I take flecainide for afib. I started on 1 tablet morning and evening and found that the afib was controlled but my mood was moe grumpy. My doctor suggested I lower the dose which I have been doing. I have had an afib episode about every 3 months, but my mood improved. Has anyone else experienced this mood effect with flecainide?

Yes I have. But I thought maybe it was because I felt so terrible from it. My head feels almost like a numb feeling. I cant focus. Hands shake. Fatigued... awful.. I'm only 49

No, but that drug is contraindicated for persistent AFib. Flecainide almost killed me.
