I am having a cardioconversion and then staying in hospital for administer of Tikosyn ( an alternative to Flecainide - which causes nasty side effects for me ) Tikosyn sounds pretty nasty too but seems to be only alternative . Hope that helps.
I did ask where in World deirdre might be not sure if used in UK?

I was on Tikosyn for about 9 years, due to the cost and help from the Dr. I am
switching to Flecainide. My cost jumped to $585 plus. Tikosyn seemed to work ok
but no alcohol. Not sure why you would need to switch. I may have the same question about Flecainide. I am getting a lot of aches in my joints, hoping to get rid of the pain as the Tikosyn is flushed out. May not even be related. Any side effects that I need to know of for the Flecainide.? I've read about the side effects, but did not see anything new.

Do you know about the drug company gives everyone so you can purchase Tikosyn at much reduced rate ?
Go online and get one if you are worried about cost- Best, Didi
