Hello, Teresa! How are you?

It is always best to follow your doctor's instructions. It is fairly common to have some skip doses of this medication, or alternate the days they take it to keep their levels where they should be. Did you mention your concerns to your doctor?

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.
