| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR LOVENOX (PRESER | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | Heterozygous MTHFR gene mutation | low energy -- not able to run as long/fast or weight lift as much, coughing with mild congestion, decreased libido (no sex drive), loose stool, feels like having a weak bladder at times | Shots caused bruising with hard lumps (clots) under the injection site. Doctor says no danger of clots spreading into bloodstream, as they aren't that kind of clot. | F | 41 | 100 days | 12/10/2008 | 3 | ANTHITROMBIN III ,PREGNANCY | Fatigue, hurts for probably 5minutes, bruising | I just started this treatment so I can't tell if it's working yet | F | 23 | 3 days | 11/23/2008 | 3 | Superficial Vein Clot | Bruising, pea-sized solid red to purple "dots" around the injection site. | Has anyone come across any information about consumption of alchohol while using Lovenox? I'm trying to convince my husband not to drink alcohol on Halloween, but he insists it is safe. I cannot find any research to back me up that alcohol and Lovenox (in particular) don't mix, although there are plenty of warnings about oral blood thinners (coumadin, heparin, ect.) Any help is appreciated! | F | 30 | 7 days | 10/28/2008 | 3 | PE 2 weeks after hysterectomy | pain and discoloration at injection site, hard nodules under skin, loss of energy, anxiety, loss of bladder control | I didn't suspect the lovenox as the cause of energy loss, anxiety, and bladder problems. But as soon as my course of treatment was over, two of the three cleared up. I can only hope that the third one will too! Now on Warfarin, I don't really know how effective the lovenox was. I just know I feel a whole lot better without it. | F | 59 | 2 weeks | 9/5/2008 | 3 | Knee replacement | Feel jittery, shaky and anxious. Diarrhea. Injections are painless, minimal bruising. | I don't really know about the effectiveness of the drug. I have had other knee replacements but this is the first time I have had to use these shots. I don't have a problem with the shots, but I feel awful. I shake and feel anxious all of the time. | F | 49 | 14 days | 8/26/2008 | 3 | Thrombophilia and Pregnant | large bruising, stinging at injection site, hard lumps at injection site, decreased platelet count | I am on Lovenox due to FVL and FII Prothrombin. I have hx of fetal loss, PE, and DVT with first pregnancy. I am now on the Lovenox b/c I am pregnant again. If you are not pregnant, you might want to ask your doctor about "Arixtra" instead. It is a 1x daily shot instead of 2 and I had no bruising or stinging with it. It is not recommended with pregnancy though. | F | 30 | 1 months | 7/9/2008 | 3 | DVT&PE | Pain & swelling at injection site, bruising,feeling very tired like getting sick,headache,possible depression | 100mg ,twice daily | M | 38 | 6 weeks | 4/15/2008 | 3 | "Monster" clot in surface vein | I've read all the comments to date. No one mentioned bloody urine as a side effect. On my fifth day I awoke to a toilet bowl full of what looked like beet juice! Where did that blood come from. My doctor recommended that I finish my "course' of four more injections, but I chose not to since I was also having mild stomach discomfort. After skipping the a.m. injection, by noon my urine returned to normal. Most of my injection sites developed a small bruise, but one turned into an eggplant sized and colored bruise that expanded even more as it began to fade. | F | 65 | 5 days | 11/11/2007 | 3 | DVT and pregnancy | I started on 100mg daily once a day and experienced chest thightness, nausea and depression. It is hard to tell if it's the medicine or the pregnancy, I didn't felt depressed and all-day nausea with my first baby, so I'm sure it's the medicine. Then they changed my dosis to 60mg twice a day and chest pain was gone, but I'm back in the 100mg dosis and the chest pain is back. | M | 32 | 30 days | 10/7/2007 | 3 | IVC Filter | Have been on Lovenox for 4 yrs. after failing coumadin.After bilateral P.E.'s they put the filter in and ever since have been on anti-coags and have felt terrible with flushing, chest pain, increased sweating, heat intolerance,fatigue, diarrhea, etc.I wonder in I just shouldn't go off these blood thinners but I am afraid of the blood clots that can form around these filters. | F | 59 | 4 years | 10/4/2007 | 3 | protein s deficiency/ PE'S AND DVT | Hard knots in stomach as large as baseballs at times.very sore stomach most of time.I'm a life longer on this drug but while being on it and asprin still had a heart attack and stroke.I also have frequent tia's. I would like to hear from someone who is a lifer and any long term effects from this drug. | F | 34 | 3 years | 9/25/2007 | 3 | DVT & PE | Both sides are very bruised & the right side is in extreme pain to touch. I am having major anxiety to take another injection, seem to have some depression also. | Make this in pill form! I am not afraid of needles but the abdomen for injections is just not a normal site. I was only able to inject myself twice before a family member had to do it for me. I experienced much anxiety to self inject. | F | 54 | 7 days | 8/27/2007 | 3 | DVT & Pulmonary Embolism | Severe leg and abdominal muscle cramps; lumps at injection site; pain from injections | The injections are just too much of a hassle, and at some injection sites, the fat breaks down and hardened spots on the abdomen result. Also, I've awaken with severe leg cramps that remain sore for days. Also, lots of bruising. I tried Coumadin but because of extensive business travel couldn't regulate very well. | M | 48 | 10 months | 3/27/2006 | 3 | blood clot in left leg | sore stomach and arms, knots formed whenever i bumped into anything | helped prevent further blood clots but very sore after 1 month | F | 15 | 10 months | 10/17/2005 | 3 | leg clot | my stomach became very sore from all the needles and some of the lumps are still there 3 years later | needs to be in tablet form | M | 42 | 3 months | 12/17/2004 | 4 | Multiple lung pulmonary embolisms | I was recently put on this medication while admitted into the ER following a surgery. I would say I haven't been on it long to know all side effects, but I have intense anxiety, burning shoulders during anxiety, daily headache and it stings for a few minutes just after injecting the medication. I am on this twice a day. Some areas upper of the stomach hurt worse. I also feel my appetite has been suppressed some but I'm in no way complaining about weight loss. | I have Gastroparesis and my stomach doesn't work to properly absorb or metabolize medication therefore this shot is what I'm taking instead of an oral medication. | F | 39 | 0 months 80 mg 2X day | 9/22/2021 | 4 | blood clot in right atrium on port | I am new to this drug but not to giving myself shots. I have been on methotrexate injections for several years 1 time a week.I also have been on several self injectable biological drugs for my ra. But NEVER and I do mean NEVER have i had knots with pain & bruises like this! Tgey are to the point I literally cry because they hurt so bad. | F | 39 | 10 days 110 | 9/15/2014 | 4 | DVT AND PE AND FACTOR V | Bruising and nodulers under skin where injections were given ... | F | 55 | 10 months 90mg | 6/19/2013 | 4 | PE | Massive hematomas, damage to liver and grossly enlarged pancreas, price is outrageous!! I have hereditary elevated factor VIII, Coumadin resistant. Had to go off lovenox due to abn numbers from kidney functions. I feel like a walking time bomb!! | F | 34 | 4 months 120 2X day | 11/6/2012 | 4 | Blood clots | Stinging sensation,light bruising. mild headaches. Injecting slowly eases the pain. Night sweats. | M | 51 | 3 months 30mg 2X day | 3/19/2012 |
