Has anyone weaned off multaq after 15 days?

@jtrasper I could not tolerate Multaq. I had diarrhea and when that subsided, I became fatigued and lethargic almost all day. Then the week before I stopped, I went into Afib. I asked my ep is I could stop and he said yes. I have had Afib on and off since stopping 3 weeks ago. I don’t know if this is going to stop on its own.

@loswalt0525 Chances are that it will only get worse. It's a progressive disorder, unfortunately, and for most people it progresses to permanent, full-time, AF. This is when the heart is most vulnerable to morphological changes that affect its function and efficiency. Right now, today, is the best your heart will ever be going forward. I would urge you to very carefully research 'catheter ablation' and consult an electrophysiologist about having that procedure. It is the 'gold standard of care' for AF patients. The treatments, all of them, lose efficacy as your heart progresses toward more advanced forms of AF. So, my urgent advice is for you to learn about catheter ablation, if you haven't yet, and then to seek the services of a good EP.
