| 4 | high cholesterol level | none | just greeat ! | M | 36 | 30 days 30 1X day | 4/4/2013 | 1 | Heart attack-1 DES stent | "Brain fog", memory impairment, can't find the right words, pressure on the brain, confusion, depression. | After 6 months, I've notified my Drs. I'm getting off the drug. It's been a nightmarish experience. Been off 1 week now. For those who've had similiar side effects, please email me and let me know how long it took for your side effects to subside. | M | 62 | 6 months 75 mg 1X day | 3/4/2013 | 1 | Post ASD closure device implantatio | Headache that feels like a vice slowly closing around my head all day long and lends a feeling of fogginess | F | 44 | 7 days 1X day | 1/10/2013 | 2 | Had a mini stroke caused by PFO | I experienced bronchitis with bronchial spasms, pleurisy, extreme fatigue, muscle pain in back and chest, drop very low in iron and potassium, depression, insomnia, overall weakness! Initially i though these side effects was caused by the recovery process from stroke......researched endlessly to find out plavix caused all these issues for me. Doc has discontinued my using plavix a week and 2 days ago. Prior to mini stroke, very healthy, ran 4mi a day, ate healthy, no issues with hypertension, cholesterol,clogged arteries, just a birth defect (PFO) only took vitamins and supplement. Been off plavix a wk and 2days. Only taking 2 adult aspirin a day. Have follow up with cardiologist in 2days to look at PFO closure implant. This has been a long scary process. Plavix didn't work well for me. Im almost over the my issues with pleurisy, bronchitis, and lowered iron/potassium levels. | M | 36 | 3 months 75mg | 9/23/2012 | 1 | Mild stroke 2011 | Fatigue, very tired legs, tingling right extremities, slurred speech, numb feet, foggy brain, no zest for life, depression. Is anybody else experiencing similar effects? I hope it is the drug so I can go off meds and get my life back. | M | 52 | 1 years 75 mg 1X day | 9/18/2012 Patient History | 4 | medicated stent LAD | I dont feel any different than before my stent, and before plavix. Still have a dull pain in my chest and left shoulder. No further damage or blockage in heart. I do notice somewhat of a decrease in appetite and my diet coke addiction seems to have faded. I was diagnosed with broken blood vessels behind my right eye before my heart condition was discovered and before plavix. I think some of the side effects in other posts are symptoms many would have had anyway. I am hoping it prevents blockage in my stent and future blockages. I also take 325 mg aspirin. | F | 41 | 2 weeks 75 mg | 8/14/2012 | 3 | 2 stents in RCA, 2002 | Light headed ness, wounds that won't heal in my legs, like scratches from a bush etc. Ya know I really don't know anymore what are side effects VS. just a new condition. I do have osteoporosis and believe Plavix contributed to the lack of bone marrow. But for the most part it's well tolerated. I had open heart in 2007 and haven't had problems since. I attribute that to Plavix. And you know what they say...any day above ground is a good one. ALSO, Plavix is an antiplatelet medication that SHOULD not be taken with green tea which is also a blood thinner. | M | 62 | 10 years 75 1X day | 8/12/2012 | 5 | 11 stents | Shoulder pain | M | 60 | 3 years 75mg | 7/26/2012 | 2 | medicated stent | belching,ulcers,sick stomachhave not felt right since went on plavix went on plavix and had a cath the doc said plavix was not working had a stroke cva ended up in critiical care 3 months later had a TIA have not felt right in my chest or stomach since I am having a burning foot and a burning butt dont know why I am not sure to go off plavix or not but My life has changed !!!!!!! | I was told I would have to take it for 1 year now I am to forever I dont think my stomach can take it plus I feel like i am having mini strokes , I have had blood in my urine | F | 52 | 5 years 75 1X day | 7/20/2012 | 4 | Coated heart stent, quad bypass. | Bruising of skin a bit more than usual and seem to bleed a bit more if I get a break in skin. Neither a serious issue. Still regular activity with Biking, golfing, surfing playing with grandkids etc. Doing the generic for 2 months now, seems the same, less $. | M | 60 | 3 years 75mg daily | 7/11/2012 | 5 | Heart Disease,coated heart stent. | No side effects. | So far after 6 months, no problems, I now take the generic 75mg with no side effects. 7-4-2012 | M | 65 | 6 months 75mg 1X day | 7/4/2012 | 1 | for a stent put in leg | Severe chest pain and pressure | F | 60 | 1 weeks 75mg | 6/24/2012 | 3 | MI at age 36 & 42.

I take another 18 perscriptions daily. | I still have vessels with upto 90% blockage. How do you tell if it is working? | M | 42 | 5 years 80 mg 1X day | 6/10/2012 | 1 | heart attack, two stents | seven years or more on this drug. Extremely tired ALL of the time yet have difficulty sleeping. Short term memory loss. Rash. Poor vision. No sex drive. Did I say EXTREMELY TIRED ALL off the time? | My husband passed recently and I am not eligible for medicare for four more years. Plavix did have a patient assistant program for which I was so grateful, as I take five different meds a day. It is very costly and I live on social security. Plavix just sent me a letter saying they will no longer have the assistance program and that I can now go on generic. My cardiologist has already informed me that generic will not work good for me. I cannot afford the expensive plavix, heck, I cant even afford to go to see cardiologist. My pills run out in a couple months. Im doomed. | F | 61 | 75m 1X day | 6/10/2012 | 4 | heart attack, pacemaker | easy brusing, sensitivity to cold | Doctor recently changed me from plavix to 1 adult asparin. I can now wear short sleeved shirts again and am no longer cold all the time. | M | 75 | 6 years 1X day | 6/2/2012 | 4 | Heart stents | Very, very cold-all the time. Bleed easier & longer. | F | 56 | 4 years 30 mg | 5/24/2012 | 4 | Heart Attack 2 stents | tired all the time but can not sleep. | I hope this works. | M | 38 | 26 days 75 mg 1X day | 5/24/2012 | 2 | open heart surgery & stents | Severe dizziness and headaches. | My doctor intended to prescribe Plavix for a year. At this site I noticed that some similar patients only took it for six months. I complained to my doctor and he agreed I could stop. In only 4 days I have recovered and am feeling very well. I actually went outside and did some gardening. | F | 83 | 6 months 1X day | 5/21/2012 | 2 | 3 stents | Lack of sleep, restless, upper back pain, tingling on fingertips | M | 50 | 5 days 75 mg 1X day | 5/19/2012 | 1 | For a heart attack | A right sided stroke from a brain bleed. | F | 54 | 1 days 650 | 5/15/2012 |
