Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Hi Clay - I took 100 mgs at the hospital after I was anticoagulanted and in about 16 hours I converted on my own. I now take 100 mgs of Flecainide 2 times a day, morning and at night and 25 mgs of atentolol morning and at night. I also take Coumadin. How long since your last bout of AFIB?
