Weaning off Flecainide and Toprol
by captain1, May 26, 2007 12:00AM
I have had HF Ablation for Atrial Flutter (only) and also suffered from A-Fib. Since the procedure I have not had any symptoms of either condition. I have been taking Toprol 25 mg twice a day and 100mg of Flecainide twice aday. I wore an event monitor for 30, days without any sign of A-Flutter or A-Fib. With direction of my Dr. I am weaning off Flecainide by taking 50 mg Flecainide twice a day for one week (toprol not changed yet), which I have just completed doing without any effects. I now (the first day) am taking 50 mg Flecainide once a day for a week and then stop the Flecainide altogether. After the first day of 50 mg Flecainide once a day (24 hrs.) I have felt my pulse, it is not racing but not in an even rhythm. Is this a normal effect of the weaning process? Might this symtom subside as I continue going off Flecainide?
