I'm ready to drop off this med now because these side affects are making me crazy irritable and depressed | F | 62 | 1 months 75mg 1X day | 9/12/2015 | 3 | TIA 4 years ago | Cured all symptoms of the TIA, I was told by my doctor that I would probably be on Plavix for the rest of my life. After 2 years I started having abdominal/bladder area pains only at night. I had ultra sounds, MRI's but nothing showed up. THEN, I was scheduled for some minor surgery and was told to get off Plavix for 6 weeks. After 1 week of being off Plavix, the pains went away ! After the 6 week period, I went back on Plavix and the pains started after 1 week. My doctors and surgeon did not know of any side affects like this, but I am taking myself off this drug and I will start an aspiring regimen | If you have any pain on the right side of your bladder while lying down, these are the same symptoms I have and I would like to hear about it !! | M | 61 | 4 years 75mg 1X day | 8/28/2015 | 2 | because of a stent a year ago | shortness of breath,dizzyness always tired,confused ,light headed,anxiety.bleeding | I had a stent last aug /2014 I was put on effient and baby asprin once a day just this month the dr switched me to Plavix don't no why he just said it was cheeper I think he's afraid to take me off cause I think I had a mild stroke or the stent is closeing up | M | 48 | 1 months 75mg/daily 1X day | 7/25/2015 | 3 | 3 stents | tired difficulty sleeping | M | 65 | 6 months 75mg 1X day | 7/24/2015 | 1 | TIA/Stroke | PLEASE READ. This website saved my sanity and quality of life...I will explain. I had a TIA and immediately was placed on plavix. All evidence of my TIA was gone within 48 hours and I felt back to normal. I was told that Plavix is easily tolerated with little to no side effects. After my TIA I spent the next three weeks feeling back to myself but for anxiety after what I had been through. Then...BAMMMMM! CRUSHING, TERRIBLE LIFE ALTERING FATIGUE. I could barely leave the house. When I did I worried I could not safely drive home. This was not "tired"...this was something completely different! I had never felt like this. I contacted my Neurologist and was told fatigue is common in people who have suffered a TIA or stroke. She reassured me it is normal, and not due to any medications. I took her at her word. Then I started to experience tingling in my extremities and my face. Over the next month the quality of my life deteriorated. I went from being an act | PLEASE READ UNDER THE SIDE EFFECTS SECTION. | F | 68 | 2 months 1X day | 7/16/2015 | 1 | stent , drug eluting | Loading dose of 300 mg gave me such headache I felt like vomiting. You want to kill yourself at the thought this could be irreversible. Actually, it is irreversible in the sense that the drug never comes off its target. Off-target information is lacking. On target information is worrying as the receptor is a bit everywhere in your body, including the endothelial epithelium. Are my arteries going to heal better if I get rid of possibly essential dominos? Didn't think so... Anyway, I was given two tablets of panadol and the pain disappeared within the hour. Nobody at the hospital would mention that what I went through was probably a side effect. Surprisingly, I got very little attention at that stage, as if a code of silence prevents talking about these issues. Is that the price to pay to keep the medico-pharma complex running? Small price for the complex; rather large price for many of the patients who take this type of poison. Good thing about the drug is that you are not hungry, so I am loosing weight, which I can afford right now. Having gone through some of the literature, it is not clear why not to stick to aspirin. There is 100 mg of it in my tablet, so let' go to 200 mg per day, and reach a better outcome than current dual platelet therapy. Eat garlic, cut added sugars totally, eat less, exercise much more, and move on with your life. The day after receiving the first shot, I had some memory issues. My urine smells weird. The price of the drug represents a good mot | M | 41 | 5 days 175mg | 5/15/2015 | 3 | To prevent blood clot | Heart beat | F | 68 | 2 months 75 mg | 4/19/2015 | 5 | heart attack...2 stents in may 2014 | SEVERE FATIGUE. Joint and muscle pain and weakness. I just found out I have 4 broken bones in my spinal cord. Also just read an article that plavix makes us 50% more likely to develope osteoporosis. If someone would have told me the risks of taking plavix I would of never took it. I'm only 34 years old and feel like plavix has put a hamper in my life. I had no problems