Tambocor (flecainide) "Kept me in regular sinus rhythm but after three years on the med I failed a stress test due to QRS widening, a potentially fatal heart rhythm irregularity. Doctor states it was caused by the medication"

"I started taking Flecainide Acetate , it was prescribed for two 100 mg tablets twice a day. I took one the first day and no ill affects. Took the second one the next day and during the night had a bad attack of diarrhea for over twenty minutes in the bathroom. After that it hit again about two hours later the same thing. I won't do into details about what happen then, but I had a bad problem with it. I never had anything like that in my entire life. will talk to the doctor tomorrow about it , or his nurse. Last time I had a bad reaction from a medicine I told the doctor and she said ( it might of been a virus) I had viruses all my life including the flu, and none every acted like this one did."

"Excellent result in preventing "atrial fibrillation" episodes, however I have developed a rash (head, neck, arms below elbow and lower legs) severe flushing and itching. Flecainide dose is 50 mg/day with 100 mg amiodarone four times/week. I am considering an ablation in hope of getting off the medicines."

"It worked okay but after 3 weeks I have developed a rash all over my legs, now on my arms and a small amount on my face. It is awful so I will have to switch to something else. Was taking 50mg twice a day."

"I have had bigeminy (heart palpitations or fluttering) for 2 years and have PVD's so strong I felt like my heart stopped, was out of breath and felt faint. I started Flecainide 100mg every 12 hours. It has made a great difference and my symptoms have disappeared. I am a bit tired but it is getting better."

"Worst experience I've ever had with a drug: severe, constant nausea, headaches, diarrhea, cough, difficulty breathing, insomnia. All that, and it didn't help the arrhythmia at all!"

"This medicine has been great for me. I was first prescribed a beta-blocker when diagnosed. However, it made me so sick and sluggish that my doctor switched me to Flecainide. He warned me not to read about it on the internet because of all the warnings, but I knew I had to do something. I have been on this medicine for 8 years with no problems (50 mg 2x day). It has made a big positive difference for me. I had a headache for about 3 days when I first started, but not since. No other side effects at this dosage."
