I am taking 100mg of metoprolol and Flecainide for afib. Has anyone had any problems with anxiety on these meds?

Yes—I was on 50 mg of Flecainide twice daily and 25 mg of Metrpropolol. Because my PVC’s & shortness of breath were still bothersome, the dr upped my Flecainide to 100 mg. twice daily. This has caused severe anxiety, sleeplessness, nausea, GI distress, and buzzing in my ear. The dr then lowered my Flecainide dose back down to 50 mg, twice a day. I didn’t take any last evening because I had already taken 100 mg that day & I started to feel better, but after one hour of taking the 50 mg this morning my anxiety & other symptoms got very bad again!
