"Had 3 A-fib episodes, usually go 6 months between episodes. Now finally a drug I can tolerate, except it does give me a 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."

"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) 500 mg/2x a day. I stopped taking both drugs yesterday and started taking Flecainide (Tambacor EQ) 100 mg/2x a day."

"I have been on Multaq for 4 years with no apparent side effects. I have been free of atrial fibrillation since. Now my new insurance has denied me use of the medicine."

"This medication worked for about a month, and then I started having more episodes of atrial fibrillation in between doses. It made me sick to my stomach, nauseous, and with a bad stomachache."

"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 I can tell if it is out."
