It is only intended for use in paroxysmal afib. I have been on it for a year. I was in and out of afib frequently and miserable. The flecainide completely stopped it and I have no side effects. It was taken off the market in 1986. Was revamped and usage adjusted. It is safe now if properly prescribed.

Hi...I am on flecainide 2x a day with 100mg..
I was told I have 'paroxysmal' A-fib....never had any flutters, but pulse rate to 160!!... have lost a lot of hair, put on 10 pounds and am always cold and often tired.......also on Eliquis 2x and 1/2 pill of Bisoprolol.
I am emailing my cardiologist regarding above...Maybe I can reduce the mgs.
I am 81 now...was diagnosed 1 year ago...
