For Atrial Fibrillation "I have been taking Multaq since July 2010 and found that my heartbeat has never been so regular. I had A-Fibrillation and was cardioverted once, and since then, I have been very normal thanks to Multaq. The only side effect I have noticed is occasional light-colored, soft stools."

For Atrial Fibrillation "My husband was recently diagnosed with paroxysmal Afib. EP put him on Multaq. The husband's normal heart rate is slow - 50-60 average. After starting Multaq, the episodes seem to last longer (lasting hours now instead of 30 minutes or so) - still had Afib episodes daily, fatigued, diarrhea for the first week or so. Multaq is expensive, even with insurance, it was going to run $350/month. The doctor has decided to switch him to Sotalol. Hopefully, it works until his scheduled ablation in July. It is terrible seeing my active husband just dragging to get through a meal and sit in his chair :("

For Atrial Fibrillation "I was put on Multaq after 1 episode of afib. Since then, I have experienced nausea every night, loose stools several times a day, and headache. My out of pocket from insurance last year was $20 for 3 months from Express Scripts. This month, for a three-month supply, was $647."

For Atrial Fibrillation "I was recently diagnosed with both atrial flutter and AFIB. I have to come off the drug after the 8th dose (4th day) due to severe side effects that progressively got worse each day. My hands and feet swelled, nausea, diarrhea, pounding headaches, foggy, dizzy, loss of memory. My EP also prescribed Ranolazine (RANEXA EQ) 500 mg/2x a day. I stopped taking both drugs yesterday and started taking Flecainide (Tambacor EQ) 100 mg/2x a day."
