Hi tank2003,

I did take Rhythmol, but did not have the bad tastes from it.  But, THANKS for posting so that the original posted can see that he/she is not alone.

Welcome to the Heart Forums!!

Any chance your doctor would consider a different medication?  As I recall, rythmol is a sodium channel blocker, so maybe switchine to a different med would help.  I've taken flecainide and rhythmol, but did not experience the metallic taste.  I imagine that is pretty awful....

I did a little research on rythmol and found that an "unusual taste" is a reported side effect, so you are not alone...

Hope you are able to find an answer soon.
