| 3 | Atrial Fib | Hair loss, itchy sensitive scalp, decreased sex drive, bit of weight gain | Dr. doesn't think scalp itch is from drug and I don't see many people with this side effect on board but I know it started right after he put me on it. I've switched shampoos to see if any difference and am using something from dermatolgist but it still persists and I swear it has to be from this drug. | M | 45 | 9 months | 9/16/2006 | 3 | vasculitis, blood clotting | I've been having these awful headaches. I already have a history of migrains, but these are just insane. Also more swelling of the joints (and since I already have Lupus, it's 10 times worse) and even lip swelling. Does anyone else get numb swollen lips out of nowhere, moving up into the top of your lip, base of your nose? I've also been extra emotional, having near anxiety attacks and sometimes very depressing thoughts. Almost mistook this stuff for Prednisone (it's an awful steroid for Lupus) even though it's a baby version in symptoms. Not very hungry, already was cold, but now, even colder. Feel really spaced out if I don't have a good enough breakfast and if I don't have my Vit. K the same time every day. | I am thankful that it's keeping me alive. Had a couple heart attacks 5 years ago because of the Lupus and Blood clots and just recently had clotting in my spleen that took chunks out of it. Docs want me on it for the long run since if I don't, I'll most likely get clots else where. Of course I can't afford to have chunks taken out anywhere else, but it's pretty sucky since I'm young. Going back on disibility since my Lupus is getting worse. Anyone else have experience with Lupus and heart stuff. I have to start taking some other Lupus meds that are just as bad as Predisone. I don't know how that will effect my coumadin, but hey, it's all in the name of keeping me alive. Tried to cleanse myself of all this toxic medicine, but it only worked so much. Docs told me if I didn't do it their way, I wouldn't see 30. Nice, huh? Good thing I'm pretty spunky. Keeps my head above the water. Either way, I'd like to talk to folks about things. The Coumadin, if they are dealing with Lupus and how the | F | 22 | 2 weeks | 9/11/2006 | 3 | Factor V, Superficial Thrombosis | on like, 7.5 mgs a day, Noticed a little irratability, headaches, Depression, Feeling Very tired all the time, but unable to sleep. Having probelems getting comfortable in my own bed. Some Of these may be caused by other meds too, Currently on Lovenox, to thin blood as well, and Vicodin for pain. | Rough Side effects, and still no stable INR.. take the good with the bad. | M | 23 | 1 months | 8/17/2006 | 3 | clots in lungs | Coldness, dry mouth, lots of bruising, maybe sexual problems, maybe problems sleeping. | I take it because I'm scared of having more blood clots. | M | 43 | 5 months | 8/10/2006 | 3 | 4 pulmonary emboli | Tightness in sides of head and in neck. Worsens as day progresses. Now taking 7 1/2 mg., various dosages over past 2 months. Hate not feeling like myself, but guess drug necessary. Curious if others experience this neck tightness. | F | 64 | 2 days | 7/7/2006 | 3 | DVT - arm | I was initially diagnosed with a DVT in my arm, admitted on Heparin, then Lovonox injections ( which made me feel 'loopy' - dizzy and confused). No side effects from Coumadin initially, 2 months into started getting dizziness and foggyness. | Some days I'm dizzy, some days I'm not. The Lovonox REALLY made me dizzy. Seems that fatigue and hydration may play a role as to when I feel dizzy. Also live at high altitude. I will only be on the Coumadin another couple of weeks - as they have no explanation for why I had a clot - lots of tests, all within normal limits. | F | 45 | 3 months | 6/27/2006 | 3 | Minor PE Right Lung | Fatigue, Lightheaded, headaches, darker skin, joint pain ( elbows and knees) rash, watery eyes. | My doctors in Boston are considering taking me off since my V Leiden looks OK. Anti-Cardio Lipin is elevated...I am told this may be from the medication itself. I know there are obvious benefits, but the side effects seem to be taking a toll on me. I