    Yup. I also get that sick feeling but it låsts Most of the day for me. Also have a stuffed nose. like a constant cold. No itching skin though. I will probably be switching to Cordarone soon. Don't think that will be much better though.

    I take 50mg Flecainide a day. I take mine at night . At first I woke up feeling vey sick

    but I changed to a different make that although the flecainde was the same the outer coatings can be different. Gradually the sicky feeling stopped.

    I don't have itching or tingling.

    I had problems with fainting and reduced my dose on my own–without complications– to 50mg x 2/day, but, no, no itching or tingling...

      i'm already on the minimum dose. 50mgx2day. Not much i can do now but change medication.

      The maximum dose is 150mg twice a day. I have itchiness but l think it may be sensitivity to a particular food which l am trying to discover.
