Heavy Periods Eliquis (Top voted first)

I was diagnosed with a blood clot in my leg after foot surgery a couple weeks, i am on Eliquis. I started my period 24 hours ago and it is so heavy with tons of huge clots that it's making me really nervous. I have had so many "accidents" in less than 24 hours than i usually do in 6 cycles. I went through a thick heavy flow overnight pad in 4 hours. All through the night i had to get up and go to the bathroom every 45 minutes which didn't leave time for much sleep, I'm nervous to fall asleep for more than an hour or two at a time. Is this normal, I'm only 37.

Yes, Eliquis can cause you to bleed more and experience more clots, during your menstrual cycle, according to FDA warnings. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, and headache.

However, it is best to inform your doctor, since this might not be the best medication for you to take, and you might need to try something else.

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?
