For Atrial Fibrillation "I ended up in ER with a fib 120+ beats per minute for 3+ hours. Started Multaq the next day. Six weeks later I had a 10 hour episode. I also experience gastro problems and hot flashes to the tune of $700 per month. Call into cardiologist...no response."

For Atrial Fibrillation "62years old and I have had two AFIB ablation surgeries and after second ablation two weeks later went back into AFIB. Took Multaq and three days later back to normal beat. It has been 8 days and still normal heart rate. I really have not had any side affects except it made me a little tired. So far it’s working to keep me in proper rhythm. Hopefully my heart can heal and will stay in rhythm!"

For Atrial Fibrillation "Had 3 A-fib episodes usually go 6 months between episodes. Now finally a drug I can tolerate, except does give me bad stomach. Hope that comes around. Was not able to take other drugs. VA pays for meds otherwise I probably would not pay the $500. Every 3 months it costs. Someone needs to get this pricing down. 8 stars because EXPENSIVE."

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) 500mg/2xs day. I stopped taking both drugs yesterday and started taking Flecainide (Tambacor EQ) 100 MG/2xs day."
