I am taking warfarin my count normally is 2.5 within a week of taking flecainide it dropped to 2.2. could this drug cause this Just started this drug 2 months ago. Very happy with the results. Minimal side effects initially which are now gone. No Afib at all. Also take Losartin and Triamterene for blood pressure and Xarelto for blood clots since I cannot take aspirin. | Add Propafenone review All in all this works for me. My main problem with it is fatigue. I take it three times again and the one in the afternoon is the one that causes the fatigue. That seems to be the only side effect besides weight gain which I hate. This has been a miracle drug and given me back my life, Previously when on walks my AFib would hit, I was done on my knees with no ability to keep moving. I am experiencing every side effect of this drug. It was prescribed for fast heart rate(195) but has made me fatigued, dizzy, severe headaches and low energy levels. | |||
