I Have Been Taking Coumadin For 3 Years The Same Every Day
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I was on 5 mg five days a week and 7.5 mg the other 2.... In the last month and a half it has now been raised again to 7.5 for 5 days and 10 the other 2. But the levels r still dropping... Can my body just be so used to the coumadin that its not effective anymore?

I have been taking coumadin for over 5 yrs and my dosages are changed regularly because my blood level fluctuates a lot. Drs can't seem to get my levels under control. I weight lift and was taking supplements (whey, creatine, casein, l-carnitine, amino acids). Well, my Dr had me stop taking them but I'm still dealing with my levels. It gets so bad sometimes that it results in me having to take Lovenox inj's. in my stomach and I can't stand needles (bad phobia). Well, can anyone help me get this problem under control? It'd be much appreciated. Does anyone know about this medication that helps prevent blood clots but u don't have to be subjected to regular blood checkups?

Hello, Scronny! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having.

That's very doubtful.

Are you on any other medications? Has anything changed in your diet? How about your activity levels?

Any new vitamins or supplements?
