| 4 | PE | A week after having a heart procedure I had a PE. Now a month later I feel better but will take coumadin for 5 more months. I broke out in a rash which the docs attribute to the taking of heparin,lovenox and coumadin all at once. Thankfully that went away. I am grateful to all the posters who commented about anxiety and wondered if it was the meds or a reaction to the stress of having the condition.That made me feel a bit more normal.Thanks:) Most of my side effects are limited to nose bleeds, gum bleeding and easy bruising. Also I am occasionally overwhelmed with sudden fatigue. | So far my levels have stayed between 2 and 3 without adjusting a thing. After reading this board I see how fortuante I am and hope it continues. I never knew until this experience that coumadin does nothing for the clots you already have, it just prevents more from forming. | F | 44 | 1 months | 4/8/2007 | 4 | TIAs | Bothered by very bad taste in mouth most of the time and nausea sometimes, especially after eating a lot of dairy foods. Would like to hear from anyone experiencing these side effects. | M | 66 | 1 months | 12/1/2006 | 4 | clots after chemo for bowel cancer | hairloss, numbness and tingling in feet and hands. Finger tips extremely sensitive to heat. This drug is exacerbatiung the peripheral neuropathy brought on by oxaliplatin (chemo). | I'm glad I'm only on this drug for 6 months | F | 59 | 1 months | 11/6/2006 | 4 | Post Surgery DVT 2 x clots in calf | Easily tired, stomach bloating, bruising | Taking a bit of time to get a regular reading, been on 2 x clexane injections per day as well as 7mg daily of coumadin. As dumb as it sounds finding the DVT probably saved my life. It seems i have a blood anomolie which is producing too many cogaulents. Whilst i may be on the meds for life, i probably won't have a stroke in the next 10 years. | F | 40 | 1 months | 6/22/2007 | 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 | 7/25/2005 | 4 | TIAs | Bothered by very bad taste in mouth most of the time and nausea sometimes, especially after eating a lot of dairy foods. Would like to hear from anyone experiencing these side effects. | M | 66 | 1 months | 12/1/2006 | 4 | DVT left leg & PE right lung | Initially I had heart burn and some mild body aches with bruising in areas where Lovinox injections were required during "bridging" to Coumadin and adjusting dosage. | 5.5mg daily seems to have me around 2.6 where Doctor wants me to stay on it for six months. This stuff seems to be doing the job and side effects gone except for ocassional mild headache. So far the mental part of dealing is the hardest. Thank God for modern medicine. I am happy to be able to post... | M | 45 | 1 months | 9/6/2009 | 4 | cerebral sinus thrombosis | Colder than usual but extremely thankful for this med. | F | 45 | 1 months 9.5 mg dai | 2/27/2014 | 4 | PE after c-section | Fatigue, low libido, no appetite | I am new to this drug...only have been on it for about one month. I had to PE go into my pulmonary artery right after delivery of my twins via c-section. I coded, and they had to do open heart surgery to remove a 6.5 inch clot from my heart. I don't know if all these side effects are from the Coumadin, Oxycontin, or the surgery...or from being a mom of twins...LOL...but I am noticing people are complaining of weight gain. What is the average gain? I am wanting to lose weight as soon as the doctor ok's it, even though I only gained 17 pounds while pregnant. Are there more effects with higher dosages? I was just increased to 4mg because my PT-INR was 1.7 earlier this week. Also, I have completely stopped eating a lot of leafy greens that I love because it was easier to quit than to try and regulate having the same amount of Vitamin K every day. Anyone have any advice on a good balanced diet? One of my favorite drinks is Naked's Greed Machine, which is full of green veggies...an | F | 27 | 1 months | 4/30/2008 | 4 | Dvt | Fatigue , pain , sleepless nights change in mood etc | Everybody is different and before I started this drug I didn't have any of these symptoms .

I live in the mid-west and am used to cold winters, now I can't walk my dog 1 block with out my fingers feeling frozen and in agonizing pain.

And from what i'm reading I'm not the only one that feels that way. Was so happy to find this site and see that there are a lot of people with the same feeling and symptoms. Also was sirprised that a lot of you had the same reaction from your doctors. Mind kinda blow me off when I told him about my side affect. If your on the stuff good luck. | M | 44 | 1 months | 9/21/2009 | 3 | Multiple BiLateral Pulmonary Emboli | Constant head aches, lower back pain, mild depression, slight loss of alertness (feeling "not all there"), bruising, bloody nose, dry skin, shorness of breath (clot related) | I'm SO very happy to have found this. When I discuss my recent side effects, they tell me they are not related to coumadin. I NEVER had headaches before taking coumadin. I have had a headach EVERY DAY since leaving the hospital. The lower back pain is enough to make me cry in agony and no amount of Tylenol helps. I can't take aleve or Ibuprophen because my INR level goal is very high (4.0) and I've already had pulmonary bleeding. I REALLY REALLY hope this isn't permanent because after just one month I can't take it. I'm glad this medicine is saving my life but the side effects are getting worse. Thanks for this site, Its good to see other young people on this drug too. Look forward to hopefully setting up some kind of talk group. I do web-design so Im thinking of setting up a message forum (if there isn't already one). Please e-mail me if you are interested in the forum for discussing your life and how you have adjusted or are coping... | M | 23 | 1 months | 11/10/2009 | 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 | 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.
