Comment:
My Electrophysiologists prescribed this after a mini maze, 4 cardioversions, and an abliation did not keep in rhythm. At first it made me very nauseas (could not even stand smell of food) That lasted 4 days. Hope this works for me. Not much else left. When I go into afib I end up in CHF.

Comment:
Horrible side effects. I have been on it for one month and stopped taking it. Felt like I had the stomach flu for the whole month. So weak I could hardly make it from bedroom to bathroom at times. And went into AFib twice in the month I was on it. Was suppose to stop me from going into AFib. Off one day and feel better today than I have in a month. Also extreme itching. Even my ears itched!
