Peroid While On Xarelto

Had DTV a little over a month ago, which was confused with a pulled muscle for more then 10 days (the massages i did... When i wasnt even supposed to be walking) , finally went to doctors who also confirmed serious PE on both lungs. Was taking normal dosage 15mg 2 x day for 21 days and 20mg daily after that. My first period was normal while in my hospital stay levonox most of the time, my second started 3 days ago and it been one crime scene after another!!!!! bleeding seems to get worse in the hrs right after i take my daily dose. Should i split the pill and take it twice a day? I read online it has helped with other side effects, please help... Barely sleeping anymore...

REPORT

You are not the only one to have reported such an occurrence. Many other women have experienced the same thing and it is listed by the FDA as a possibly side effect of Xarelto.

You may also experience headache, joint/muscle aches and easier bruising.

However, it would be best not to change your dosage, without your doctor's approval. Most women did find that their periods stopped, just like always, they were just heavier than usual.

If the bleeding becomes dangerous, or doesn't stop, then you should seek medical attention.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I am on the same meds. Even started the same dosage and now on 20mg once a day. I started my period June 14th and it was very heavy for a long time and it is now July 10th and I am still on my period. It's driving be crazy. Also I get real jittery and can't sleep at night. And lose my breath easily.
