I was put on Multaq when Flecainide started to become ineffective. It worked well for me with no side effects to speak of. I am 58 and relatively healthy otherwise. Have had two ablations. First in July 2018 was cryo PVI, the second was in Feb 2019 and was a catheter touchup. However, lately I have been having more palpitations again and am wondering if the Multaq is losing effectiveness. Kaiseby MichaelW - AFIBBERS FORUM

I went back on it and no issues since. It works well for me and noby MichaelW - AFIBBERS FORUM

Hello, I was diagnosed with Afib in Jan 2016. I was 54 at the time. I have always had a desk job but am pretty active, mainly bicycling.

I have Kaiser insurance and have been happy with the carby MichaelW - AFIBBERS FORUM
