Folks who have problems are quick to get on a site like this one. I would like to hear from some folks who have not had any problems and are satisfied with the medicine. Also, what % of folks have serious side effects.

I have been on Eliquis since July 2016 after my second P.E. I have also noticed that some days I have blurred vision. I am not diabetic which is something I get checked for. I still get short of breath but I had a lot of damage done by multiple clots. Thanks for sharing!

I am a generally fit white male, 63 yo. I was diagnosed with DVT/PE.
I have been on Eliquis for 3 mos. I have not experienced the wide range of negative side affects described by others. However, I have seen some blurred vision.
The shortness of breath due to PE is no longer an issue. If I had read the bad comments before taking Eliquis, I might have passed. My experience so far has been positive.

It will get better. I think if you exercise more it should help. I just quit worrying. I think I was depressed from all of the bad comments. I am 65, don't smoke or drink. I don't think it's that bad of a drug, just takes time for your system to get used to it. Just my thoughts. Good luck.

I have been on eliquis 2.5 twice a day for 6 months had similar effects. I started exercising more and felt a lot better. I also take a b complex and it really helps. I watch what I eat and have cut down on salt. I feel ok during the day. Just tired when I wake up.

I am transitioning from warfarin to eliquis..for 5 days due to test concerning my veins..then the evening of the test I will take my regular dose of warfarin along with a 5mg of eliquis for three days after... My question is will warfarin and eliquis cause a reaction when taking both?

Have been on eliquis for 6 months now. I am 65 and have my normal aches and pains. The cost is very high. I started doing more exercise lately and this seems to help. So far I feel this drug is somewhat safe. It seems everything I read is negative. Would like to see more positive comments out there, would make me feel better. Lastly, I don't drink or smoke.

I am having miserable side effects such as heaviness in my legs and arms and extreme fatigue from reducing the dosage from 5mg to 2.5mg of Eliquis.

Would your doctor agree to xeralto? Might be worth switching. My issue with Eliquis is 3/4 of my once thick hair is gone.

I haven't really had any side effect that I have noticed from the Eliquis other than the anxiety from the bleeding threat that I have had drilled into my brain from any and every single person that even remotely overhears eliquis. I do have INSANELY heavy periods & call it shark week. I cant really leave the house for fear of an embarrassment. I end up showering 3 or 4 times a day because of the leakage. I use the heavy flow overnight pads and go thru about 9 to 12 a day. I am really frustrated with the whole thing. I hate having to be locked away with out the ability to do just quick grocery run, it is just ridiculous. I get very dizzy and super nauseous as well. I wish that I had any better option.

i noticed you had written your message some time ago 2015 - however i'm responding because I have not taken the two drugs the cardiologist recommended Eliquis and Metoprolol for two reasons: 1. such negative stories have been written, and I get other people messaging who say largely people who react badly write about it, where the positives do not. 2. I had to change my insurance as of Jan 1st 2017 and as yet haven't established myself with that group of doctors. I am greatly wary of these drugs as I have lived my 84 years drug free - not even an asperin - only anti-biotics for serious sinus infections over the years. I am definately looking into the "NATURAL WAY TO ADDRESS AFIB" and appreciate the foods and spices you mentioned.

since August 2016, I have lost several pounds, have watched my sodium content, have taken several vitamen supplements especially magnisium, potasium, baby aspirin, D3 and B12. From Aug thru Dec 2016 I have lowered my BP from the range of 150/100 to 140/85 in general but my pulse still runs the gamet 85 to105. I have not taken the two drugs the cardiologist ordered (Equalis and Metoprolol)
On Jan 1,2017 my insurance changes from Brown and Toland to Kaiser Perm
so I'll be hearing from a whole new team of doctors, just hope they are more understanding of people's fear of these blood thinner drugs and recommend a more natural way to help the body assimilate to the problem of Afib.

after a month of searching for comments on the drug Eliquis and people who have been taking it with positive results, this web is the first that was in my email in response. I am very relieved to know people are talking about it. However, at the time i asked about equilis i failed to be specific about my particular concern and after reading all the comments, unless i missed it, nobody seems to be taking this drug because THEY HAVE AN IRREGULAR HEART BEAT. Hope there will be more people who are dealing with irregular heatbeats and what has been successful for them.

I started taking Eliquis about 8 months ago after having severe pulmonary embolisms I have had absolutely no side effects and think it's a very user-friendly drug. The only nagging worry I had was what happens if I cut myself badly. Well a few days ago it happened I had two extremely deep cuts requiring several stitches.by the time I got to the emergency room the bleeding has stopped which was a great relief to me. Not saying that's the way it will be for everyone but that's what happen for me
