"I was recently diagnosed with both Atrial Flutter and AFIB. I have to come off the drug after the 8th dose (4th day) due to severe side effects that progressively got worse each day. My hands and feet swelled, nausea, diarrhea, pounding headaches, foggy, dizzy, loss of memory. My EP also prescribed Ranolazine (RANEXA EQ) 500mg/2xs day. I stopped taking both drugs yesterday and started taking Flecainide (Tambacor EQ) 100 MG/2xs day."

"This medication worked for about a month and then I started have more episodes of Atrial Fibrillation in between doses. It made me sick to my stomach, nauseous, and with bad stomach ache."

"Been on it since it was first released in the US. Many years. It is my miracle drug. Sometimes I may go out for a day with no problems. I take my blood pressure every day so can tell if it is out."

"Had 3 A-fib episodes usually go 6 months between episodes. Now finally a drug I can tolerate, except does give me bad stomach. Hope that comes around. Was not able to take other drugs. VA pays for meds otherwise I probably would not pay the $500. Every 3 months it costs. Someone needs to get this pricing down. 8 stars because EXPENSIVE."
