Re: Replace Mexitil and what about Flecainide

Ask your doctor about Lamictal (the generic name is lamotrigene) or Diamox (acetazolamide). I believe I read that about 10% of people taking flecainide get blurry vision.

You could also try the amino acid Taurine. The dose to reduce myotonia is 1-2 grams per day. This has been shown to be effective in studies done in Italy.
