@zacklucy Flecainide is the most used PIP anti-arrhythmic that I see discussed. I don't know if others can be used the same way, say propafenone, or Sotalol or Multaq (both I believe require close supervision when initially administered).
I hope you won't mind this segue, especially if it's something you've strongly resisted or have an aversion to, but you should really consider submitting to a great electrophysiologist and get the 'gold standard of care' that is a catheter ablation. There is a lot to learn about that topic, but if it is successful, it really slows the typical progression of the disorder and its possible nasty outcomes. Not only that, but you get your life back and you don't need the PIP. Just throwing that out as a person who has had two ablations (the first failed to close one small gap on my third pulmonary vein, which they found second time...now three years free of AF or any other worries).
