Low dose aspirin | F | 76 | 0 days 75 1X day | 3/12/2024 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 75 1X day | 2/6/2024 | 1 | CABG x3 and 4 stents in bypasses | Dizziness, shortness of breath, severe diarrhea, fatigue, insomnia, and anxiety | I can't believe this drug is even on the market! | F | 61 | 3 years 75 1X day | 1/20/2024 | 1 | stent | Extreme fatigue to point of exhaustion, shortness of breathe, felt so unwell, joint aching, terrible weakness, difficult thinking. | M | 81 | 2 months 75 1X day | 10/27/2023 | 1 | stroke | ffelt rerrible stool was like spraying water | All you have to do is google plavix lawsuit and you will see | M | 66 | 2 days 75 1X day | 9/16/2023 | 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 75 1X day | 7/25/2023 | 1 | Stent for brain aneurysm | Extreme weakness, tachycardia, tinnitus, depressive symptoms, lightheartedness, digestive system out of order. | Had same symptoms with Brilinta | F | 80 | 2 months 75 mg 1X day | 7/6/2023 | 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 75 mg 1X day | 7/3/2023 | 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 75mg 1X day | 4/26/2023 | 1 | Stent placement in both legs | Tiredness weakness nauseous some dizziness. Constipation. Overall feel terrible. Interferes with daily activities. | Told doctor about symptoms. Will not stop. Have to take for a month. | M | 81 | 2 weeks 75 mg 1X day | 2/1/2023 | 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. | F | 65 | 2 months 75 mg 1X day | 1/10/2023 | 1 | microclots | Extreme fatigue. Just collapsed bedridden. Sleeping laying down. Heartbeat upon standing very high very dizzy and mindfog. Absolute horrific. Felt like sudden onset of severe ME. Three weeks after stopping still no recovery. This drug isn't disclosing all Side effects in women. | F | 46 | 3 days 75mg 1X day | 1/9/2023 | 1 | Stent | Sick on my stomach all the time. I have 0 energy. Short of breath I want to sleep all the time. Muscle are sore to the touch. Headaches. Just feel awful. | I'm in misery , I sure don't want to live the short time I have left feeling like this. There has to be something else to take | F | 68 | 3 days 75 1X day | 11/24/2022 | 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 75mg 1X day | 10/27/2022 | 1 | Stent | Weak, fatigue, headaches, racing heart, joint pain, severe nosebleeds, bruising, terrible anxiety, tingling sensations in hands,head. I hate this drug. | F | 64 | 9 months 1X day | 10/26/2022 | 1 | Stents | After 3 wks.swollen legs all fingers,swollen buttocks causing pain , bloated,no appetite easy bruising ,legs burning at night,hard to walk a straight line | This is my only drug and it's a killer, not worth living under these conditions | M | 93 | 11 months 75mg 1X day | 10/4/2022 | 1 | RCA stent | Racing heart, extreme fatigue, leg pain, ringing in my ears. | If you don't have to take it -- DONT!!!! | F | 60 | 1 years 75mg 1X day | 3/16/2022 | 1 | Stent in heart | Nausea, abd discomfort, headache, joint pain, angina, faint, unsteady. | Just feel awful. Was on this drug previously and was very happy to be off it. Had felt yucky and was very unsteady, used to walk into walls. Had to go back on it after 8 months. Side effects worse! | F | 66 | 5 weeks 75mg 1X day | 2/25/2022 | 1 | Stent for unruptured brain aneurysm | Fatigue, dizziness, acid reflux, rash,stomach issues. | I hate this drug.I have to take it since having a stent put in my head for a unruptured brain aneurysm. I haven't felt like myself since starting it.My doctor wants to keep me on it till April of 22 .I don't know if I can go another 4 months taking it. | M | 55 | 5 months 75mg 1X day | 12/27/2021 | 1 | Stent | Very cold. Thinking of doing a lot but can't get off the couch. Somewhat forgetful | F | 69 | 90 days 75 1X day | 11/2/2021 |
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.
