@gloaming Was prescribed it when I had my first 2 minute bout of Afib 5 years ago when I was 74. This was prescribed by my cardiologist and after taking it for 3 days and reading about potential side effects I called his office and told him I had no desire to continue to take the drug. Went into the office a few days later and discussed it with him and he agreed with my thoughts on it and never went into my mouth again.

It may serve a purpose for some but it requires a bit of though about taking it and depending on age and length of time on it, some serious discussion about it.

Tks, I’ve been on it for two years now, so I’m trying to figure out how to get of it but my current cardiologist does not want me to go off it ?!
