I am 62 and have no history of hypertension, yet there was a sudden spike in my blood pressure reaching 160/100, so my Dr. prescribed several medicines (Amlodipine 5mg, Enlapril, Clopidogrel 75mg, Aspirin 75mg, Atrovastatin). I took them for 4 days and immediately my B.P. showed normal. Then the Dr. told me I will have to take the medications as prescribed for the rest of my life or I will have to face rebound effects. I don't like the idea of being on medications forever. It was a small sporadic incidence with grade 1 mild heart dysfunction. I then went for a 2nd opinion from an expert Dr. He asked me to discontinue all previous medications and take only 1/2 Amlodipine and 1/2 aspirin daily for 6 months. I found one of the previous meds was Plavix (Clopidogrel) and learned that it ...

Since I have been on generic Plavix (apo-clopidogrel) I have noticed that my bleeding time is almost normal and not long as it was when I took Plavix. Dosage is 75mg a day. This worries me because I have a cardiac stent and don't think that my blood should clot this fast with this drug. ## There can sometimes be some minor fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient in a generic medication. Learn more APO Clopidogrel details here. What has your doctor said about it? What has the clotting time been? ## Going to see my GP next week-will let you know the results. ## My doctor put me back on Plavix.

I have been taking clopidogrel 75 for circulation for nearly four years now and my hair is so thin It won’t cover my scalp properly, the loss has speeded up in the last six months and I would like to know if you think it will stop before I loose it all (which won’t be long) or is there anything else you can suggest, thank you. ## That is not a common side effect, as listed by the FDA. They are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased risk of bleeding, and easy bruising. There is really no way to be sure how any given medication will affect anyone that takes it, though. Are you on any other medications? How old are you? Have you consulted your doctor? There are other medications in this class that you can try.

i was prescribed Clopidogrel 75 after a suspected TIA. All completed tests results were normal but i suffer from post-polio syndrome and have muscle weakness in both upper and lower limbs. Since taking Clopidogrel i have experienced symptoms similar to flu symptoms, which diminished a few days after stopping the medication. I also feel very lethargic and fatigued whilst on the medication. Any explanation? i am reluctant to take the medication firstly because the TIA was not proved to have taken place and secondly because i feel so ill whilst on it. ## All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, and the NIH does list those as being possible ones from this medication, along with dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and easy bruising. Have they checked your clotting...

Hi Everyone... Has anyone experienced depression while on 75mg of Clopidogrel daily? Does anyone know, if there are any cardiac meds that do not cause or exacerbate depression? ## Yes, the FDA does list depression as being a possible side effect of Clopidogrel, along with nausea, headache, easy bruising, and increased risk of bleeding. Ref: Clopidogrel Information Is this the only medication you are currently taking? What condition is being treated with it? I'm sorry, but it is impossible to research alternative medications for you, without some additional information.

I have been taking clopidogrel 75mg + atorvastatin 10mg + metoprolol 10mg + telmisartan 40mg for the past 3 years since the date of my Bypass surgery. My doctor told me to use them life long, but are there any adverse effects that come with long term use? ## Hello, Krishna! How are you? To be quite honest and upfront, it is far more risky for you to stop taking them, if you have a heart condition, or high blood pressure. There are risks associated with the long-term use of any medication, according to NIH reports, but untreated high blood pressure, or heart issues could be fatal. Have you experienced any issues?