used to run 2 miles a day, never smoked or drank. I am always tired. Chad | M | 47 | 3 months | 6/23/2006 | 3 | blood clot in lung and neck | Tired, tenderness of skin, brusing, foggy, body is very ache | F | 26 | 3 weeks | 6/19/2006 | 3 | blood clot | Losing hair in big clumps, always cold, tingling and achy muscles, extreme bruising, nosebleeds, earbleeds, lightheaded, fainting, weight gain of 15 lbs, pain in the lungs | After the birth of my second child I had a rare complication of a blood clot near my ovary. Started taking coumadin and lovinox shots every day for three weeks. Then I got to stop the shots. The side effects of this drug are now almost worse then the blood clot. With a two year old and a 4 month old child it's hard not to be tired without the added fatigue of this medication. Also, every time I play with my two year old and I get bumped or banged with a toy I get bruises that look like I was in a car wreck. Doctors told me that losing hair wasn't a symptom or weight gain, but judging from the reading of other entries I now think differently. I don't know how long I'll have to be on this, but hopfully not much longer. Three months I'll get a catscan and find out how the clot is doing. Maybe then I can stop taking this drug and start to feel like a person again. | F | 25 | 5 months | 6/6/2006 | 3 | DVT right calf | Hair loss, fatigue, shortness of breath, weight gain (20 lbs.), loss of sexual drive, feeling cold. | This condition happened three days after I had knee surgery. Is regular blood tests necessary to adjust for medication? I've had PT's for the first month only. Doctor doesn't think it is necessary at this point ( into my 5th month). I continue to have swelling in my calf and ankle areas, especially at my sock line. Doctor also thinks that I will be able to get off it next month. Is it typical to have an ultra-sound to determine if the clot has dissipated? Please respond with your opinions. | M | 46 | 5 months | 5/31/2006 | 3 | Stroke, Post-partum | dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, areas of numbness (usually in extremities or face), severe bruising, hair loss, sores in/on nose, nausea..........heaviest onset of symptoms seems to be during and following menstrual cycles..........Overall, just don't feel right, which is very frustrating, making it impossible to explain. | I am so tired of doctors telling me there are no side-effects to this drug--especially after finding that others taking Coumadin are experiencing the same symptoms. I would much rather the doctors have warned me of these symptoms, or at least given me affirmation when I presented them, instead of making me feel like I'm a hypochondriac. Knowing (or believing) that my symptoms are side-effects of the drug is so much more comforting than worrying that perhaps something yet to be diagnosed is seriously wrong. | F | 27 | 3 months | 5/16/2006 | 3 | upper DVT (near shoulder) | headache accompanied by sweet/metallic taste (headache for 3 wks. so far) | I alternate between 7.5 and 5.0 mg daily | F | 38 | 3 months | 5/10/2006 | 3 | Blood Hypercoagulates (Genetic) | Anxiety, Chills, Headaches, Depression and skin rashes. Dr. says unrelated but I never had any of these symptoms before starting medicine. | Have a hard time regulating my PT/INR. Currently on 10.5mg, highest dose yet. | M | 46 | 12 months | 5/2/2006 | 3 | DVT | Headache, bleeding gums, red eyes, fatigue, weight gain, strange dreams, depression, thin nails, bruising, cold all the time, hair loss (even with thyroid supplement) | I also have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. Tylenol just doesn't cut it for the pain, especially with the weather changes. What am I supposed to do? | F | 58 | 20 days | 3/27/2006 | 3 | 3 PE's | Tired all the time-hot-night sweats-anyone else-trying to look up side effects (not very specific)-has anyone tried that-Gold of pleasure (wild flax) oil found info at siberiantigernaturals.com | M | 55 | 3 years | 3/20/2006 | 3 | PE | Unable to clear my head, tired, low energy, cold hands and feet, awaken easily at night. | Symptoms first arose at night in the