Rythmol - to take or not to take? Could use some feedback here!

My 2nd opinion EP has suggested I switch from Norpace to Rhythmol.  He Rx'd 325 mg. every 12 hours.  I have so many side effects from the Norpace that I'm inclined to try it.  I would like to hear others experience with this drug.  Any input would be appreciated.

I didn't have any side effects with the Rhythmol and hope you won't either. If you're having side effects with the Norpace, it makes sense to try something else.
Are you feeling better? What did they think about doing an ablation? Hope you are well.
hugs!

I've taken the Slow Release and 425 mg comes to mind, I could check..this suggest only once a day.

To your question, I did not have any side effect of benefits.  I started it first to see if it would convert my AFib, it didn't, so I was electrocardioverted, and that lasted only 5 days, the Rhythmol could even hold me in NSR...but I am a hard case of AFib, as I think you know.

I do feel side effect from Beta Blockers, but I can't associate any with Rhythmol - then too that was back in 2008, and, well my memory...
