Happy to read your AFib is responding to Flecainide, this encourages me to try it. I was reluctant, and remain so, to go into the hospital to start taking it. Maybe I can persuade my cardio doc to let me start at home on a low dose and build it up to the full dose if I handle it well. I'm about a 5 minute ride from ER, from my wife's wisdom when we purchased our home about 20 years ago. She said as we get older we need to be near a hospital...and we've stayed here long enough to get a lot older.
thanks

I take flecainide and toprol for a-fib and other SVT's. I'm not sure if it has decreased the amount of arrhythmias I have but the symptoms are much milder when I notice one. Before I was put on the flecainide (4 months ago) I kept getting more and more PVCs and they increased my toprol. After a week or so that seemed to help. I take the flec for a-fib and a-flutter.
Maybe a combo of flecainide and toprol. Those seem to be used frequently together. My EP at Cleveland Clinic said taking the 2 together also reduces the chance of a bad reaction to the flec.
