WARFARIN SODIUM  (WARFARIN SODIUM):  This medication is used to treat blood clots (such as in deep vein thrombosis-DVT or pulmonary embolus-PE) and/or to prevent new clots from forming in your body. Preventing harmful blood clots helps to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. Conditions that increase your risk of developing blood clots include a certain type of irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation), heart valve replacement, recent heart attack, and certain surgeries (such as hip/knee replacement). Warfarin is commonly called a "blood thinner," but the more correct term is "anticoagulant." It helps to keep blood flowing smoothly in your body by decreasing the amount of certain substances (clotting proteins) in your blood.   FDA Approval Date: 1997-03-26 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  arterial clots Weight gain, bloating, loss of memory, forgetting words, joint pain. I am thankful for this medicine, my experience was so horrific that I'd prefer the side effects any day. This medicine is the best known to help with genetic clotting disorders. I have two and would rather be safe than to throw more clots. F 52 2 days

 2  a blood clot left leg in ultrasound Shortness of breath, cold sweats, cold hand, cold feet, shooting pain in my arm when I get my blood drawn, dizziness, weakness, confusion, pain in arms & legs, feels as if my veins were moving or shifting in my arm pain on calves, at times aren't able to bend leg with out sever pain, short pain on lower side of chest, at times middle of my chest, can't sleep, heart speeds up at times, symthoms worsen in the afternoon after taking pills use to think it was the lovenox but I have been of the lovenox for 2 days.. Must be the warfarin. When I notified my doctor he said it was not from clot or medication. But I know IT IS from the waetfarin. Even thou my doctor said it was all in my mind and reclmmended i see a phyc. From what it seems like & everything ive been reading, i belive that they are train to say that.. No one notified me of symthoms, side effect or that warfarin was a rat poisen till i started researching Warfarin side effects... I want to make it through this one for my wife and 5 kids we have together. I just hope once I'm of this pill I will be with out perment damage.. And DO NOT try to get yourself excited (horney) this will make your heart beat irregular to where you feel as tho your suffocating, Horrible feeling that's followed by cold sweats, excessive sweating, body ache, clammy cold feet and hands that are worse. Try to eat LESS vitamin K. Cause it interfers with warfarin.. Ask farmacy before taking ANY other medications. Hope I'll be off warfarin soon Its a serious drug that must be monitored by blood tests INR my is 2.0 Dr said its okay between 2.0 and 3.0.. Also keep your vitamin K low.. M 35 6 days

 3  DVT behind uterus and PEs in lungs I am experiencing dry hair and skin, ALL of my joints hurt, especially my toes, knees and ankles. I have muscle pain in my calves and and back. My menses were so heavy that I had to get an IUD to stop my cycle and hopefully prevent future cycles. I bruise extremely easily. My tongue and lips tingle and go numb sometimes. Sometimes I feel as if my throat is closing and it becomes difficult to breathe. I have also began to experience stomach pains. I've only been on this medicine for a few weeks,but is this how I am supposed to feel. I feel worse now than I did before the DVT and PEs were found. F 35 3 weeks

 5  Stroke I have not had any side effects. My INR theraputic level should be between 2.0-3.0. I was able to stabilize level within a month and a half. I am not on any other drugs that would interact with the Warfarin, so maybe that is why I am not suffering many side effects or problems getting it levelized. I am only 38 and was in great health before my stroke, so maybe that has helped. I was on birth control pills, which were immediately stopped at time of stroke....they may be a cause, may not. F 38 7 weeks

 2  DVT in Iliac Vein, May Thurner's Bloated stomach, slight weight gain, hair loss I just want to get off of Coumadin!! My stomach looks like I am five months pregnant. My INR's get above 2, sometimes, mostly I am between 1.7 and 1.8. I kept a pretty consistent diet until I was on 10 mg and just getting to 2, then I cut out spinach, green pepper, and green onion because I did not want to have to increase my dosage anymore. After my dose went over 9, I started having dizzy spells, have my period all the time and started having bloody noses for the first time EVER. I have stents in my iliac vein from my belly button down to my hip. They can't find anything wrong with my blood and after they dilate the vein again to get rid of the newest clot, I will stay on Coumadin for three more months and then I am done. I have the filter to catch the clots and prevent them from going to my lungs. My bald, fat, bleeding self is sick of this medicine. F 34 8 weeks

 4  PE in the lungs At first I had stomach ach and feeling sick because I was taking 5-10mg of warfarin at the start and my INR levels were up and down the first few weeks but in the last week there between 2.0-3.0 now on the last three blood tests. I do get lightheaded ness here and there but I drink loads of water that helps! And I get days where I don't want to eat but I force it or I get days I do want to eat, I've only had mild effects nothing serious. I'm on this for 6months and I have a baby so it's a lot to handle with a baby aswel but feeling better every week so far so I would say this medicine is good for some people but not everyone, and it would be nice if we had a medication that we didn't have to check on all the time coz that can be annoying do the tests but it can save our life's to F 32 1 months

 3  Factor V, Supervicial Thrombosis on like, 7.5 mgs a day, Noticed a little irratability, headaches, Depression, Feeling Very tired all the time, but unable to sleep. Having probelems getting comfortable in my own bed. Some Of these may be caused by other meds too, Currently on Lovenox, to thin blood as well, and Vicodin for pain. The medicine seems to be doing what its intentions are, but at the price of the side effects, is a rough road to be taken. M 23 1 months
