| 2 | PE | Extreme fatigue and depression. My INR got too high and they took me off it for a couple of days. Today is day 3 without Coumadin and my depression is already 100% better. My lower back hurts every day. I'm tired all the time but can't sleep through the night (even on Xanex). My body hurts so bad sometimes that it hurts to lay down. I feel like I'm one big bruise. | I'm 47 years old and just had PE for the first time. They're not sure what caused it so through the process of elimination, they decided to blame it on my Nuvaring (birth control). This site has been so helpful. I haven't discussed my side effects with my doctor yet but thought all these things were in my head. They want me to take it for 6 months but I'm not sure I can deal with it for that long. They want me to be between 2 and 3 but my last 3 readings (which I go in for everyday) have been around 5. It's crazy the way if fluctuates up and down. I'm starting to wonder if they'll ever get it stabilized. I have only been on it for 2 weeks, what are the side effects going to be like in a couple of month. Plus I really do miss my veggies =)Has anybody had side effects after drinking alcohol on this med? | F | 47 | 10 days 3 mg 1X day | 5/28/2010 | 1 | Blood clot | i refuse to be on this poison for anything long term. I can't deal with all the BS that goes with it. | i have NO life taking this crap. It sucks!! | M | 59 | 10 days 5mg | 6/2/2015 | 3 | Pulmonary emboli | Weight gain, all-over joint aches | I was taking birth control pills and developed blood clots in my pelvis which broke off and went to my lungs. Testing found I also have factor V leiden gene. I am supposed to be on Coumadin for 1 year. Wondering what happens after I am taken off the drug. Would like to then switch to daily aspirin. | F | 53 | 11 days | 11/5/2008 | 3 | DVT Right Leg/PE right lung | Slight nausea, anxiety, body aches at night and early am, leg aches on both sides at groin now, initial loss of appetite but it came back, minor headaches usually at night also, a little bloating, stomach upset. | I can't wait for it to be over. Pray a new medication is found for all of us that is better than poison. | F | 43 | 11 days | 9/9/2007 | 1 | Blood clot in left femoral artery | Extreme nausea, dry heaves, exhaustion to the extend that I can barely stand up. Anxiety and depression. Shortness of breath.Chills and headaches, muscle spasms | Doctor says these cannot be side effects. However, I say the drs should have to take this stuff for a week and then maybe they'll change their tune. I need to be on this for at least 3 months, which I know many of you are on this for longer, but the side effects are wicked. | F | 50 | 11 days 5 MG 1X day | 4/4/2010 Patient History | 1 | i had a mech mitral valve in 2000 | stomach promb can not keep level right watch what i eat etc get 1 wk good 2 wks bad pls help i go for bloob evey week | M | 51 | 11 days 7 to 10 1X day | 9/19/2011 | 3 | Multiple PE and clot in left calf | Lower back pain and changes in bowel movements | Only taken Coumadin for 12 days now for multiple PE and clot in left leg due to taking birth control pills for *20 years (tests still being done!). Started with 5 mg in hospital and down to 2.5 mg the past 5 days and numbers are gradually coming back to 2.5 as they were in hospital. Dr. isn't convinced upset stomach is from Coumadin. Has anyone else experienced lower back/joint pain and/or bladder infections from Coumadin? | F | 49 | 12 days | 10/26/2008 | 4 | atrial fibulation | Still dizzy. I bruise very easily. | Is there really an advantage? | M | 49 | 13 days 5 mg 1X day | 5/19/2010 Patient History | 1 | A-Fib | Extreme fatigue, weakness, headaches, swelling of shins down on both legs, upset stomach. Mucsle and joint pain. | Why is it that the medical profession refuses to acknowledge that Coumadin has any side effects? Their claim is "no side effects at all." They refuse to listen to even any possiblities. Can't wait for my hair to start falling out along with some other symptoms mentioned by others.............NOT | F | 67 | 13 days 5mg 1X day | 8/2/2011 | 3 | Bilateral PE | Complete loss of appetite. 