Reducing Dosage Of Xarelto

I have had 2 strokes (2007 & 2014) & a DVT (2013). I am on Xarelto 20mg now for about 17 months. For the last several months I have been noticeably more fatigued, tired, weak... I have pain in my muscles & joints. Would these symptoms be less if I was on a lower dose of Xarelto, perhaps the 10mg? I am way healthier overall now than I was when these incidents occurred.

Hello, Laurin! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems you're experiencing.

Yes, those can be side effects of Xarelto, as listed by the FDA, you may also experience headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

A lower dosage may reduce them, but with your medical history, please don't change your dosage, without your doctor's approval.

Is there anything else I can help with?
