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.

Sorry Jerome, but this site is to help by informing others how the people who have taken the drug Eliquis have experienced it and what they did about it - 90% of what I've read has been totally negative - period. This blood thinner is a very dangerous element and read the comments of what physical harm and discomfort it causes. I take your snide remark as a photo of who you are - you see how easy it is to be snide - Good Luck - no thought whatsoever.

Been on Eliquis for 3 weeks for pulmonary embolism with infarction. I have had no side effects to this med. At 47, I'm learning more then I really wanted to know about these meds and conditions, but I'm thankful for no clots!

always look forward to hearing positive replies to the drug blood thinner Eliquis - but - it does seem they are few and far between - anyone can check that out. So to Update 6/18/17: Since Sept. 2016 over 9 months ago I was told the chances of my gettig a stroke or a heart attact were almost a given if I did not immediately take A VERY DANGERIOUS BLOOD THINNER CALLED ELIQUIS. I am an 85 year old female, previous long term tennis player, jogger, hath yoga instructor and always conscious of health issues, fortunately I have never been on drugs other than short-term ones e.g. antibiotics, so still happily holding out on ELIQUIS. All you 60 year olds how I wish!
fortunately I have never been on drugs of any kind other than short term antibiotics

I have been on eliquis for a little over a year. My blood test and cbc came back normal, but my doctor refuses to take me off this drug! I feel like i am on LIFE SUPPORT! He says it's possible i will have a stroke. I don't know what to do? If i would have known then what i know now, i never would have never taken this drug. They didn't tell me upfront about this drug! I am beginning to believe it's all about money!! $300.00 a month.

What are the negatives of this drug? I have been taking it for almost one year! I'm scared to death to take it. My dr refuses to change it to Coumadin! At least there's an antidote to that.

I have experienced extreme hair loss taking blood thinners. Can I take flax seed or is there another way of hair growth?

Have been on Eliquis now for about 18 months. Initially had swelling of legs and feet but my system has adjusted itself now to this pill. I take 2.5 mg twice a day. Also take Furosemide. Apart from the unpleasant odour of urine and faeces I have no complaints. Steady body weight; I have to eat to keep that up. 5 ft 6, 118 lbs. I am 92. I am avoiding dairy and beef, and alcohol,and limit my coffee intake to one cup per day.
Also cut white sugar and white flour out. I am quite well considering my age.-.

I was diagnosed 3 days after Christmas with a DVT. My doctor put me on Eliquis and I'm allergic to everything but I have had no side effects that I'm aware of with Eliquis so far
