What more can I do???
I also take 150 mg of
Flecainide
twice a day, taken on an empty stomach (I don't eat 2 hours before or 2 hours after I take the Flec)--I'm at the max daily dosage, no changes with that. Does anyone have any suggestions for a BB that wouldn't slooow my HR?

Do you find daily Flecainide stops episodes or reduces their duration?
Again it makes me wonder if the
Flecainide
is actually stopping any episodes triggering at all, but simply deals with them as and when they trigger - occasionally without me even noticing?

More episodes in first week of daily Flecainide?
Is this a plausible side effect as the
Flecainide
builds up in the body or should I be concerned?

Changing beta blocker
I’m on 2.5mg of bisoprolol and 150 mg
flecainide
(100mg at night, 50mg in the day). I spoke with a different consultant today for a second opinion and he suggested that I could have Vagal AF and has suggested changing from bisoprolol to something like adizem.

After an ablation
I’ve had
Flecainide
in the past but it didn’t suit me, it caused a long QT on my ECG on a very high dose. Bisoprolol makes me so tired. What have others taken? We always read that AF is so common nowadays but I don’t know anybody else that has it. That’s why I find this forum so helpful.

Pacemaker question
I’ve taken a
flecainide
and I’m now in normal sinus rhythm. Certainly the holter will have recorded significant information about my problem The cardio discussed possible causes and he mentioned that the pacemaker could be an issue in the future. Has anyone had experience of this at all please.

Flecainide causing Acid Reflux causing Episodes?
Hello all, I have recently started to take daily
Flecainide
for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation. 2 x 50mg for around 10 days and now 2 x 100mg for the last 2 days as the number of episodes actually increased on the first dose.

Ablation review + thyroid review......
All were quickly stopped with
Flecainide
as PiP. Back in December last year, my EP suggested a 3rd ablation and I was put on his list.

Switching Medications
Has anyone had any experience switching from
Flecainide
to another drug. I am supposed to do that starting tomorrow and I am very nervous.

Very informative discussion with cardiologist
I can’t take
Flecainide
in any form, including IV in A&E, because it might slow my heart too much (without pacemaker). Bisoprolol is a 3rd generation beta blocker which would be good because it helps to prevent AF as well as slowing the heart but is not suitable for me because of my asthma.

Confused again, nervous & scared
My evening meds (
Flecainide
150 mg which I take twice a day -- & I take Pradaxa too) did nothing perhaps because
Flecainide
acts on rhythm, not rate?

Drugs
Have read many bad stories about and have been told that
flecainide
is maybe not as potent but the best tolerated out of all the antiarrhythmic. Any thoughts?

Are beta blockers still regarded as (always) bad for Vagal Afib?
So, I am 10 days or so into daily
Flecainide
medication for the first time after 16 months of PIP and it has been a rollercoaster to say they least. 4 clear days and then 7 episodes in 72 hours followed by 1 a day three days.

Will Daily Dose Flecainide help to terminate an episode that starts up anyway?
Can I hope that this might terminate more quickly than usual due to the
Flecainide
in my body or should I reach for the PIP again as well? (Generally I have been averaging 1 or occasionally 2 episodes per week of 4-8 hours duration before starting the daily dosing.) Many thanks.

Increasing Flecainide at home
He is wanting to increase my
flecainide
from 1 x 50mg tablet twice a day to the same strength tablet 3 times a day as I'm still having 4 or 5 episodes a month lasting from 3 to 16 hours and ranging from 120 to 147 beats. Although this month its only lasted 2 to 3 hours.

5.5 MTHS post ablation
This time it last 30 mins with me taking 100 mcg of
flecainide
as instructed after 15 mins. Nothing major since. It's thrown me into a total tailspin, happening so long after the ablation. Though I've only been off amiadarone for 5.5 weeks.

Flecainide and Metoprolol
In the past I have not tolerated
flecainide
, however my cardiologist said I should sitck with it for a couple of weeks to let my body adjust. My question is --those of you have taken or are taking
flecainide
- did you have to adjust to taking it?

Has anyone had Ablation for AFib and PAC’s/PVC’s? And did it stop the PAC’s?
Was put on
Flecainide
50 mg 2 a day. Was working good for PAC’s for about 2 months, now not so great. It’s becoming more frequent and last longer each time. I’ve already made my mind up about an ablation and am going to schedule one.
