACs
I’ve been taking 10 mg of
Flecainide
twice a day for almost a month. My question is, how long does it take before
Flecainide
starts to work? I have seen no difference in my Afib, PVCs, PAC and Trigeminy. In fact, I could almost say they have gotten worse.
