I was just started on flecainide. (Started 3 days ago) 150 2/day. Having vision side effects - hard to focus/eye strain causing headaches and motion sickness/woozy. Have read they can take up to a couple weeks to subside. Have others had them take that long to go away? Wondering how long to stick it out before admitting I cannot tolerate them
Flecainide - how long for side effects to go away?

I did not have any of those issues I was on it for a year but had to stop because I was developing neuropathy from it! I would give it a month or so your body needs to get adjusted ! Hope the symptoms subside for you !

Can you describe your neuropathy and how you realized it was from the Flecainide and if it went away? Thank you.
