Absolutely makes a HUGE difference controlling PVCs (in comination with Tikosyn and Coreg)....Gave me my life back. Haven't been bothered by too much nausea.

I had problems with irr.heart beat and tachicardia most of my life.I along with my sister had muscle cramps and stiffness that caused many problems and very embarassing.As we become older the problems became worse. I began to fall alot and even had difficulty turning over in bed. During my pregnancies the muscle spasams were so bad it was not safe to drive due to inability to respond. I could not turn my head without a severe muscle cramps. We have been DX Mytonia Congentia and perscribed Mexatil 150mg. I have had only 2 episides of tachicardia in the past 5 years since I began taking Mexatil 150mg BID.And the ability to walk across a room without apearing as someone needing a wheelchair is wonderful.Read More Read Less

My doctor prescribed this for Migraine treatment. After a few months I noticed many side effects: Shaky hands, blurred vision, muscle cramps and trouble speaking. I gradually tapered off Mexiletine. It took a long time for my vision to improve.
