 5  A-Fib Weight Gain. Slow metabolism. Metallic taste (but I got used to it) Constipation I have found that most generics work just as well as the name brand. There is one brand of generic that seems much weaker but I won't name here. This has changed my life and is worth the cost. I didn't want ablation or a pacemaker and this has done the trick for over a decade now. I use GoodRX to get a coupon which saves a ton as I have to pay full price for meds. M 49 12 years

 5  PVCs Metallic taste when drinking water comes and goes. Weird dreams nothing i can't deal with. The most bothersome is the bloating and constipation. Im taking the generic which is propafenone and am very pleased with how it has completely eliminated my PVCs (palpitations) from 10,000 a day (and i felt everyone of them) to not feeling any.

 5  Afib I had the common metallic taste for about six months. I've been on it four years this month, and it has completely controlled my episodes of Afib. I take it in conjunction with a beta blocker. My B/P is normal, and I feel fine. It has worked great for me. M 63 4 years

 5  Flutter and AFib I feel more tired than I did prior to taking Rythmol but the side effects have been minimal... Couldn't live without it, literally! I have had episodes of cardiac flutter since 2009. One cardioversion, 3 ablations and this week finally came the AFib. My first episode of AFib lasted 2 days after adding an additional 325 mg dosage to get the heart back to a normal sinus rhythm. M 60 5 years

 5  AFIB Was on Tropral for 2 yr and experienced numerous AFIB problems. Heart rate went to 189 and 3 doses of Troprol did not slow down heart. Once it slowed down it went to 44 during the day and 18 when I was asleep. Had a pace maker installed and put on Rythmol and had absolutely no side effects. Had one case a year of AFIB that lasted no longer than 15 minutes. M 65 4 years

 5  Atrial Fibrillation Slightly metallic taste in mouth, very mild hard to describe sensation of being able to feel the drug in my system. I have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and go into afib about once a year. Rythmol is the only drug that completely resets my heart to a normal sinus rhythm. It takes about 1 1/2-2 hours to work.

Patient History
 5  Atrial Fibrillation Vivid dreams, fatigue (but that could be due to lopressor). This drug has really helped me. About every two months I cut my afternoon dose in half to try to reduce the dosage, but after three to four weeks of doing that, I get afib (short episodes) and return to the full dosage.

 5  Arrhythmias - PAT & atrial flutter Dry mouth and metal taste occasional, tiredness but mostly constipation. I was experiencing having a hard time to breath, dizzy, low pulse and until my medication was adjusted. I was told to take 150mg 3x a day and though this was ( am, afternoon and pm) and this was not working. However after consultation with both the Doctor and Pharmacist, I was told to take the medication 3x (24 hour day)because I was being overmedicated. I now take it every 8 hours (6am 2pm & 10am suits my time frame) and with this change I am having no problems. It says the best results is having a constant source in the blood stream. I also take Verapamil as well. F 65 4 years

 5  A-Fib First 7 days was not nice, head pressure muscles in upper neck stiff, but all this went away on the 8 day, the only side effect is that water tastes bitter, I can live with that. My Heart doctor said on the 7th day, that my heart flutter was better organized, and that he expected me to make a full recovery. M 65 28 days

 5  PAF Essentially none On this med, have had occasional PAF, lasting 3-5 hrs, then reverting to NSR spontaneously. No cardioversions in almost 2 yrs. I am 72 yrs old, and actually seem to be having fewer PAF attacks as I get older. Paradoxical, huh? I love this stuff! M 72

 5  atrial fib metallic taste went away after about six months, no other side effects also taking a beta blocker and an ACE inhibitor for heart rythm; Rythmol stopped fibrillations for a year even after my drinking red wine and exercising; then some break-through fibrillations. Discovered fibs followed eating dark chocolate. Stopped chocolate, reduced cafeine--no fibs for nearly a year. Still taking Rythmol but wonder if I need it. M 67 2.5 years

 5  Lone A-Fib Some constipation. Metallics taste initially which has dissipated. I have had lone a-fib since I was about 13 years old. I was told I had mitral valve prolapse and my doctor thought that was the cause of my "palpatations". Doctors could never catch me while in a-fib until this past year when I had an episode for 12 hrs. The Cardiologist put me on Rythmol SR 325mg twice a day. He then added Cardizem 150mg later in case I have another a-fib episode...it's suppposed to slow my heart rate. I haven't had one a-fib episode since being on Rythmol. I hope it lasts. I'm looking into ablation but waiting for the procedure to be studied longer and have a better success rate for those with a-fib in the future. F 39 5 months

 5  SVT I had initally started with the 225 mg dose, but still had the increased heart rate (200 bpm). I then started last Dec. 08 with the 325 mg dose twice a day, and wow! the difference is incredible. I am taking a Zumba class now at a gym, and lost 20 lbs. F 47 3 years
