Honestly, it might be worth stopping it for a few days just to find out if it's the flecainide or the neuroma causing the vertigo. When you have a condition known to cause vertigo I wouldn't be so quick to blame meds.

I would like to see if the flecainide is making these worsened symptoms of dizziness exaggerated, but I wonder how long one needs to stop a med to see the effects disappear. Would about 3 days seem safe enough to give a trial so I can see if I feel better? I will still continue my carvedilol.

The half-life of flecainide is about 20 hours, so three days would reduce your levels to about 12% of what they are now. That should be enough to make you feel better if it's the drug.
