My apologies for the misspelling of side "effects." Cannot seem to correct it. I have stopped the propafenone for a-fib because of its devastating side effects, the most debilitating of which was nausea. (The first drug I tried was flecainide which I did not tolerate well.) I am also suffering from anemia and think I need to determine the cause of that before I go any further. I do have a new prescription for Multaq for the afib but am not optimistic. I am supposed to start it tomorrow but think I will have to wait until I find more out about my anemia and until my body recovers from the previous drug because I am still suffering. I don't think my small body of 100 pounds can tolerate these drugs. Will be discussing ablation next week with cardiologist.

My cardiologist put me on metoprolol for A-fib, 1/2 of a 25 mg tab in the morning and 1/2 at night. I've had NO side effects at all in two years.
