Alcohol And Flecainide

Been taking these together for a year and I'm starting to get muscle spasms at night. Has anyone else experienced this?

The FDA doesn't list that as a typical side effect of taking Flecainide, they usually include symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, muscle weakness, constipation, and visual disturbances.

Ref: Flecainide Information

However, depending on how much alcohol you're indulging in, you may be dehydrated, and/or low in potassium, which may explain the muscle spasms.

How much water, and other liquids do you drink each day? What does your normal diet consist of?
