Eliquis Satisfied Users (Page 2) (Top voted first)

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.

REPORT

I have a blood clot going to the main artery of my heart and my left lung is full of cloths and one in the calf of my leg they put me on Eliqis since June . I take 5mg twice a day and hope they never take me off it. Only problem is some hair loss.

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 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.

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 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 would like to hear from folks who have had a relatively side effect free experience with Eliquis. The only folks who get on sites like this are those who have a complaint. Isn't their anyone out there who had a terrible free or close to trouble free experience?

In my experience I think Marty is right about how most users who have a positive experience with meds tend to not feel the need to post, unless it's a unique situation; but when someone has a bad side effect they might be more inclined to go on the internet and see if anyone else has had a similar reaction that they can relate to... Seems to be a part of human nature if you ask me...

One thing that I do feel is important to understand though, is how each individual may react/respond differently due to things like body chemistry, age, weight, diet, dosage, and other personal factors that can influence a person's biochemistry... not only from a physical standpoint but also energetically, as we are all made up of energy.

So as to what percentage of patients experience serious side effects, I'm not sure an accurate answer could be given (namely for the reasons mentioned above) unless it's bound to a smaller select group of people who post on sites like this.

My husband is having mental confusion, on Eliquis, so I did want to know if others were having this problem. I love him so, if it is this drug it not for him. He now very tried and repeating himself, which he never did before. I am scare it could become permanent. It was not list as a side effect. Nor was the pain he now has.

I went on naturals after six months on xeralto with the surgeons blessing. Within five days I had aggressive pulmonary embolisms. Please be careful. I detest drugs too. Trauma medicine has its benefits.

I have been on Eliquis almost 3 years now and I am very happy with it. I had so many problems with the Coumadin. The only issue I have with blood thinners is that my scalp itches and I have some hair loss. I have had this issue with all blood thinners I have tried. Eliquis is by far the best I have used!

What "natural" blood thinner did you go back to?
I started Eliquis last week. I was on Xarelto for one year and had so many side-effects I could hardly walk! I asked my dr about switching me to something else and he suggested Eliquis.

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 was recently diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat but wasn't aware it could be a side effect of this medicine?

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.
