"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."

"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."

"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."
