Worried about too larger a dose for Pill in Pocket for my weight. Got answer from EP today.
Further, he said he would not advise taking
Flecainide
at this stage. I hope this is comprehensive enough PeterWh :-D

Now prescribed Amiodarone
He did discuss AV node ablation but wanted to try this medication first, I took
Flecainide
for 20+ years and then Sotalol in the last year.

Flecainide with or without bisoprolol
Section 5.2 warns AGAINST the use of betablockers with
Flecainide
. "The co-administration of
flecainide
and pro- pranolol increased the plasma levels of both drugs by 25% compared with control values, which may exert an additive negative inotropic effect and prolong the PR interval".

According to EP JOHN MANDROLA, MD "AF-rhythm drugs (propafenone, flecainide for example) often make atrial flutter worse."
I was put on
Flecainide
and it didn't work for me and there were side affects.

Also not only found correct dosage of Flecainide as PIP but also that Citalopram can have serious side effects when taken with Amiodarone.
I did not believe him and hence I also checked up on his prescription of
Flecainide
. Hence, I also learned about the correct dosing of
Flecainide
according to weight. Here endeth my long communication/diatribe about my experience with a particular GP. :- l Best Wishes :- )

Another AF episode
The good news is that following taking extra
flecainide
and bisoprolol my heart reverted to NSR in the middle of the night. I am very relieved but very tired due to lack of sleep. Not sure what to think as whilst I am still in the three month window after the ablation every episode worries me.

My experience of acupuncture and massage.
It is 2 years since my ablation and I have had occasional mild AF which I can control with 100
flecainide
as a pip. In the last year my mobility has deteriorated markedly. My feet do not pick up.

Interaction of Citalopram and Amiodarone
Was given
Flecainide
which was agreed by the Consultant.
Flecainide
only worked for a fortnight. So I was put back on Bisoprolo by
Dr DSous
. 3. Now another GP
Dr. A
(Male)
has prescribed not only the 300 mg of
Flecainide
for PIP but also Citalopram for my anxiety problem.

Flecainide
Morning all, just asking, from everyone on
flecainide
, is it ok to take an extra table when AF is lurking on and off. Been great for a few months but stressed lately with this and that. Would appreciate any comments or should I contact the consultants department at Liverpool. Pat

Do I...Don't I ?????
(Not an EP) I don't really get many problems in fact since being on
Flecainide
for a number of years I have not had an episode. However the GP thought i was a good idea to touch base with the Consultant.

Should I be worried?
and have reduced Bisoprool from 7.5 to 2.5mg daily and stopped
Flecainide
on recommendation from Arrythmia Nurse at follow up appointment.However my heart rate has been consistently higher since the ablation (was approx 65 prior to ablation), running from high 70's to high 80's.

On medication now offered ablation - did anyone's AF get worse on medication meaning they opted for ablation?
But I also realise this is step by step and my symptoms could ease - especially as
flecainide
been increased. Thanks everyone!

Flecainide & Tinnitus
Hi, I have been on
Flecainide
100mg twice a day since my cardioversion in July for AF and over the past few weeks have developed ringing in my right ear that is now constant and annoying. I have read that ringing in the ears is a rare side effect of
Flecainide
.

AF starting in the middle of the night again
Have taken extra
Flecainide
as usual and now waiting to see if this is successful. I am very disappointed as my rhythm has been so steady since the last episode. It is now 31 days post ablation.

Abalation go ahead
I've had side effects to most meds over the last few years meaning I was just on
flecainide
as PIP from January. I was living in fear of a afib turn and had a couple a month. They lasted 2 hours but enough to affect my QOL.

AF starting in the middle of the night again (The sequel)
Having tried to get my rhythm back twice with extra
Flecainide
and Bispoprol on Tuesday it was clear to me that by mid morning yesterday that this course of action was not going to be successful on this occasion.

Back on an even keel
Flecainide
now down to 50 mg twice a day. Bisoprolol has been stopped as I was like a zombie on 1.25 . Respect to all you folk who have to cope with big doses ( I realise this is not a choice).
