Bleeding Whilst On Eliquis

When taking Eliquis as an alternative to Warfarin, I was bleeding from nose, kidneys and bowels with black stools and copious bleeding from a slight scratch. Also easy bruising with purple bruise marks. I have now stopped taking this medication and all bleeding stopped, but there is a lingering effect of purple bruising.Will I ever recover from this?
Fortunately I have had no other major side effects but I shall never take this medication again.
Far from preventing stroke from a blood clot, I believe that there is an increased chance of a stroke from bleeding in the brain
I urge extreme caution about this medication.

It has been known to cause these issues in some people that take it, according to NIH reports. It may take awhile for the bruising to go away, they can sometimes linger for a few weeks.

Has there been any change? How long has it been since you stopped taking it? Are you on any other medications?

Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, and headache.
