Coming off flecainide
Has anyone else experienced a bad time coming off
Flecainide
? My gp has now prescribed
Flecainide
Liquid, which seems to be for children, so that I can reduce the dose more accurately. Has anyone else tried this?

Side Effects
The Doc put me on
Flecainide
(50 mg. 2x day) for racing heart beat. I was wondering if this med could be causing this and how long is it safe to stay on this? Any side effects? Also, when I have extreme problem breathing, is it safe to take my inhaler (cause I know this speeds the heart up)?

Feeling Toxic?
Ever since being put on
Flecainide
, Metoprolol and Xarelto a little over a year ago I have not felt like myself. At the risk of being written-off as too dramatic I will say that if asked how I am feeling I would have to use the word "toxic".

Flecainide

Anyone in South East England to meet up or volunteer with me?
Flecainide
/Bisoprolol did not work for me. I have now just started on Amiodarone as the last alternative to take for only a few months prior to the ablation. You can imagine my nervousness with this drug! Fingers crossed short-term use does not cause any problems in the meantime!

Pulse rate after taking Flecainide
Anybody out there with experience of a dropping pulse rate on
Flecainide
only? The medics say Flec does not reduce the pulse rate but just governs the rhythm i.e. AF However......

Magnesium citrate and flecainide
At different times I have taken
flecainide
in 100mg and 200mg slow acting capsules (CR) as well 100mg tablets 2x daily. I am now on 100mg CR (slow acting). Out of the above three, I get the strangest side effects from the 100mg CR, which is surprising as its the lowest dose.

Anyone reading this who is afraid to post , don't be !
Beta blockers didn't work for me but
flecainide
did! I am lucky I have only been out of sinus for a couple of days all together! Good luck to each and everyone of you!

Flecainide doubled; heart rate dropping to 26 beats per minute
I am about to stop the
flecainide
on my own! I am not a sedantery person, and I feel like a prisoner in my own body.

A funny thing happened when I stopped my Beta blocker.
BTW, I did try
flecainide
prior to ablation and it proved to be pro arrhythmic for me, so much so I had to take myself to emergency where they stopped it. Thanks!

Failed ablation now weird sensation and pain on inner right thigh 11days post.
They started me on
flecainide
+ metoprolol which the side effects are rendering me unfunctional. We have lessened the dosage low enough so I can function but it means I am having breakthrough episodes especially around the dosing hours.

Back in AF with high pulse
In between I have had the occasion flutter which
Flecainide
has seen of. I felt happy, healthy, fit, contented a feeling I'd had for several months. I did a parkrun on a Saturday and was really pleased with my time and on Sunday woke up to the present state.

First Ablation
I am also apprehensive about having to stop the
Flecainide
4 days before the procedure (just took my last dose) and how to cope if I go into an episode before Friday.

Pins and Needles on Flecainide
This is the only side effect of
flecainide
my EP said he knew about and that i shouldn't be concerned. So I try not to be concerned, but it can be incredibly uncomfortable and intense.

Stopping Flecainide after cardioversion
In June I had a second cardioversion this time supported by 50 mg
Flecainide
twice a day and have been free from AF for 10 days. My question is now that I am free from AF should I consider discontinuing the
Flecainide
in a few months time, to see if I can maintain sinus rhythm?

Chemical Cardioversion with Amiodarone part 2: Reporting progress
I have not ruled it out if the normal
Flecainide
/bisoprolol PIP fails. Would I do it without medical supervision?