hospital. Told by Drs that coumadin does not cause these side effects. Evaluated for other causes of side effects during hospital stay(two echocardiograms, holter monitor, numerous blood tests, abdominal CT etc.). Every test came back well within normal range, but effects persist. | F | 42 | 14 days | 3/14/2006 | 3 | Bilateral pulmonary emboli | Cold hands/feet and general intolerance of cold. I've always run a little on the cold side, but it's really starting to drive me nuts. Plus the usual bruising. I've fallen hard on my knees twice since I started taking it, and the first time they were sore for a good 6 weeks afterward. Heavy periods. | They they the PE was caused by BC (there's another side effect report to make, eh?). I only have to be on the Coumadin for 6 months, and I can't wait to get off (4 mos to go!) The DR has been s-l-o-w-l-y upping my dosage since I started 2 months ago, and my INR isn't any higher than when I started--1.6. I currently take 7.5 mg 4 days/wk and 5 mg 3 days/wk. | F | 37 | 2 months | 3/9/2006 | 3 | APS,MTHFR.Protein S deff. | Hair loss,headache,I cant lose weight,ditzy,tired. I have to be on it for life.taking 10 mg mon-fri. and then 11mg sat & Sun. I want to find a way not to take this drug. With three blood disorders it is hard. The Dr. wants me to be thin I just had a baby 8 weeks ago and need to lose the weight . What does everyone do for birth control? Please e-mail me any suggestions with the weight thing...... | F | 35 | 7 weeks | 3/8/2006 | 3 | Factor V Leiden /strokes | fatigue, weight gain, when cold hard to get warm, but hot most of the time | F | 51 | 4 years | 1/7/2006 | 3 | 2 strokes | headaches, weight gain, swelling, tired | F | 43 | 4 months | 12/29/2005 | 3 | DVT calf area | mild and severe headaches and loss sex drive. Increase in weight, but think it is due to inactivity. | Great to find this site. Been looking to see if I am the only one w/ loss of sex drive. Feel better to see others have headaches as well. Doc said coumadin will not cause headaches. | F | 41 | 3 months | 12/26/2005 | 3 | DVT | Initially, for about the first three years my extremities were very cold. Now, I do not have that effect. However, I can say that I have suffered bouts of anxiety/depression over the years from coumadin. My doctor would always say that it was all in my mind. Recently, I have seen a different doctor that explained that there is a link between coumadin and anxiety/depression. He has placed me on an anti anxiety drug. I think it is somewhat working. | Coumadin is a very strong drug, and other people need to be educated about it. | M | 36 | 19 years | 10/25/2005 | 3 | PE - multiple clots in both lungs | No major side effects except I'm sensitive to cold. Could be just the changing season, but no one else in my house seems bothered, and I'm freezing! | INR has been pretty stable. If it's high, my MD just has me skip a day now. Not sure if that's typical, but it seems to work. | F | 42 | 3 months | 10/23/2005 | 3 | DVT in right leg | Lack of energy, slight weight gain, gas, severe headaches, brain feels foggy - difficulty concentrating and remembering | I've been on it for 30 days and my levels haven't stabilized yet. So glad to find others with my symptoms. I have scheduled an apt. with a hematologist because my DR. doesn't seem to know too much about DVTs or coumadin | F | 37 | 30 days | 10/17/2005 | 3 | PE | - MASSIVE hair loss (yes, I counted one morning over 1000!!!) - Weight gain - 10 lbs in 4 months and I only eat about 1200 calories a day and never junk food, bread, etc. - Depression - Either too tired or can't sleep or both! | I would probably be dead without it, but sometimes I feel so depressed, and my hair loss is so obvious that I wonder if it's worth it. The "specialist" prescribed the birth control pill as HRT - 3 months later I was in the hospital with a massive PE. | F | 50 | 4 months | 10/4/2005 | 3 | DVT | I have gain weight, about 15 pounds since May, and I can't loss it. Also, my hands and feet are usually very cold. | F | 34 | 130 days | 9/21/2005 | 3 | budd chiari syndrome | i get cold easily and have awful heavy