| 4 | Pulmonary embolism | Extreme fatigue (I'm exhausted all the time!) hair loss, and the interaction with my other medications is causing me to get frequent headaches/migraines | After much trial and error to get the right dosage, I'm now taking 7.5mg 4 days a week and 11.25mg the other 3 days each week. I am two months into a six-month course of Coumadin and cannot wait to be off this medication. I'm so tired of the side effects and having to watch my diet so carefully. However, my heart rate is slowly decreasing, so I know that the Coumadin is doing it's job and that my body is breaking down the blood clot. | F | 34 | 2 months 7.5mg 1X day | 6/21/2013 | 1 | dvt | tingling in head heavy head pains in head and neck hot burning sensations all over especially in legs and arms and face deppression dizziness chills loss of appetite | doctor keeps telling me its not the medicine but i dissagree didnt have this before medicine i just keep praying it will all heal well and i can get off it in 6 mos like they say and actually i am on warfarin | 42 | 1 months 5 mg 1X day | 4/28/2013 | 1 | DVT (right leg) | While taking coumadin I experienced mood changes, my body is always very sore, my feet and hands are always ice cold, I also have trouble sleeping, but when I do get to sleep it is hard for me to wake me up. | F | 21 | 2 years 7.5 | 3/27/2013 | 3 | DVT/PE | On Warfarin for 2 year - just switched to Xeralto. All those side effects disappeared almost over night. Headaches, achiness in legs, always feeling disconnected from my body. I feel relieved to be off Warfarin. With Xeralto I do not have to watch my vitamin K. | M | 45 | 2 years 2.5 & 4 mg 1X day | 3/22/2013 | 3 | P.E, Lupus Anticoagulant | Not sure if the hair loss was from Coumadin, memory loss, eye pain, pissed that I can no longer eat whats natural (vitamin k) makes no sense to me so I'm researching natural ways... | F | 32 | 1 years 9 MG | 3/20/2013 | 4 | Pulmonary embolism surgery | Hair loss after 3 months | Glad to get the okay to stop! | F | 52 | 4 months 10 mg 1X day | 3/19/2013 | 5 | I had no side effects, the drug was amazing. The lower body pain I was experiencing, started long before the large left leg DVT , that caused terrible pain, was diagnosed. The first thing I noticed was my breathing improved, then the swelling in my face began to go away, people who had not seen me in a while, would do a double take, and say wow is that you? You don't even look like the same person. then slowly the pain in my lower body began to resolve, until around 3-5 months at which point the pain was gone completely, amazing not possible I thought. Then it got even more amazing, For the first time in years, my husband said to me slow down, you are walking to fast, I had not even realized how strong my lower body muscles had become. At one year the doctors decided to take me off the coumiadin because the DVT had resolved, my doctor said he would leave it up to me, weather I wanted to stop taking coumadin. I thought well since the DVT is resolved I should not have the same problems | F | 47 | 1 years 1X day | 3/12/2013 | 5 | DVT left calf, Multiple PE | Dry skin (breaking out a bit) stomach pains (full/bloated), heaviness or tightness in chest, tingly sensations, fatigued more easily, slight weight gain | F | 29 | 3 months 2mg, 2.5mg 1X day | 3/6/2013 | 3 | dvt in groin too knee | I'm going through the numbness hotness and stiffness so stressful on warfain didn't realise it could effect whole body, | F | 37 | 6 months 2.5-3mg | 3/5/2013 | 3 | DVT 2x Factor V, Protein S Defici | Headaches, vertigo, fatigue | I have been complaining of headaches for years while on coumadin and both my hemotologist and Primary tell me it's IMPOSSIBLE to be caused by med. Also my INR has been a horror to regulate. | F | 29 | 4 years 15 1X day | 2/20/2013 | 3 | DVT in my right leg from taking Yaz | Fatigue, memory loss, dizziness, bruising, headaches.. In general I am not the same person I was before. I can no longer work in the field I was in for 24 years. I was in the Meat packing industry, but my doctor advised me to leave my job due to the medication and my usage of knives. | After taking Coumadin and knowing how it makes me feel, I could never do my job as a Meat cutter again, I do not have the energy or the strength anymore. I have shortness of breath as well and I never had that prior to taking this drug.. | F | 47 | 7 years 7.5mg 1X day | 2/11/2013 | 4 | Saddle embolism after broken bone | I feel tired all the time, slightest activity leaves me short of breath, headaches most days and generally feel aches and pains. | I know that I am lucky to have survived and try to think positively.

My Hemotologist still tries to tell me that my symptoms are all in my head and the meds couldn't possibly be responsible. UGH!!!! | F | 33 | 2 years 10mg 1X day | 1/7/2013 | 2 | DVT | extreme fatigue, light-headedness, bruising | I have to wait one more month (6 months on Coumadin) to get a scan to see if my DVT has shrunk.

I have never felt so awful. I have no energy at all. I still work a full time job and love t. Prior to surgery, I was always "on the go" doing so many things.....now, my life has changed.....it's terrible. I think, at times, that I would have been better off w/o the surgery....at least I had a life. | F | 69 | 10 months 9 mg 1X day | 9/2/2012 |
