| 1 | Stroke | Extreme fatigue, confusion, nausea and slurred speech. The worse symptom was burning joint and bone pain. Beginning with the arms, it felt like my tendons were exploding along with fractures all along the bones. The burning pain was constant. I couldn't open a door or bring a glass of water to my mouth without assistance. Much to the dismay of my doctor, i took myself off this horrible drug and am now taking a baby aspirin. | It has been 5 months off Plavix and with the exception of soreness in my joints when i flex (i have the feeling that will be permanent), all previous symptoms have cleared up. I asked my doctor why i needed be on these drugs? My weight, heart, cholesterol, overall health...everything was fine but, my electrolytes were dangerously low causing palpitations which i believe lead to the stroke. Shouldn't i be taking supplements for that and a good diet/exercise regimen instead? His reply was its no longer about what caused the stroke, its about risk and prevention and wanted me to resume Plavix along with adding Lipitor to my regimen. Folks, trust your instincts and take your lives back. Question everything and don't be afraid to look for another doctor if you feel yours isn't working in your best interest. | F | 53 | 1 years 75 1X day | 8/28/2016 | 2 | Drug-Eluting-Stent | Loss energy, joint pain, blood in urine, depress, nosebleed... | I had been taken Brilinta for a month and have switched to Plavix for 3 weeks due to side effect with Brilinta (abdomen pain)... Life 's terrible with this medicine. Doc wants me to take it 12-30 months!!! I will try to stop it asap, I can't bear it! Anyone who has stopped it, please give me an advice. Thanks, Jimmy [email protected] | M | 52 | 21 days 75 1X day | 8/3/2016 | 4 | stent | bruising, fatigue | Its only been a little over 3 weeks, but my arms are so bruised they would scare children and old people! I am experiencing some fatigue especially in the a.m. However, thankfully I feel pretty good otherwise and I attribute that to the fact I am continuing to exercise one hr. per day 5 days a week with weights, stretches and walking/jogging which I have been doing for the past 41 years. Also, with my wife's cooperation I am on DASH diet. The blender drinks she makes help a lot! I called my cardiologist and complained about the bruising and fatigue and she practically pleaded with me not to stop the Plavix, saying it would be only for one year. I intend to go off it by stages at that point and let the DASH diet do the rest. Mostly though I'm thanking God for an already long life. | M | 83 | 29 days 75 1X day | 6/9/2016 | 2 | stenosis | Weakness on left side of body..pain in left shoulder and arm, left side of neck, severe headaches left cranium | F | 71 | 6 years 75mg daily | 6/8/2016 | 2 | Repeated TIA's | Bruising to back of legs daily or every other day, ‘easily bruised’ in general. | I am currently in the process of changing my medication through the chemist as I am on this medication for life and the side effects are becoming more aggressive, daily I am displaying all the signs of poisoning. | M | 50 | 15 1X day | 5/30/2016 Patient History | 1 | corronary stents | tired, lightheaded, dizzy | incredibly tired...always lightheaded, no energy.. also causes intestinal problems, constipation. it took about 2 or 3 weeks to feel all those side effects. Doctor says it is not Plavix causing this !!... it's got to be the Plavix | M | 53 | 3 months 75 1X day | 5/26/2016 | 2 | Stent for only 40% blockage!!!!! | Dizzy a lot!!!!! Right Upper Quadrant tenderness and kidneys tender. Family Doctor and Cardiologist said it is not due to Plavix but I never had any pains before stent. Also, platelets and white bloods cells markedly different from before. Please comment or email. I'm afraid that Plavix is killing me and no one wants to listen. | Stent should never have been placed. I thought that I only agreed to heart cath to determine why my BP was elevating for no reason. I was knocked out and stent was placed. I found out after review of angiogram by non-interventional cardiologist that I had no more than 40% stable plaque. Can anyone help???? | M | 61 | 3 months 75mg 1X day | 5/24/2016 | 1 | Balloon to clear artery. | Weakness legs and arms jerking.heart burn feel like stomach is spasming | Hope they are not forever | F | 69 | 1 months | 5/18/2016 | 2 | Heart stent