I have had trouble sleeping for several years and do get some sleep with ambien, however sice I began taking Tikyson my insomnia has been noticeably worse. One must then weight the benefits of the medication. I have chronic long standing A-Fib, numerous meds have been tried, even cardiac ablation to correct a flutter going on at the same time. The tikyson is working for me to keep me in a paced rythmn. The pacemaker together with other med worked for months, but the Afib just got progressively worse. Bsd side effects, yes, but it works for me now. I would prefer not to take Tikyson, but I think the ablation success rate is pretty slim for somone like myself at age 73. It certainly is not ruled out and i'm hoping for something new to surface that will correct the A-Fib altogether with top success rates.

I have been using this drug for 8 months and found it to be very effective. No afib! I did notice that I experienced alot of PVCs but they weren't related to Tikosyn, small dose of metoprolol helped with the PVVs. The drug is a pain to get, had to work out ordering it 1 week early with the pharmacy. I had an ablation also bu continue to take the drug.

Look this medication up and read about it CAREFULLY. Do your homework and be aware of the side effects that could happen. There is a reason a patient must be hospitalized for 3 days while trying this drug. My 'required' 3 day hospital stay turned into a 5 day stay,two were in Intensive Care Unit because I went into lethal form of Ventricular Tach and almost died. I now chose to live with the A Fib. My doctors are fine with that. I have reported the critical event to Pfizer and the FDA. I made sure the Hospital also reported it.
