Eliquis: Stomach Pain, Abdominal Swelling, Bloating, Gas (Page 5)

Have been taking Eliquis 5 mg 2x day for almost 3 months. Seem to be having Stomach Pain, Abdominal Swelling, Bloating, Gas, Facial Swelling and lots of weight gain and water retention. Also brain fog and memory problems. (It's hard to tell how much of this is from Eliquis and how much from CHF associated with A-Fib. Also taking Beta Blocker and Digoxin.)

Eliquis has been out long enough for the pharmaceutical company (BMS) to put out a REVISED list of side-effects, to reflect real-life patients' experiences. Wonder if they have done so, or when they'll do so?

Am probably going to switch to Xarelto and stop the Eliquis, in hopes that the Xarelto will cause fewer problems.

REPORT

Down regulation with Beta Blocker could contribute. Personal observation.

Screw the doctor. Doctors know very little about pharmaceuticals.

Be your own doctor; do your own research. "Your body, your choice."

I rejected statins after studying the liability/benefit ratio. The research is everywhere, except in doctors' offices.

Me too: So much back pain and hip pain and itchy skin rashes and bloating and headaches. I've been slowly and incrementally reducing my dosage because I won't let a pharmaceutical poison me like this.

I'm researching holistic alternatives. I was a perfectly healthy person who was extremely active before this pharma-crap.

Why do you get to come off the eliquis in a few months? I am having the gas and bloating and frequent bathroom trips after five days and not happy about it. Was hoping it would get better. Going to try increase my probiotic to see if that helps.

The big pharma is the big lie. Please Research nutrition and natural alternatives. Your symptoms are real and really caused by meds that are NOT good for you on so many levels. You are a billion dollar business to them. Nutrition over drugs.

Nutrition products can make claims without proof i.e. Senator Orin Hatch, Utah and Senator Tom Harkin Iowa. Bill exempted dietary and herbal supplements from FDA regulations. Claims can be made without proof. The bill was "Dietary and Supplement Health and Education Act 1994."