periods that last longer than normal | I had this rare disease that clotted my vein to my liver and caused me to have liver disease which led to me having a liver transplant. I am ok now and the disease is gone , but they don't know how this happened and though rare it could reoccur , so now i have to take coumadin lifelong. The thing that bothers me is the heavy periods if anyone has had this problem please contact me. i want to know if there is anything that i can do or take to make it more normal. | F | 25 | 2 years | 9/21/2005 | 3 | Stroke | Severe headaches, trouble with cold feeling in hands and feet, some weight gain and fatigue but that can be residuals from the stroke. | My major concern is the headaches. Their severity leaves me exhausted for at least 24 hours after. Does anyone know of ANY pain reliever (besides Tylenol which does nothing) that can be safely taken? If so feel free to e-mail. | M | 37 | 7 months | 9/5/2005 | 3 | PE in both lungs | Thank you God! I found this site when experienceing fatigue, unable to sleep, light headedness, stomach upset, bruising, etc and being told by my doctor that there is nothing wrong with me, I'm just depressed and full of anxiety. I was told there are no drug side effects. Of course there will be some depression caused by serious health issues. This is after only 2 office visits. I'm fighting for RESPECT. | How many people actually ever get off this drug??? | F | 54 | 2 months | 8/17/2005 | 3 | DVT | Hair loss, weight gain, feet turn blue, excessive sweating, chills become noticable if air temperature drops to 72 degrees F. | Wish there was a better oral blood thinner than this, because aside from the side effects, there's a long list of drugs and foods that can increase or decrease coumadin's ability to thin the blood. Maybe at some point AstraZeneca's blood thinner | M | 44 | 4 years | 8/13/2005 | 3 | Paget Schroetter Syndrome | I've had a headache since taking this and was told by my doctor that I'm making it up (nice huh?). Recently I've gained weight, which is strange because as soon as I learned of my impending surgery, I began eating healthier and increased my exercise routine. It's reassuring that I'm not the only one feeling this way! | This drug is helping me, but has way too many side effects and limitations. | F | 26 | 2 months | 8/11/2005 | 3 | blood clots | dizziness | M | 58 | 2 months | 6/27/2005 | 3 | blood clots lower left leg | ill,tired mostly for about week during my peirod. I just want to sleep during this time and feel terrible. | F | 45 | 4 months | 6/8/2005 | 3 | DVT/PE | Feeling cold but that got better with time, to a point. Thirst or sore throat with higher doses, 15 mg/day. Some weight gain and swelling in the face/eyes. Difficulity sleeping at higher doses. Makes you feel fuzzy or in need of coffee to stay sharp and alert but coffee doesn't help the fuzzy feeling. | No problems with bruising so far. No hair loss that I can tell. VERY difficult to regulate, I bounce from .8 to 2.6 to 1.2 to 3.6, it's never right. Can't take any pain medicines that actually work and tylenol is a poor pain reliever at best and really toxic to boot. I can't really think of anything good to say about Coumadin at this point in time. | M | 36 | 5 months | 6/1/2005 | 3 | dvt lower right leg/due to chemo | headaches, have been her largest complaint. She has been on average dose of 7.5mg to 5 mg per day. Since Jan. 05 | Just got a pt/inr home analyzer. Just looking for some other self test folks to relate to. They are telling my wife she could be on this for at least 3 more years. There is no way my wife is going to go to some clinic bi-weekly for her pt/inr for the next 3 years. I do know my wife pretty well after all she has gone thru from her battle with cancer. So we got a in home test analyzer and the Dr. is willing to let us call in the results and then he will prescibe the amount of Coumadin for the week. | F | 42 | 5 months | 5/30/2005 | 3 | Stroke/Vertebral Artery Dissection | Slight light-headedness often (not major but simply annoying as I just don't feel right), hard focusing at times, bloating, loss of appetite