| 3 | DVT in subclavian vein in right arm | foggy headed, dizzy, extreme fatigue, emotional "roller coaster", over all feeling of being ill, nausea | I was diagnosed with the DVT in my right arm after spending a week in the hospital with severe pancreatitis (4 days in ICU and 3 days in a regular room). It has been 3 weeks since I started Coumadin (Warfarin) and I have an all over feeling of being ill, foggy headed, dizzy, extreme fatigue and feel like I am on a roller coaster with my emotions - one minute I am happy, the next I am crying and the next I am biting someone's head off..... My arm still hurts, feels numb from shoulder to hand and I hurt in my shoulder blade as well. | F | 35 | 3 weeks 7.5mg 1X day | 5/6/2011 | 5 | 3 DVT, 1st when pregnant, Factor V | Just some bruises from time to time. Normal to get a bruise, but they are darker since on coumadin. | Being on coumadin saved my life! I had endometrial cancer post menopause, and it allowed me to bleed sooner than if I had not been taking coumadin, thus catching the cancer at a very early stage. | F | 62 | 8 years 6mg 1X day | 5/5/2011 | 3 | Sub-Massive Pulmonary Embolism | I am a 22 year old female. I started coumadin in January 2011. (3 months ago) At first, I began waking up with both of my hands completely numb every morning. However for the past few weeks, I no longer wake up with numbness in my hands but instead both of my wrists and thumbs feel extremely painful at the joints. Also, I noticed that my feet constantly ache especially on the heels. I am otherwise healthy and have never experienced injuries or pain in my wrists, thumbs, or feet before my p.e. and coumadin. | Does any one have any advice on my situation?? | F | 22 | 3 months 4-6mg 1X day | 4/29/2011 | 3 | 3 blood clots post surgery | consistent acne breakouts, mind in a fog sometimes, drowsy | I have 3 blood clots post surgery, and I'm told I have to take this 3-6 months (2.5mg - 5mg per day). I CANNOT wait to get off of Warfarin/Coumadin. I used to be acne prone years ago, and now this drug has brought all that acne back. Some days, my mind is kind of hazy, and I get drowsy on occasion, too. | M | 39 | 2 months 5 MG 1X day | 4/29/2011 | 1 | Recurring DVT in Left Leg | Weight GAIN! Feeling sad, consantly feeling like im in a fog, fatigue, thinning of hair, shortness of breath, acne. | After reading all these posts.. I feel more at ease but angry too! Im sorry for your side effects, but thankful what I have been feeling and the changes to my body, is not just happening to me but other coumadin users. I finally feel like I have an answer. Ive been told I have to be on coumadin for life. I just called to make an appointment with my doctor. I am gong to tell him Im not taking the coumadin and either he offers an alternate or i'll just pay the price. I hate living like this! Im not me and havent been since I started this. HATE COUMADIN.. AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS!!! | M | 47 | 4 years 7.5mg 1X day | 4/27/2011 | 3 | clot prevention. had TIA, have afib | low energy, feeling sad, weight gain,poor sleep | F | 84 | 6 weeks 1X day | 4/25/2011 | 2 | Recurring DVT in left leg | fogginess, no motivation, severe headaches, achiness and fatigue | F | 27 | 1.5 years 20 1X day | 4/25/2011 | 2 | DVT- Left Leg. From heal to groin. | itchiness, | I am frustrated because this drugs interacts with so many other medications and because of this my INR Level has been at 1.48 for 6 months. No Vitamin K in diet at all. I have changed other medications in order to see if these levels would increase. But they have not. | F | 39 | 6 months 16MG 1X day | 4/18/2011 | 2 | root valve replacement | weight gain, thinning hair, tired all the time, brain fog | F | 44 | 1 years 5 mg 1X day | 4/17/2011 | 1 | several PE's | No energy, lack of interest in things I use to enjoy, difficult to interact with people ( very different from my pre-coumadin years ), joint pain, sleep more | I wish the drug companies would come up with an alternative for patients who have side effects to coumadin | F | 52 | 12.5 1X day | 4/9/2011 | 3 | UE DVT | Tingling (pins and needles) in both hands, arms ache, dizziness, joint pain (not sure, I have RA as well but have not had any joint pain until taking this medicine). Stress as to these things going on... | Since my Hematologist has never heard of anyone else having these side effects, I made an appt with Neurologist because I am worried I have a clot in my brain. Since I see all of you that have so many similar syptoms, I am very frustrated. Dr's don't know why I have clot in my arm and aren't at all being aggressive as to