Comment:
I have been taking this medication since 1999. I have had some fibrillation over the 16 years, but overall I barely notice I have a heart issue.

Comment:
I have a lack of energy, sleeping two hours after breakfast is unusual for me. I've been on it for about six weeks. I am noticing serious leg pain, like when I was on statins. Leg pain in calves and hip joints is worse than normal.

Comment:
I started taking this about 4 years ago for occasional flutter and a-fib. No symptoms since taking the drug so I consider it very effective. I recently went off the drug at the doctor's suggestion to see if symptoms return as this drug can have serious side effects.
