| 1 | Probable TIA | Much higher glucose, terrible brain fog, total lethargy (Zombie like state), swelling, headache, mild nausea. | My cardiologist told me to replace baby aspirin with Plavix. I'm quitting this miserable drug and going back on 81 mg. of aspirin. | F | 67 | 5 days 75 mg 1X day | 1/17/2016 | 1 | Heart attack with stent | Allergic skin hives/rash. Extreme low energy. Bloating. Blood shot eyes. Very bloody stool and blood leaking from rectum. | Doctor failed to recommend anything for the obvious Allergic reaction issue so I started 24hour Allegra/Claritin on my own. In less than 48 hours noticed dramatic improvement. By day 3 with allergy meds and Plavix I was able to tolerate the drug well with only occasional bouts of stomach upset and less extreme evidence of blood. Cardiologist wants me to continue as long as possible. | M | 58 | 2 years 75 1X day | 12/29/2015 | 1 | 2 stents | Legs feel wooden. Ostropath told me all my leg muscles are tight. Sprained right knee ligament 5 months ago, v sliw healing, left knee joint is now giving trouble. Have been on for one year and have taken myself off it, now take Apirin an Q10 plus Serrapeptase. | F | 70 | 1 days 1X day | 12/12/2015 | 2 | Pipeline Brain Stent | Extremely tired, cough and sore throat. Also taking 325 mg of aspirin. Very scared Dr will insist I continue taking this after my 6th month checkup. | F | 68 | 60 days 75 mg 1X day | 12/4/2015 | 2 | Post TIA attacks | I had 4 TIAs on the same day and was put on Plavix. I was already taking 81 mg aspirin before I had them and the hospital doctor told me to keep taking the aspirin with the Plavix. On my first visit to the neurologist, I was told to stop aspirin because taking with Plavix could cause bleeding in my brain. It seemed I did OK over several months' time except that I also took Clonidine around lunchtime and about 50 minutes later, I am useless. Now I am noticing I'm getting very tired BEFORE I take the Clonidine. My legs and arms feel like weights are tied to them and I cannot think clearly enough to take care of paperwork. Sometimes I get a strange feeling running all over my body after taking Plavix. When it's time for Clonidine, it's a double whammy until late at night. I am also getting bruises and my skin looks like crepe paper. My teeth have discolored over this past year and I can't help but feel it is due to one of these medicines. | My TIAs weren't due to blood clots, but caused my BP shooting up. The neurologist said I would never have the TIAs again if my BP was kept under control, which it is now. Don't really understand why I was put on Plavix, but asked my doctor about going back to aspirin three days ago. She said when I decide to go off of it, to take two 81 mg aspirins for a few days, then go back to one. I am fed up with the life being zapped out of me day after day, so I plan to start back on the aspirin soon. | F | 66 | 1 years 75 mg 1X day | 11/19/2015 | 1 | heart stents | I have acid reflux. After 6 weeks of taking plavix, I got a serious stomach bleed. Had to be rushed to hospital. Informed by doctor to get off plavix. When I had 2 more stents years later, I told the doctor I couldn't take plavix. His answer was: a heart attack or stomach bleed. He told me I had to take plavix. I didn't. Stents are fine. | M | 67 | 6 weeks 30 mg 1X day | 10/28/2015 | 4 | 72 have four stents .no side effect | M | 72 | 1 days 75 mg | 10/11/2015 | 1 | stint | This stuff gave me a seriuos sore throat and runny nose | M | 55 | 1 days 75 mg | 10/10/2015 | 1 | bad palpitations plus thick blood | This stuff has made me really tired and SERIOUSLY depressed also has done nothing to reduce palps. | M | 58 | 6 weeks 75 | 10/1/2015 | 1 | for possible stroke and chest pain | upon and after taking this i've noticed terrible headache,chest pain followed by anxiety and panic.i'm planning to stop using this drug.starting now. | better research for an alternative drug that does not mess with your quality of life. | M | 40 | 5 days 75mg | 9/21/2015 | 1 | tia | hives, burning feeling under skin around mouth nose and chin. headaches bruising even if I'm touched dizziness tired | Told by neurologist to take this for 3 months then aspirin. I'm ready to drop off this med now because these side affects are making me crazy irritable and depressed | F | 62 | 1 months 75mg 1X day | 9/12/2015 | 3 | TIA 4 years ago | Cured all