Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Fluoxetine And Flecainide

Yes, I have been on Fluoxetine for years, now have to take Flecainide due to AFib. Trying to get the Fluoxetine refilled but they will not do it until they talk to my doctor due to drug interaction between the two. I have taken both of them since June of 2015 and to my knowledge have not had any problems. Now I fear taking it, but I last saw my cardiologist and since June I have stayed in normal rhythm so the AFib is controlled. I have depression for which I need fluoxetine. Any suggestions?

Hello,

One can take both the drug (Fluoxetine and Flecainide ) together, of course there may be some interaction but that can be minimal or negligible but both the drugs can be taken together. Try to come out of the stress so you can stop the Fluoxetine.

Hope I have answered your query.
