I've been prescribed Dofetilide 250mcg Capsules to help manage my atrial fibrillation.

Has anyone else had experience with this medication? What were your initial experiences like? What should I be prepared for in terms of side effects, and when do they usually show up? Any advice on managing them would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also curious to hear about any other side effects that might come up, even the minor ones, and how common they are. Any insights or personal stories would be really helpful as I start this new medication.
