For Arrhythmia "Afib and Vtach spiratic for 3 years .Went through 3 other antiarrhythmics they all made me very sick, vertigo N/V or tanked my BP. Dr recommended this because I was already in the hospital from complications from my first Ablation which gave me dresslers syndrome and eventually a pericardial window from fluid build up that they said was from Eliquis. After 4 weeks on Tikosyn no horrible side effects like what rythmal, flecinide or multaq gave me, just mild headaches and a little fatigue. I'm praying this is the keeper because I never want another ablation."

For Arrhythmia "I went into afib flutter 3 months ago. Been on dofetilide 250mg since with eliquis. I reacted with it, so changed to asprin-82mg. I have now reacted with it that with gut and stomach pains, general discomfort, memory problems and brain fog too. But has kept me out of afib-flutter ,which I had for 3 or 4 days ,before I had cardioversion paddle. Blood pressure is high in am then goes down at night. On cozaar-50mg also. What to do?"

For Arrhythmia "I was put on Chicoson seven months ago even though the electro physiologist could not make a fib happen. I have no idea whether I have a fib or not. What I do have is clusters of premature heartbeats. I don't this drug. I see the EP in 10 days and I’m going to ask to be taken off. A week ago I missed my morning dose. It was the best I felt since starting this drug. I’ll repeat, I really don't like it and don’t know why the EP insists that I take it"

For Arrhythmia "I was administered Tikosyn in Nov. 2018. Since then it had kept me in sinus rhythm. In March 2021 I took second shot of Pfizer vaccine and within two weeks my bpm started going up ( I was in bradycardia till then with bpm below 65). Got all exams done and seem that I will need to go through ablation. Few more people recorded same reaction after the COVID vaccine ( Pfizer and Moderna ). Can I come back to previous stage after the vaccine effect is lessened?? After how long the vaccine effect will go away I do not know. In sone case the heart rhythm was restored after 6 hours. In other episode after one month it can back to sinus rhythm. I still take dofetilide why i do not know because now it makes no sense."

For Arrhythmia "I have used Tikosyn since Jan 09 and have had an ablation in late 08. Tikosyn has worked well without any problems. I tried many other drugs with not much success."

For Arrhythmia "Nothing else worked on my A-fib. Finally, in addition to pacemaker installation, Tikosyn solved my A-fib after just two doses in the hospital. Great drug---but expensive!"
