My husband was put on this medication and finally told the doctor he would take himself off of it because he felt so much better before he was put on this medication. He could not sleep,dry mouth and sore throat, constipation, very bad side effects. He was taken off it immediately and given a different drug.

This is the forth medication I tried for atrial fibilation, and it works. I did have to be monitored in the hospital to be sure it didn't cause other problems. I am so thankful to the MD who found it for me, since the Multaq I was on was being investigated by FDA, and caused problems.

my mother took this drug for over 30 years, but last week developed ventricular tachycardia, causing syncope and heart block.she was taken off the medication and is now doing fine.long term use of norpace and it`s benefits and drawbacks need to be monitored,especially among the elderly(she is 81)mom was not very good at following up with md`s,and had refused to consider coming off norpace.It took a near death exoerience to finally get her to change medications.So while norpace served her well for many years,in the end it almost killed her.Read More Read Less