before I was on plavix. And I've read just HORRIBLE things online about plavix...watched a ABC special on plavix...the dangers of plavix!!! Be careful everybody | M | 34 | 1 years 75mg | 4/17/2015 | 1 | 2stents-arteries of abdominal aorta | Exhausted, sleepy, depressed, slight headache, no appetite, weight loss, urinating very frequently causing that to irritate cystitis of my bladder. Also severe brusing, hands, arms, legs. | Not thrilled about Plavix. Surgeon said it would only prevent blood clots 20%. Don't feel it's worth taking for 20%. | F | 67 | 6 weeks 75mg 1X day | 4/11/2015 | 2 | Sticky blood | intense pain behind ears | dunno if its the plavix | F | 55 | 7 days 75 | 3/24/2015 | 2 | Massive MI, not sure why | Memory fog, I have complained from day 1 about the fatigue which is horrible. Leg weakness feels like I'll just fall down, stomach upset, bloating, odd chest pains. | I've always been very fit and work out regularly, had unexplained heart attack and stent. Was thrown a whole list of drugs after stent, quit taking others but the aspirin and the plavix. Horrible bruising and weakness, but Dr. swears it has saved me from further complications. | M | 42 | 1.5 years 75 1X day | 3/3/2015 | 1 | dr. prescribed for a mini stroke!!! | After 25 days, I am scratching all over my body, my eyelashes itch constantly! | Before taking Plavix, I was on an aspirin daily, now I have scratched my skin horribly, it is constant, I am unable to sleep, I am uncomfortable nightly, even my scalp! | F | 49 | 1 days 75 mg | 2/25/2015 | 4 | 4 seperated times for stents | Severe headache, confusion and memory problems, abdominal cramps, blood pockets inside mouth, spontaneous bruising | Every time I have been restented, I start having a different type problem with this drug. This time is the worse and my cardiologist doesn't think it is the plavix. I am stopping it again, and searching for a different cardiologist. | F | 56 | 4 months 75mg | 2/7/2015 | 3 | Stent X 5 | 15 yrs of plavix. Bruising..bleeding..skin covered in brusies..memory loss. | M | 66 | 10 years 75 | 2/5/2015 | 1 | Blood clots in left arm after IV | Bruises all over my body, joint pain, skin feels bruised, tired, cold, very weak. I stopped taking it four days ago and I still feel horrible. I still have the blood clots in my arm | I wish I had never taken it | M | 39 | 21 days 75 1X day | 1/14/2015 | 1 | TIA ON RIGHT SIDE OF BRAIN | Multiple UTI'S, antibiotics did not work while on plavix. Than R Kidney infection. Mass amounts of urine beyond belief. In hosp taken off all meds so antibiotics worked than. But nurse said when ma goes home. Do not give her plavix tonite, we gave it to her this morning. So ma went to bed with no plavix, an next morning no bed full of urine. Durning the day, we went shopping with no piss coming threw her diaper an wheel chair. It was a blessing. Next nite gave ma 75mg plavix. Ma woke up pissed drenched. Pee'd her clothes as usual. We knew it was the plavix. Next nite we tried a 325mg aspirin. Ma pee'd like crazy as well. So we than cut plavix. in half. The peeing has stopped. But Ma use to walk with walker, an is now like rag doll, an I feel plavix is making Ma's legs not work. Her hearing goes on plavix, she gets with drawn. But I'm scared to take her off. But I'm scared to leave her on. Primary Care is affraid to make dicession. Says we have to find Doctor who put her on plavix from hosp when Ma had stroke. | They got tons of Doctors putting ppl on this, but not notified of major problems, an side effects of this drug. Ma's dose was way to high. Blood thinners pull water out of person.. They need qualified stroke Doctors. Goggle has been more helpful than any Dr. Ma will ser neurologist monday. | F | 85 | 10 months 75mg | 1/3/2015 | 5 | heart attacks, 11 stents, bypass | Easy bruising of arms, nicks and bumps cause bleeding. That said, I also take 81mg aspirin, so I'm not sure of the big culprit. | I think, from my own experience, that often people are prescribed beta blockers at the onset of heart issues, some of them very strong such as Coreg that are effective in re-modeling the heart, but are really tough to get used to. At the same time Plavix is usually prescribed, and the blame is passed on to Plavix. I went off Plavix at my insistence a year after triple bypass surgery, I thought I had the problem knocked. BIG mistake, six months later, all the bypasses failed. DON'T go off the drug without talking to your doctor, and if he/she is not responsive, find one that you can talk with and keep an open mind. | M | 73 | 13 years 75 1X day | 12/29/2014 |
