COUMADIN  (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.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  APS I have neuropathy (unknown cause) and Coumadin definitely makes it worse. So far I have been on 2mg/day which seems to be the right dose to keep my INR around 2.2. I tried Eliquis and several other blood thinners but too many side effects and having my blood checked every week or so for the Coumadin is not a problem for me. If I could somehow lessen the pain of neuropathy that would be great. F 80 4 months

 5  Blood Clot Pulmonary Embolism From what I can tell I am not suffering any side effects. But switched from Xarelto. And Xarelto has many horrible side effects. I gained 25 pounds in 3 months on Xarelto and was having many bad side effects. So far Coumadin has been amazing. And i'm losing the weight I gained. I think it was all water retention. I feel so much better on Coumadin. M 49 10 days

 2  Protein S and C deficiency Hairloss, extremely tired, dizzy, blood pressure has been dropping for years knowing average is 90/54. I am so cold. My hands and feet never get warm. I used to be so active now can barely get out of bed! I have to take high dosage 10 mg a day. I've had to have 12 inches of my large intestine removed from bleeding from ulcerative colitis. Had to have stomach surgery last year. I don't know anyone else who has had to have this high lifetime dosage. My dr says it should in be causing symptoms but I have them!! Please email me if you have similar side effects. I hope to learn all I can to help my quality of life! F 57 7 days

 1  DVT and now 2 years later for PE Thinning hair, weak nails, depression, emotionally all over the place, 1-second stabbing sensations in stomach, nausea, numbness of left arm and left leg, extreme heat to extreme cold feeling, fatigue, terrible bruising, no energy, just plain sad all the time It didn't work when I took it 2 years ago for a DVT in left calf. Kept getting pain in my left leg back then while on warfarin and did Doppler which never showed anything, then after 6 months it was gone. Recently, my leg stopped hurting but I felt as though I was having a heart attack. Ended up having to go to emergency and had CT Scan that revealed it to be bilateral PE. Now being told to go on warfarin again(???) and for LIFE since I now have clots in my lungs...think I'm gonna go the natural route this time, don't want to get violent with these ill-informed doctors...don't trust the pharmaceutical industry AT ALL ANYMORE.