finding out. I feel like I am completely on my own. | F | 46 | 2 months 8.5 1X day | 4/6/2011 | 1 | A Fib | Easily gained a lot of weight (though I work out every day), itchy skin, general weakness and body achnes, daily joint and chest pains, indigestion, moodiness, lack of sec drive, nosebleeds...you name it. | Going off coumadin has been a lifesaver. I now take pradaxa (only a week) and my symptoms have virtually disappeared. I feel like a new person. Coumadin was the worst drug I have ever encountered. | M | 51 | 2 years 5mg 1X day | 3/26/2011 | 4 | Factor V Leiden | acne increased | at my age shd not be getting acne. have changed makeup, skin cleanser, avoided chocolate (a trigger for me), watched diet, etc. & still get one new large blemish as soon as old one heals. very frustrating. | F | 69 | 4 years 3 mg 1X day | 3/25/2011 | 2 | dvt | nausea, dizzy, constant joint pain - just felt terrible-no appetite-tired and lost interest in all activities. | Told doctor that this poison is horrible--he switched me to PRADAXA---no more inr lab tests---feel better- | M | 70 | 30 days 10mg 1X day | 3/25/2011 | 3 | Bilateral PE | Complete loss of appetite. Chills and severe fatigue. Acne definately on the increase. I'm not sure if the med is causing the hopelessness... or life issues. | It appears that I got my PE after a rapid decline and removal of Cymbalta. I was on 60, did 30's for a few days and ended up with symptoms and in the hospital not quite two weeks later. | F | 39 | 14 days 2.5 - 5 1X day | 3/20/2011 | 3 | PE on both lungs & DVT in left leg | cold , pain in leg , shortness of breath at times , depression , feel like im losing plot forgeting things and just ramble on about anything , tiredness, no motivation ,memory problems , | F | 40 | 3 months 3mg 1X day | 3/16/2011 | 5 | Lupus Like Anticoagulant | I am cold sometimes and sometimes tired. I do have headaches, but I believe it is from lack of Estrogen. I take Topamax 2X daily to help them. My knees get achy, but I work in a job that requires me to stand and it is on a tile floor, so this could be the problem. I do take a nap when I am extra tired. I just listen to my body. My fingernails do not grow very well any more. I will be taking this for life, so I am just trying to make the best of it and living life to the fullest! | I have not had any hair loss. No problems with weigh gain, as I do strength training 3 times a week, yoga one day and a couple days of cardio. I eat every 3-4 hours daily and I am very consistent with what I eat. I believe that my INR is in range because of my eating and exercise habits. This also helps my attitude. I do have to take name brand, Coumadin, not Warfin in order to stay in range. | F | 56 | 7 years 10 mg 1X day | 3/14/2011 | 1 | double valve replacement | gained over 50 lbs,depression,crying for no reason.crosseyed bouts,dizziness,always tired even after long periods of sleep, foggy mindedness, total lack of motivation and almost all the other side effects posted | thought i was the only one until i found this site god bless you all.i hate this crap and all its side effects but am told i have to keep taking it for ever by my doctor who also makes a fortune running the coumadin clinic.what is it like having your eyes cross doing 65 in the passing lane during rush hour ???i hope u never have to experience it.i have watched the same people in my clinic change into oompaloompas and pillsbury dough boys and most have developed the same painful hobble and yet i'm told by all the professional drug dealers it's my imagination. was also told by doctor not to try naural thinners too unpredictable but i'm not giving up!!! | M | 59 | 6 years 15mg 1X day | 3/14/2011 | 2 | 27 pe in my lungs | I'm tired. I hurt. I have migraines. I've gained weight. Thinned my hair. I'm not me. I'm tired of saying no salad please, and family worrying I'm gonna have a clot so big it blocks my heart and kills me!

Headaches, never ending headaches, upset stomach after taking it, blood in urine, dry skin that no lotion or creme can relieve and now looks old and gross, exhausted, weight gain, bruising, red eyes, over all feel unwell and foggy headed, concentration is nill, no motivation, something under my ribs is swollen and painful especially the right side, and I've had painful contusions that had to be checked for blood clots. | Wish there was a way to fix my heart for sure and get me off these meds. It is interfering with my ability to do a good job at work. I need my memory, concentration, motivation, the weight off, and my life back. This is not living. | F | 56 | 20 months 9mg & 12mg 1X day | 3/7/2011 |