and pacemaket | Cold hands and nose, bruise easy, tired all the time, and vision not right. | I want off of it NOW! | F | 58 | 10 months | 4/28/2016 | 3 | Stents | Brusing | None | M | 66 | 4 days 30 mg | 4/17/2016 | 1 | stent placed in RCA 10/31/15. | TOTAL loss of energy. Could barely get out of bed, so could only rarely go to cardiac rehab.My doc would no budge on this. Pharmacist suggested I take half the dosage, which barely helped. Stopped the med 8 days ago and still having the same issues. I was on the med for 5 mos. Never had BP issues and still don't. Can anyone tell. me how long it took for these horrible side effects to wear off? | Will never take again. | F | 65 | 5 months 75mg | 4/14/2016 | 2 | Stents put in heart after attack. | Light headedness, always cold, blurred vision and loss of taste. | F | 79 | 75MG 1X day | 2/22/2016 | 3 | TIA AT WORK, LEFT VERTEBRAL STENOSI | Constipation, slow bowel activity | F | 55 | 3 months 75ng | 2/9/2016 | 1 | Probable TIA | Much higher glucose, terrible brain fog, total lethargy (Zombie like state), swelling, headache, mild nausea. | My cardiologist told me to replace baby aspirin with Plavix. I'm quitting this miserable drug and going back on 81 mg. of aspirin. | F | 67 | 5 days 75 mg 1X day | 1/17/2016 | 1 | Heart attack with stent | Allergic skin hives/rash. Extreme low energy. Bloating. Blood shot eyes. Very bloody stool and blood leaking from rectum. | Doctor failed to recommend anything for the obvious Allergic reaction issue so I started 24hour Allegra/Claritin on my own. In less than 48 hours noticed dramatic improvement. By day 3 with allergy meds and Plavix I was able to tolerate the drug well with only occasional bouts of stomach upset and less extreme evidence of blood. Cardiologist wants me to continue as long as possible. | M | 58 | 2 years 75 1X day | 12/29/2015 | 1 | 2 stents | Legs feel wooden. Ostropath told me all my leg muscles are tight. Sprained right knee ligament 5 months ago, v sliw healing, left knee joint is now giving trouble. Have been on for one year and have taken myself off it, now take Apirin an Q10 plus Serrapeptase. | F | 70 | 1 days 1X day | 12/12/2015 | 2 | Pipeline Brain Stent | Extremely tired, cough and sore throat. Also taking 325 mg of aspirin. Very scared Dr will insist I continue taking this after my 6th month checkup. | F | 68 | 60 days 75 mg 1X day | 12/4/2015 | 2 | Post TIA attacks | I had 4 TIAs on the same day and was put on Plavix. I was already taking 81 mg aspirin before I had them and the hospital doctor told me to keep taking the aspirin with the Plavix. On my first visit to the neurologist, I was told to stop aspirin because taking with Plavix could cause bleeding in my brain. It seemed I did OK over several months' time except that I also took Clonidine around lunchtime and about 50 minutes later, I am useless. Now I am noticing I'm getting very tired BEFORE I take the Clonidine. My legs and arms feel like weights are tied to them and I cannot think clearly enough to take care of paperwork. Sometimes I get a strange feeling running all over my body after taking Plavix. When it's time for Clonidine, it's a double whammy until late at night. I am also getting bruises and my skin looks like crepe paper. My teeth have discolored over this past year and I can't help but feel it is due to one of these medicines. | My TIAs weren't due to blood clots, but caused my BP shooting up. The neurologist said I would never have the TIAs again if my BP was kept under control, which it is now. Don't really understand why I was put on Plavix, but asked my doctor about going back to aspirin three days ago. She said when I decide to go off of it, to take two 81 mg aspirins for a few days, then go back to one. I am fed up with the life being zapped out of me day after day, so I plan to start back on the aspirin soon. | F | 66 | 1 years 75 mg 1X day | 11/19/2015 | 1 | heart stents | I have acid reflux. After 6 weeks of taking plavix, I got a serious stomach bleed. Had to be rushed to hospital. Informed by doctor to get off plavix. When I had 2 more stents years later, I told the doctor I couldn't take plavix. His answer was: a heart attack or stomach bleed. He told me I had to take plavix. I didn't. Stents are fine. | M | 67 | 6 weeks 30 mg 1X day | 10/28/2015 | 4 | 72 have four stents .no side effect | M | 72 | 1 days 75 mg | 10/11/2015 |
