I have not experienced any further symptoms of AF since starting Tikosyn. What I have experienced is difficulty getting certain other medical procedures completed because of the medication interaction problems. Dental procedures requiring local anesthetics are not possible since I can not use any of the "cains". Treatments for skin problems that might have steroids in them can not be used as steroids can cause an adverse reaction with Tikosyn. Since I'm so new to using this drug I expect it will take a while to learn how to get Medical procedures done without the use of typically used medications. I will be in contact with the manufacturer as will be my Pharmacist and Cardiologist to determine the proper course of action to take regarding the rest of my health care needs.

This was my third medication to try for recurrent atrial fib. Third time a charm! I been on it now for 5 years. No problems at all. Published: January 24, 2008 ::

My father in law is on Tikosyn. He got a call from the drug company last night at 9:00 telling him the drug is on back order and they don't know when they will have the supply in. Has anyone else gotten a call or had trouble getting Tikosyn? Published: January 13, 2008 ::

After initial 3 days in hospital for observation while starting drug, I was very pleased with results. Definited decrease in symptoms leading to better life style. I have been on Tikosyn for 1 year this month. Published: October 23, 2007 ::

This drug gave me my life back! I love it. The Atrial Fib was really limiting me in daily life, now with Tikosyn I don't know I have any problems. Just stay on schedule & watch interactions. For me a wonder drug. Published: March 15, 2008 ::

This drug has corrected most of rythem problems but I am having some side effects, such as tightning around the abdomen trouble breathing deep breaths, tingling in the hands and feet. Published: August 18, 2008 ::

My heart has basically been reframed. My ejection-refraction rate rose from a low of 20% to a sustained 40%. Published: September 22, 2007 ::

Helped A. F. somewhat but side effects were so bad I was taken off. Six months later side effects are not completely gone. chest pain,breathing respitory problems,and sudden palputations. Published: February 04, 2009 ::

After 2 strokes, implantation of a pacemaker, multiple ablations, a maze procedure and 6 cardioversions over the course of 6 years I have now been on Tikosyn for 18 months, had only one significant A Fib event (which required cardioversion). My only complaint is similar to one above: the supply from the manufacturer is spotty and unreliable. The drug itself is a Godsend in my opinion - virtually all meds tried prior to Tikosyn had no effect whatsoever for me. Published: October 19, 2008 ::

Two and one half hours after taking the first dose of Tikosyn my heart went back into rhythm. I am very happy with the results I have gotten from Tikosyn so far. Published: September 07, 2008 ::