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. I was on 60, did 30's for a few days and ended up with symptoms and in the hospital not quite two weeks later. | F | 39 | 14 days 2.5 - 5 1X day | 3/20/2011 | 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 | 1 | Bedridden during hospitalization | Up though 3 weeks post 14 days usage: Swollen backside of tongue (affecting ability to talk), cold sensitive, severe itching, agonizing joint/muscle pain, finger joints had razor blade/glass chard sensations, tremendous fatigue, no grip strength, total body weakness. Taking Coumadin proved to be a gruesome experience. Untill I read this website, I had no clue as to the cause of my suffering and fear. Now, I worry as to how long before these remaining side effects are gone ... | F | 54 | 14 days ? 1X day | 7/11/2010 | 1 | Left leg DVT | BACK PAIN AND JUST TIRED LONG HEAVY PERIODS STOMACHE PAIN | I was on warfarin for seven months the first time. For a DVT in my left leg. It did take the pain away in my leg after twentey days. I am now back on in after a surgery on my left leg. My back doesn't hurt it Hurts. I begged to get off this drug the first time, now I am begging again. I know it's warfarin when I stop taking it everthing goes away! | F | 36 | 14 days 5mg 1X day | 11/5/2014 | 5 | DVT, left leg | The only major side effect? Awful tastes: bad eggs; rotten eggs; sour milk; rotted hide and flesh; constantly tasting these things anytime I salivate, breath checks out OK but tastes are just awful! | M | 31 | 15 days | 11/27/2009 | 2 | Aortic Metal Valve Replacement | Extreme exhaustion, lengthy periods, joint weakness, bruising, excessive bleeding | F | 41 | 15 days 5 1X day | 12/17/2010 | 1 | stroke | hair loss,no energy,brain fog,anxiety | what can I take for hair loss and split nails | F | 63 | 15 days 5 1X day | 1/28/2016 | 4 | DVT/PEs-Factor V Leiden | No major side effects-vivid dreams, painful periods (since I'm now off birth control). Nothing else noted as of yet. | I was having severe all-over pain since August, but no one could tell me why. One day my whole left leg swelled up (from my hip down to me ankle) and turned blue. I went to ER where they discovered I had a extensive clot in my leg, and part of it looks like it broke off and I had PE in both lungs. I had 3 stents put in my leg (in each illiac vein) and was on heparin while in hospital. i developed a clot in my arm where the PICC line was place. genetic testing found Factor V Leiden, which predisposes me to clots. started on coumadin for atleast a year, but possibly for life. Not sure how I feel about that yet, being so young. | F | 23 | 16 days 5 1X day | 10/3/2010 | 3 | DVT Right leg | Shortness of breath and short chest pains. Was directed to go to the emergency again and tell them of the problems as other doctors wanted to rule out clot possibilities. Had blood drawn from wrists and elbow to check level of 02/in them, chest xray reveiled nothing, no CT scan. I was released after 4 hours and given paxcil and lorzapam for anxiety. I still believe the coumadin is causing the breathing problem. Just hope no clots are lingering where they shouldn't be. Forward Hoooooooo | F | 53 | 16 days 5mg 1X day | 11/23/2010 Patient History | 3 | PE Left Lung | I have been feeling like I am in a cloud. I trade stocks and go to school everyday and I am finding it hard to read and focus for long periods of time. I feel like the life has gotten sucked out of me and a feeling of utter hopelessness. I feel like I am in a cloud and cannot break free, my anxiety has always been high and it seems like it is even higher now. | My Doctor keeps telling me that these are not side effects of Coumadin, but I am not on any other medication. I went to the ER after my chest hurt for three days and the clot was discovered, was told I most likely have Factor V and will be on the drug for a while. I just keep thinking I am bleeding in my body and I am becoming a miserable mess to my new wife and everyone around me. I wish there was clarity on how I am suppose to feel and what is going on. | M | 24 | 16 days 10 MG 1X day | 12/26/2010 | 3 | Pulmonary Emboli | Fatigue, nausea, dizziness/lightheadedness, bleeding at the tiniest little scratch, depression worsening, thyroid seems to be getting inflamed(red, swollen neck) and TSH(thyroid lab) is going UP | I am taking Coumadin to combat PEs resulting from Yasmin birth control pills(i was prescribed them to reduce hot flashes, for hormone replacement therapy). I was on Yasmin for less than one month. The coumadin certainly is doing it's job, but I look forward to the day, probably months from now, that I can stop taking this drug, get some energy and normalcy to my life back...oh, and I look forward to eating my salads again. | F | 44 | 16 days 10mg 1X day | 4/25/2010 |
