I take atenolol, flecainide and spironolactone ,took a while to get used to them but okay now. He has just added perindopril which is making me feel awful. I have decided to take one every other day to try and alleviate the tiredness and feeling so low.

Your GP will need to do it and make sure you go to a hospital with a large cardiology department and specialist experitise in AF. A Teaching hospital is a good bet.

It took me about a month to get used to Bisoporol, after my chemist suggested I take it in the evening about 9pm no trouble since.

It seems that the same AF drugs affect different people in different ways. I am on Sotalol, 160gm daily, and Warfarin. I don't find the Warfarin a problem, and the Sotalol keeps my AF to one bout each 3 weeks approx.
BUT I was on Bisoprolol plus Flecainide for a few weeks. That put me into permanent AF which only stopped when I went back to Sotalol. YMMV. (UK, retired male)
