Yes.
I started back on Ticosyn and Metoprolol following the ablation. Then I switched back to Flecanide and Metoprolol because I had the coincidental nerve pain when on the Ticosyn. I was off the Ticosyn for several days before starting back on the Flecanide. Looking back I should have probably stayed on the Ticosyn.

I'm taking some berberine (with Milk Thistle). Probably can't hurt.
"We find that berberine and amiodarone are equally effective for conversion of AF and maintenance of normal SR."

On the berberine use... It's important to understand that berberine is very effective at reducing blood glucose and related insulin issues... so when using it, be very aware if you notice symptoms of low glucose levels since one symptom can be palpitations and/or arrhythmia due to the mechanism that triggers an 'alert' response (adrenaline) in the body when glucose become too low and that whole resulting scenario. For most people it is probably a non-issue but it makes sense to recognize the potentials.

Ami simply has no business in a paroxysmal, younger patient with no other structural heart disease or comorbidites.
Write that in red ink and underline it three times.

Okay, but who's taking Amiodarone?
A surpising number of people who shouldn't be.

I wish Wolfpack had been around 20 years ago when I was diagnosed with Vagal and prescribed Amiodarone, Coumadin and Lanoxin by both my Internist and Cardiologist.

I wouldn't schedule a second ablation based on one episode. It's only one data point and one can draw an infinite number of lines through a single point.

Apols Steve.
Re your Q, my guess is you’re going to be looking at another ablation in the not too distant future. 7.5 years isn’t a bad run but a reoccurrence on that scale is what it is and IMO is hard to ignore/disregard. But at the end of the day it’s obviously your call as to what feels right to/for you.
BTW, why did you wait so long before taking the PiP?
