Have read many situations of which have shed light on my experience with AFIB. Currently on Eliquis with 2.5 dose, have been prescribed Flecainide which I am afraid to take after reading about it. Hesitant to approach my electrophysiologist as I have not started it.

@shebattine There are thousands who use Flecainide for years, or they use it when required using a 'pill-in-pocket' approach. It's a safe drug, but as will all medications, some bodies object to them and they need to try another drug.

You have little to lose by not at least trialing it for a couple of weeks to see if it is a good fit, and who knows....you may find it's just the ticket. You can always stop if you know what the typical counterindications are, what the side effects typically are, and if you can see them building up in your system.
