Eliquis And Depression (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

66 yr old male, 5'11", 191 lbs. Exercise daily. Prescribed 5MG Eliquis x 2 day. Since starting approximately 3 weeks ago I have become extremely depressed to the verge of crying. Never been like this before and I contribute this depression to the drug. Also very lethargic which I contribute to Eliquis. Anyone with similar reaction? Was on a aspirin and I think I should return.

I suspect this depression to be directly linked to the drug.

REPORT

Have been busy and just saw my e-mails and this one about ELIQUIS. While I show no signs of depression I am indeed very worried about this drug. Started it for Atrial Fibrillation which I now know was caused by Omeprazole. New doc was asked by Hospital to take me off it and try Zantac 300mgs at bedtime and one 10MG OF omeprazole in morning and since doing this no more A.F. however I am still on ELIQUIS and wish that I was not. Terrible pains in stomach/abdomen 3-4 hours after taking this and then it settles down a cramp like pain and as I have I.b.s used to have it once in a blue moon I am now having this 3-4 days a week. This drug also makes psoriasis worse.

Therefore I think more research should be given into such a powerful drug and I appreciate that what is one persons medicine is an others poison just feel that they don't know enough about it. My doc will not put me on warfarin as she said its an out of date drug but at least it has been tried and evaluated. If you are taking say Co-codamol or something like that for pain then this and the other could be very bad for you. As I always say its your body and you will know what is causing your problem just deal with it before its too late. GOOD LUCK

To add more pain to my situation I have been prescribed the following meds for elevated HBP: •Amlodipine- Benazepril 5-20MG (1 tablet, once a day) Bystolic 5MG (1 tablet, once a day). The Bystolic is a beta blocker and is resulting in ED. Is there a different drug I can take to replace Bystolic IOT reduce the ED effect? Life sucks......Appreciate your reply. Thx.

Hello Abel! How are you? I'm very sorry about the way you're feeling.

Yes, depression can be a side effect of this medication, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

If it is that severe, then yes, you should most likely consult your doctor about stopping it and trying something else.

Is there anything else I can help with?
