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.

Coumadin was the worst drug I have ever encountered. | M | 51 | 2 years 5mg 1X day | 3/26/2011 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 2 | DVT- Left Leg.

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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 1 | pe | rat poison they should take this drug themselfs | M | 48 | 2 weeks 2X day | 5/7/2011 | 4 | mechanical AVR | have gained 20 pounds in 2 years, hair thinning, tired and shortness of breath with exertion. Have noticed increased anxiety - uncertain if this is medication or result of health related circumstances. | Home meter has helped me be more in control of my health care. Would love if Pradaxa could replace coumadin for me. A Fib patients look into that option! | F | 46 | 2 years 10 mg 1X day | 5/9/2011 | 4 | DVT/PE from sports injury | I had some of the strange numbness in the hands that others have described. I gained a bit of weight but I think that had more to do with the period of forced inactivity while my level was being regulated. I bruised fairly regularly from some very minor bumps. I had a few nose bleeds. I bit my cheek and it bleed for hours. I felt tired often and my sleeping habits changed. It was a means to an end. I am off of it now and it cleared out a fairly massive amount of clots in my leg. | I took this initially with 2 x daily injections of Lovenox to reach a therapeutic state sooner. This shortened my hospital stay drastically. However, Lovenox is extremely expensive if you have no insurance or bad insurance and not every pharmacy carries it. | M | 30 | 6 months 6mg-8.5mg 1X day | 5/19/2011 | 4 | Pulmonary Embolism | Slight hair loss (nothing noticable to others), feeling really foggy and forgetful all the time, sluggish, joint pains, increased libido, felt physically worn out. | I had a Pulmonary embolism after having surgery, and was on this medication for exactly 6 months. It took about 3 months to get a stable INR, and at that point I was taking 7.5 mg a day. I did notice more hair loss than normal, but nothing severe. I felt stupid all the time, especially at school, because I just could not remember things and couldn't focus - this improved as soon as I was off the drug. It did not cause me to bruise that much. I did feel very sluggish, and almost like my body was giving out, I just didn't have energy and my joints ached. I actually had increased libido, unlike others have said. Might have to do with the fact I was 21. Periods were the worst side effect, because they were really heavy and after I came off of this drug I found out I was now anemic. Overall my experience on this drug was fine. Given the reason that I was on it is pretty scary, they did their job with managable side effects. | F | 22 | 6 months 7.5 1X day | 5/21/2011 |
