Hi, Sbrink!
You might want to look into buspirone (BuSpar) which is not an antidepressant/anxiolytic that can interact with flecainide. It's been approved for the treatment of certain anxiety disorders since the 1980's with moderate to good success. It may also help depressions associated with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
I've taken it for many years and have had no problems with it. It's been very effective for my symptoms.
Just something you might want to consider.