at times, occassional shortness of breath (although might be from me worrying). | Seems to be pretty unstable in effects. Started taking 6mg/day. Originally it was keeping me at 2.5 (Protime). Then within one week, with no lifestyle changes, it dropped to 1.9 and caused TIAs. Two days ago it was boosted up to 8mg/day which has brought about the mentioned side effects. Are these normal for the higher dose or will they go away. My doctor seems to be unsure of a lot of the side effects as it is such an individual reaction. (So it helped somewhat, but still not very comfortable with it.) | M | 34 | 6 weeks | 3/11/2005 | 3 | LUNG EMBOLISMS THROWN | IF A DRUG IS UNSTABLE AS COUMADIN IS, THE PATRIENT BECOMES THE SAME WAY. FEAR, ANXIETY, LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ALL CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS AS WELL AS THE DRUG. EXHAUSTION IS EITHER FROM THE DRUG OR WORRY. DRS ARE LACKING IN THEIR EXPLANATIONS. WHAT'S NEW???? | TOO UNSTABLE. NO REAL REASONS FOR THE FLUCTUATIONS IN THIS DRUG PROVIDING THAT THE PATIENT IS FOLLOWING THE RULES AS I AM. FEELS LIKE HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW. | M | 62 | 2 months | 2/4/2005 | 3 | Spleenic Infarcts | A little bleeding when I brush my teeth. A bit cold, but I live in New England, and was borned in a very tropical city in South America, so maybe it's not the drug that's the problem. Biggest problem with this medicine is that it constantly remains me of my mortality. Not that I though I was inmortal before. I do recomend to try to spend more time with family and friends. I feel fine, the effect is mostly fear of getting a complication. | I still do not know why I developed the spleenic infarcts, all my blood work came back negative. My doctor recommended life long treatment. It's hard to think about a life-time of coumidan. I'm trying to take it one day at a time. I can't complain, had this happened to me in my country, I would have been in big trouble. | M | 32 | 6 months | 12/12/2004 | 3 | Aortic Valve Replacement | Where should I start? Migrane headaches, difficulty swallowing/having to clear my throat constantly, fatigue, numbness of the skin on my hands/extremities, and severe PUFFY EYES! | I take it only because I have to. Since I have so many side affects I'm also worried about jaundice/liver damage | M | 37 | 3 years | 10/19/2004 | 3 | DVT | I'm getting headaches is this normal... and light sensitivity - blood in my nose when i blow my nose now and i bruise easily | this drug scares me b/c i'm afraid if somthing happened i wouldn't be able to clot properly | F | 28 | 1 months | 10/15/2004 | 3 | DVT (3 times)/IVC filter placement | Fatigue, difficulty regulating temperature (either too hot or too cold), mood swings, weight gain, frequent headaches. | I have had to have INR checks weekly for the past 3 years because I can't stay regulated. My target range is 3 to 3.5 and it fluctuates wildly, even though I only alternate 2 and 2.5 mg. Sometimes I just say | F | 36 | 5 years | 10/4/2004 | 3 | DVT (3 times)/IVC filter placement | Fatigue, difficulty regulating temperature (either too hot or too cold), mood swings, weight gain, frequent headaches. | I have had to have INR checks weekly for the past 3 years because I can't stay regulated. My target range is 3 to 3.5 and it fluctuates wildly, even though I only alternate 2 and 2.5 mg. | F | 36 | 5 years | 10/4/2004 | 3 | artificial heart valve | INR levels for past 4 years have been fairly consistent. INR level recommended 2.5-3.5. Wildly fluctuating levels past two months. Wednesday 5.6 discontinued drug for 2 days level 1.9. Next test 5.2 after two days 2.1. Have any others experienced fluctuations? | Constantly feel chilled. Comfort range 70F to 85F. | F | 64 | 4 days | 9/7/2003 | 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 am sceptical as I still have pain in the area of the clot. | F | 66 | 5 months 2.5 - 5 mg 1X D | 12/17/2012 | 2 | Blood clot in left leg | Bloating, joint pain, weight gain. | It does not allow me to take my regular medication for arthritis. | M | 52 | 3 months 5mg 1X D | 8/21/2012 | 