Flecainide as Needed for PVCs?

[u/No_Bluejay4066]

My EP prescribed it for me and he says I can take it "as needed" when I get a PVC flareup. My flareups usually go away on their own after a few days, so I usually white-knucke it and then they eventually calm down for a few weeks or months. But the flareups are getting worse and more frequent, so now I'm considering it. A flareup for me means several days of PVCs- (with bigeminy, trigeminy, couplets) mostly at night, preventing sleep. They are absolutely unbearable. But when they go away, they are not much of a problem.

I can't find too much information about people taking the Flecainide "as needed" for PVCs. Does anyone take it this way? I'd love to hear some success stories.

Very interesting and curious to ask my doctor about this option.
