I finally went to the hospital and they put me on amiodarone. The flecainide did not lower the BPM. So far the amiodarone is working to lower the BPM but did not stop the afib.. I did have to be cardioverted. I hope I can go back on flecainide someday but time will tell.

After 4 miserable days of Flecainide, my proarrhytmias and PVCs increased tremendously and I was without energy. Doctor decided to switch me back to 200 mg of amiodarone 2/day and 150 mg of Mexiteline 3/day. Planning to start with this tomorrow
