 1  Large Pulmonary Saddle Embolism Massive hematoma on belly, covering left to right side and 6" wide. Extreme nausea, headaches, dizziness, stomach aches. After 4 months I am still, daily, effected by this medication with severe stomach upsets. Nobody in the hospital asked me how I react to medicines, was never given any options. Nobody noticed how sick Lovenox was making me. The pharmaceutical company should have a law suit filed against them. F 8 days

 1  My mom was taking it aft knee repla My mother had Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia AND Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis after 10 doses of Lovenox! She almost died. Only 10 reported cases of this in American Medical Journals-only one to a replacement patient-hip-69 years old and she died! My mother is the only living knee replacement patient to have survived it! She has been on Arixtra for 4 months. Even though it is rare-people are allergic to Lovenox/Heparin and if they are it most often is fatal! Watch for headaches, nausea, vomiting after you start taking it!!! 10 days

 1  pregnancy My wife was put on lovenox during her pregnancy, because she had a blood clot in her leg 20 years earlier. When she was 7.5 months pregnant, she died of a brain aneurysm. The doctors are pretty coy about what role the blood thinner played, but I cannot help but think that she would not have internally bled to death without the blood thinners. Even with the lovenox, my wife had a miscarriage a year before the pregnancy where lovenox participated in her bleeding to death. F 38 7.5 months

 1  Rheumatoid Pluracy Severe burning at injection site followed by a skin rash. Burning continued and rash grew larger and itching began. I have no history of clots or high blood pressure. After three days of intense burning, rash and itch I refused injections. If you need it take it. In my case it appears the hospital was pushing lovenox to raise my bill. M 69 3 days

I have had so many medical problems happen i cant even list them all. when i called Lovenox..the customer service problem said yes this can happen but arent you glad you didnt get a blood clot! i was furious!!

 1  knee surgery Have had two open heart surgeries to replace the aorta valve. Last surgery in 2005, and have been on Coumadin since 1968 with no problems. Scheduled for knee surgery and cardiologist prescribed Lovenox. Questioned this since have never had to use it before, but was told it's to prevent clots which can occur with knee/hip surgeries. Took first injection had a mild headache - which was unusual since I don't get headaches often. Next shot, the headache continued so I called cardiologist who said it wasn't from the med. Had headache every day..... end result - had brain surgery to remove large amounts of blood. No one listened and no one cared. Be loud, be verbal, and insist that someone listen to you. My life has been forever changed.... and not for the better. M 63 1 weeks

 1  knee replacement surgery I went into anaphylactic shock on this drug! I had at least 2 seizures, and nearly died. It began with nightmares, then seizure; water standing on my body, trouble breathing; loss of bladder control; milk and coffee tasted thick as syrup; metallic taste; weakness/faintness; fading of vision/light. For me, this is a very dangerous drug. My doctor had only been using it for 2 months,(I suspect by way of 'incentives' from drug company), and because it was a holiday weekend, he was unavailable to treat me or to tell me to get off the drug. F 68 5 days

 2  Factor V Liden & history of DVTs when I first started taking it I had tachycardia and high BP and was in the hospital for a week, they said it was because of the fillers and switched me to brand name (Lovenox) I have been on it 7 yrs now, and this has ruined my quality of life! I have severe dizziness and balance issues. I often get faint. I have terrible sweats and heat intolerances. it effects my vision. I get week long headaches. swelling and fluid retention in my feet, legs & hands along with heaviness. weakness and terrible fatigue. TERRIBLE brain fog. anxiety. stuffed nose. low urine output, hyperlypedima. huge hematomas on my stomach. tingling all over worse at higher doses. blood in urine. taste of blood in my mouth. hair loss, dose related. because of all the side effects I have lowered my dose, so far no clots. I'm going to start taking it once a day at night instead of twice to hopefully sleep through the worst of the side effects since I can be more active during the day. if not I'll lower it again! I have 2 brain aneurysms and even being on it makes me nervous. over time symptoms have gotten worse so I guess my body is just not tolerating it anymore. we weren't meant to be on this that long no information for life long use.

 2  Dvt,Ovt and pregnancy Extreme hematomas, pain, and tenderness at the injection site. Have had to receive stitches for severe bleeding at injection site. Mild nausea and vomiting. I was on arixtra for almost 2 years with no problems, due to not becoming therapeutic on warfarin 6 months prior. Arixtra was perfect for me and the reason I had to switch to lovenox was due to my pregnancy. I have had 3dvts in my legs, and 1 massive dvt on my ovary, all of which while taking warfarin. I would recommend arixtra to anyone currently on lovenox because of less side effects. As I became further along in my pregnancy, pinching skin was harder than ever, and I was allowed other injection sites besides my stomach, but with the same results, horrible hematomas that required stitches. Very disapointed with this drug, mainly because I've seen how blood thinners don't have to interfere with your daily life. For everyone who reads this and is dissatisfied with lovenox, but doesnt know of anything better, ask your doctor about arixtra! F 28 9 months
