PLAVIX  (CLOPIDOGREL BISULFATE):  Clopidogrel is used to prevent heart attacks and strokes in persons with heart disease (recent heart attack), recent stroke, or blood circulation disease (peripheral vascular disease). It is also used with aspirin to treat new/worsening chest pain (new heart attack, unstable angina) and to keep blood vessels open and prevent blood clots after certain procedures (such as cardiac stent). Clopidogrel works by blocking platelets from sticking together and prevents them from forming harmful clots. It is an antiplatelet drug. It helps keep blood flowing smoothly in your body.   FDA Approval Date: 2007-09-20 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Patient History
 1  One Stent Lethargic, weak, fatigued, lightheaded, nausea foggy, bloating and dyspnea. This medication is a necessary evil. I need to be on it for few more months. I'll be glad to be off it. Cardiologist won't accept these side effects. Genersl practitioner is more open to the side effects. HORRIBLE! I had no issues/symptoms prior to the placement of the stent. Now i feel ill all the time. Horrible feeling. Doc says "hang in there only few months left" M 75 8 months

 2  Stroke I have never had significant body pain until I got on plavix. It started maybe 2 months after starting plavix and hasn't resolved since stopping it 1 month ago. I have constant muscle pain. I used to be very strong but I now have trouble even turning lids due to pain and weakness. It hurts to lift my kids. It hurts to walk steps and go from standing/sitting.

 1  3 stents one year ago Extreme muscle fatigue. I can not do regular daily activities. I can stand for about 5 minutes before becoming exhausted. One week after beginning Plavix, I began vomiting block globs and had stomach pain. Was hospitalized, but told to continue with Placix. I'm so happy to find this site. This last year I thought I was dying. I was convinced I had a disease because I was feeling so bad. I can't really do anything but sit. Showering is exhausting. It never once occurred to me to look up the side effects of this medication. I finally did today and I am so happy and hopeful now. Im stopping today. Screw these doctors, they don't listen and they don't know what they are talking bout most of the time. It feels so good to be hopeful again. F 53 1 days

 1  Stents This drug is horrible. Sleepy all the time. Almost fell asleep driving twice and nearly burned my apartment down due to falling asleep with stove on. Have complained repeatedly to doctor but he will not change the Plavix to another medication. Says I have to take it for a year due to stents. He claims it is not the Plavix making me sleepy and drowsy. I am at my wit's end. Would change doctor but can't get seen by another doctor for months. I am told it is not the Plavix so therefore I guess the doctor is saying it is just me. I am a high energy person and not one to sleep a lot and never felt sleepy 24-7 until started Plavix. Fed up with doctor's who won't listen to their patient and claim the medication does not have these types of side effects. F 69 10 months

 1  Heart attacks. 12 stents I have no energy (bed all day long tired), dizziness, muscle pain all over and in face. The worst is the extreme abdominal pain on left and right side of body. As well as pain that radiates to my shoulder and shoulder blades. My cardiologist said it doesn't have this side effect on anyone and it's not the plavix creating this pain. Yet, I feel this pain within an hour of taking it. When I don't take it, I'm free of pain. So I think they just want everyone to fit in one box and don't mess up the flow. I had an allergy to the other two available. Rash all over body. But all 3 of them make me feel like death and I have zero energy. I feel too heavy to lift myself, I can't function at all. It's an awful medication. All of the blood thinners are horrific. It's the worst medication I've ever taken in my entire lifetime. Doctors should listen to us more and not tell us the side effects are in our head. F 53 2 years

 3  Fator5 liden clots and leg stents 17 years long lasting bruises, tinnitus, intestinal problems such as inflammation, constipation, intestinal pains, had to use laxatives often. The last year on plavix, clopidogrel. I have been told i needed bowl resection due to almost constant bowl inflammation an recurring diverticulitis. I have had other surgeries taking months to heal so i requested getting off plavix. To speed up my healing time 12 days after getting off plavix my intestinal pain is minimal my bowels are starting to work better with out need for laxative. I am looking at canceling my surgery i have 3 weeks to monitor my bowls continuing improvement. I believe i will not end up needing surgery feeling better in the last 12 to 14 days than i have in years. M 61 17 years

 1  (CAS) Carotid Artery Stent I hate this drug! I am having muscle pain, weakness, and some shortness of breath although that seems to have gotten better. My Tinnitus seems to be worse too. The insomnia, anxiety and depression are the worst thing about this drug. I haven't gotta good nights sleep since I've been on it. Can't wait to get off it next month. Hopefully all of these symptoms go away. Drug companies care very little about the side effects as long as they can sell their drugs. So many people seem to have terrible side effects from Plavix.

 1  Had stent put in Ligh theadeedness, shortness of breath, arms and legs feel weak, VERY SIGNIFICANT increase in tinnitus, and insomnia significantly worse. I hate this drug and am going to insist my Dr either take me off of it altogether or find a different medication. Was originally on brilinta and had extreme shortness of breath. The Plavix isn't any better. Probably worse as I didn't have all the other side effects when on brilinta. M 65 6 months
