    Re: Will these ever end?!

    Cynthia , are you still taking the meclizine? Side effect is palpitations and tachycardia. I am not sure of the half life of the drug or how long before it is totally out of your system. the effects can linger. Some of this is also tied in with how well your liver is able to metabolize it and get it out. I am glad you have put a call into the doc, make sure you tell him about the meclizine(antivert).
    Best wishes. Pam

        Cynthia, I know what you mean. They seem to come and go alot for me, that I really don't feel them any more. The Rythmol really seems to be working well, but I guess not could enough to help stop the pooling in the atrium.
