"It causes diarrhea frequently, makes you tired, but it considerably lessens my arrhythmias as the doctor wanted my heart to stop being shocked from my implanted ICD/pacemaker. I'm only in the first month of taking it, and if the diarrhea continues, the doctor may be taking me off of it."

"My age: 83. Condition of arrhythmia since the 1960s when my doctor prescribed quinidine. As time went on, so-called 'better medications' have been recommended, and I tried many of them without obtaining the same benefits as with quinidine. Only the beta-blocker metoprolol is helpful in connection with quinidine 200 mg. I call quinidine a life-saver."