2 | DVT LEFT INNER THIGH/ LARGE | Fatigue is extreme. In the beginning, until just recently (1-2 wks ago) I felt nausea. My endurance is poor and my Drs. have still not been able to achieve a theraputic dose w/out sending my INR to 5.0. Skin heals extremely slowly. I dont like this drug BUT my clot has reduced by abt 45%. | F | 52 | 6 months From 5-15 | 8/8/2012 | 2 | DVT & PE | Freezing all the time, weight gain, heavy periods, fatigue | Was in the hospital for 2 weeks on heparin, 10 mg coumadin and receiving shots in my belly twice a day. In those 2 weeks, I put 9 lbs on. I've taken one lb off since my release. There has been no change in diet or exercise to explain this. The fatigue has gotten better, but I am still not my old self. My DVT & PE are unexplained and looks like there is no end in sight for this med as my INR goes up & down so often. I can be at 2.0 on a Monday, 3.9 Friday and 1.2 a few days later on Monday again. I'm so over it all!! | F | 35 | 6 months 10 1X D | 7/19/2012 | 2 | left leg DVT with massive bi-lat PE | Horrible! 152 at Christmas in Dec 2011 DVT & PE Feb 2012 ---left hospital at 170 after 9 days on Warfarin (Coumadin) after 8 days requesting salads, fish, fruit. Upon being home, ALL I want to eat are salads, steamed vegetables, salmon, peaches. Went from 5 cups coder day to ZERO! Now, drinking ice water. Now it is June 2012---187 lbs!!! Diarrhea; forehead/hairline hair loss; weight gain all in my stomach area; loss appetite; increased depression; fatigue; lethargy; etc! Have suffered with Major Depression since 20---am now 48 years old, 2 teenaged daughters, a fantastic & supportive husband and cannot believe what this DRUG has done to me---as much as I certainly appreciate that it has kept me alive, I wish the Warfarin/Ciunadin Drug Companies would come CLEAN with the REAL side effects---especially for women in 40's and early/mid 50's! The physicians say "no correlation with this sudden mid-section weight gain! You MUST JUST be eating a lot!" I have 1/10th appetite I USED to jave befor the DVT/PE & when I DO eat, it's veggies, salads (no dressing), fish, water, peaches in natural juices! I am NOT EARING BUSHELS of vegetables/fruit, either! I have no appetite! I'm just praying that I can come off of this HORRIBLE drug---one year as I tested positive for Leiden ago toe V (a generic blood disorder that can thicken your blood & make you prone to leg clots).

Some might also be normal surgical recovery, but I've met other coumadin users with the same problems. Just completed my usage, hope I can improve quickly. | M | 50 | 30 days 3mg 1X D | 12/13/2011 | 2 | 2x multiple pulmonary emboli | At therapeutic doses severe fatigue / feel like I have not slept (although I have)/ irritable/ distracted. | F | 41 | 3 months 17.5mg SID | 11/23/2011 | 2 | DVGT | loss of memory, hair falling out, loss of words, tiredness and sleepyness, loss of motivation | F | 62 | 100 days 4X D | 11/16/2011 | 2 | Pulmonary Embolism | Extreme Fatigue, fogginess, forgetfulness | Since beginning Coumadin I have not been able to complete more than 2 days of work a week because I am so tired that I require 12-14 hours of sleep a day in order to feel "normal" | F | 37 | 45 days 7.5 - 11.5 1X D | 9/21/2011 | 2 | Mechanical valve | I have gained 25 pounds in 18 months, low energy, headaches, bruising, and my gum's sometime bleed when brushing my teeth. Also, decline in vision but I attributed that to being over 40 but now I'm not so sure. | Knowing all medicines have side affects I guess it's better than the alternative (death). If it wasn't for my doctors and there diligent treatment of my Aortic Stenous I wouldn't be alive today so I'm thankful for any treatment they see beneficial. | F | 44 | 18 months 5 mg 1X D | 7/17/2011 | 2 | Recurring DVT in left leg | fogginess, no motivation, severe headaches, achiness and fatigue | F | 27 | 1.5 years 20 1X D | 4/25/2011 | 2 | DVT- Left Leg.

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 D | 4/18/2011 | 2 | root valve replacement | weight gain, thinning hair, tired all the time, brain fog | F | 44 | 1 years 5 mg 1X D | 4/17/2011 |
