Propafenone
atrial fibrillation
"I am a 67 year old female who was diagnosed with A-Fib and put on Rythmol in 1996. (Yes, I've been on it for 16 years). The doctor was about to do an ablation but decided to try Rythmol first.  It put me back in rhythm and I did not have to have the ablation.  I have since learned my triggers and try to avoid them. I've had 2 episodes worth mentioning in all this time. Once I became very overheated and once I had a shot of cortisone in both knees.  I take 225 mg of propafenone every 8 hours (6, 2, and 10).  It is a nuisance sometimes, but well worth the payoff. I sometimes even forget that I am a "heart patient"."
