I had 2 bouts of AF 6mos. apart and was then placed on 150 mg.of Propafenone Q8hrs. Have been AF free for 13 mos. The first 3 mos. on the med were rough with waking up in the night and having dry mouth. Only real side effect I have had with the med.

I convert at a very low voltage but of course, I would rather take propafenone.

The only thing I don't like is having to take it 3 times a day. I often forget the afternoon dose when busy. Rythmol is the answer but too expensive-this drug however, is NOT cheap either.

I have taken 225mg of this drug 3 times a day for 4 years. It has worked very well and although expensive is still much cheaper than Rythmol. The only side effect I noticed was constipation.
