Tikosyn ???

Tikosyn ???

Thank you for the answers to my post.  I now know my Dr. is recommending Tikosyn and am looking for feedback from anyone who has tried this.  It has to be administered during a 3 day hospital stay to monitor and regulate dosage.

It didn't do anything for me.  At the time it wasn't allowed if you fly so I lost my medical certificate and could no longer fly.  I got off it after about 6 months.  I got my medical back after an ablation.

I guess it depends on the 'type' of AF you have.  Mine is paroxysmal and, I think, vagally mediated.

I've been on tikosyn for 3 years for multifocal atrial tachycardia.  It has helped me enormously and I've never had a problem with side effects, just be sure to take it 12 hours apart.  And yes, 3 days in the hospital for monitoring.
Good luck.

I was on tikosyn until i had my ablation done in Feb 2010. It worked for the 7 months that i was on it until it did not want to work anymore.Right now i am currently on Aminodarone.

I just had Tikosyn started, 4 days in the hospital and then discharged. The side effects I feel are headache, dizziness, head just a bit foggy, and nausea (could be from Pradaxa). Anyone else experience these?
