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  DVT in leg I've felt slightly colder, but it just seems my body takes a little extra while to adjust to colder temperatures. I also feel full all the time. I wouldn't say it is a loss of appetite, but when I start eating, I feel full much faster than ever before. No other side effects. M 28 1 months

 4  DVT 3 times I have had weight gain (20 lbs). I am tired and my periods are awful! I have been more impatient and never thought it could be related to coumadin until I read this web site! Could it really by why? I have never heard of weight gain and mood swings to be related. I would like to hear from you if you have the same symptoms. F 31 3 days

 4  pulmonary aneurism I have experienced a notable increase in either my frequency of dreaming or my ability to recall dreams. Since beginning the medication I am awakened often by midlly disturbing dreams. I dream or recall dreams every night where I once went weeks and weeks withour recalling a dream. M 55 32 days

 4  PE, genetic clotting problems I get cold more often (although my doc says this isn't related) mood swings and slight depression, not sure if it's from the meds or the significance of the medication and the mortality factor. Bruising and when I get a cut, it takes longer to clot now. Added worry with regard to getting pregnant; coumadin causes birth defects so it is unwise to get pregnant while taking it. Also the necessity to watch vitamin K intake (green leafy veggies, oils, etc.) to maintain safe INR levels. F 24 1 years

 4  dvt/pe/ivc filter placement hair loss, loss of appetite and weight, also fatigue Although I am very comforted by the thought of all the benefits coumadin has provided me, I am having a hard time dealing with hair loss. It is also discouraging to me given the fact that I will remain on coumadin lifelong. Please contact me if you have the same side effects. Also does the hair loss continue or will my body adapt to having the coumadin in my system? F 31 1 years

 4  Sinus Venous Thrombosis Tiredness, light dizziness, upset stomach, lack of appetite. All of the symptoms mentioned above do not always persist but rather come and go. If anyone else is suffering from the same side effects, I would appreciate if you contact me via email and share that with me. M 27 2 months

 4  I had DVT when I was 14. longlasting bruising. Especially if I accidently hit my leg or arm to a chair or a table the bruise gets too dark and stays for years. Really I am not exagerating. F 26 12 years

 4  Stroke I am extremly cold now when I'm not excersising. That's the only one I can pick out though. I started it about the same time I started Neurontin (for seizures), so some of the initial side effects may have been confused with neurontin side effects My blood's all normal now, no more blood clots in my brain!

 4  Double Stroke Bruising very easily. Although this drug is great for extending ones life, it alters what life they did have extremely simply because of the side affects. M 36 4 months

 5  DVT and Factor V Thrombophilia Bruising more apparent when bumping into things. Works much better for me than Xarelto which caused anxiety, chest pain, body aches, and mild shortness of breath. Highly advise taking Coumadin over Xarelto. F 48 30 days

 5  recurrent dvt and pe None I had to watch my diet and do blood tests but the routine became easy. I'm very grateful I could cure my clotting issues. I switched to Xarelto for ease and it's been very easy. No side effects from either. M 54 10 years

 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
