When you were in AF for 2 1/2 months and went back in NS rhythm did it happen all at once or was your heart in NSR off and on until your heart finally stayed in NSR?

iMHO one should get two medical opinions before taking 300mg flecainide. I can’t stress it enough from experience of near death foolishness. My trusted EP said no because I didn’t weigh enough for the 300mg dose (what is it? Around 150-160 pounds for 300mg dose?)

I also take flecainide (75 mg x 2) and weigh less than 154 lbs. I have used flecainide for conversion a couple of times but it only took an extra 50mg dose and my EP has never suggested that I take 300 mg to convert. Do you mind telling us what the symptoms of the flecainide overdose were? Just want to be on the alert.Quote

That is the reason I posted. If you weigh less than 154 pounds don’t risk your life by taking 300mg. It’s a black label drug. I almost died according to many. As GeorgeN said, it’s not a drug to trifled with.