symptoms of the TIA, I was told by my doctor that I would probably be on Plavix for the rest of my life. After 2 years I started having abdominal/bladder area pains only at night. I had ultra sounds, MRI's but nothing showed up. THEN, I was scheduled for some minor surgery and was told to get off Plavix for 6 weeks. After 1 week of being off Plavix, the pains went away ! After the 6 week period, I went back on Plavix and the pains started after 1 week. My doctors and surgeon did not know of any side affects like this, but I am taking myself off this drug and I will start an aspiring regimen | If you have any pain on the right side of your bladder while lying down, these are the same symptoms I have and I would like to hear about it !! | M | 61 | 4 years 75mg 1X day | 8/28/2015 | 2 | because of a stent a year ago | shortness of breath,dizzyness always tired,confused ,light headed,anxiety.bleeding | I had a stent last aug /2014 I was put on effient and baby asprin once a day just this month the dr switched me to Plavix don't no why he just said it was cheeper I think he's afraid to take me off cause I think I had a mild stroke or the stent is closeing up | M | 48 | 1 months 75mg/daily 1X day | 7/25/2015 | 3 | 3 stents | tired difficulty sleeping | M | 65 | 6 months 75mg 1X day | 7/24/2015 | 1 | TIA/Stroke | PLEASE READ. This website saved my sanity and quality of life...I will explain. I had a TIA and immediately was placed on plavix. All evidence of my TIA was gone within 48 hours and I felt back to normal. I was told that Plavix is easily tolerated with little to no side effects. After my TIA I spent the next three weeks feeling back to myself but for anxiety after what I had been through. Then...BAMMMMM! CRUSHING, TERRIBLE LIFE ALTERING FATIGUE. I could barely leave the house. When I did I worried I could not safely drive home. This was not "tired"...this was something completely different! I had never felt like this. I contacted my Neurologist and was told fatigue is common in people who have suffered a TIA or stroke. She reassured me it is normal, and not due to any medications. I took her at her word. Then I started to experience tingling in my extremities and my face. Over the next month the quality of my life deteriorated. I went from being an act | PLEASE READ UNDER THE SIDE EFFECTS SECTION. | F | 68 | 2 months 1X day | 7/16/2015 | 1 | stent , drug eluting | Loading dose of 300 mg gave me such headache I felt like vomiting. You want to kill yourself at the thought this could be irreversible. Actually, it is irreversible in the sense that the drug never comes off its target. Off-target information is lacking. On target information is worrying as the receptor is a bit everywhere in your body, including the endothelial epithelium. Are my arteries going to heal better if I get rid of possibly essential dominos? Didn't think so... Anyway, I was given two tablets of panadol and the pain disappeared within the hour. Nobody at the hospital would mention that what I went through was probably a side effect. Surprisingly, I got very little attention at that stage, as if a code of silence prevents talking about these issues. Is that the price to pay to keep the medico-pharma complex running? Small price for the complex; rather large price for many of the patients who take this type of poison. Good thing about the drug is that you are not hungry, so I am loosing weight, which I can afford right now. Having gone through some of the literature, it is not clear why not to stick to aspirin. There is 100 mg of it in my tablet, so let' go to 200 mg per day, and reach a better outcome than current dual platelet therapy. Eat garlic, cut added sugars totally, eat less, exercise much more, and move on with your life. The day after receiving the first shot, I had some memory issues. My urine smells weird. The price of the drug represents a good mot | M | 41 | 5 days 175mg | 5/15/2015 | 3 | To prevent blood clot | Heart beat | F | 68 | 2 months 75 mg | 4/19/2015 | 5 | heart attack...2 stents in may 2014 | SEVERE FATIGUE. Joint and muscle pain and weakness. I just found out I have 4 broken bones in my spinal cord. Also just read an article that plavix makes us 50% more likely to develope osteoporosis. If someone would have told me the risks of taking plavix I would of never took it. I'm only 34 years old and feel like plavix has put a hamper in my life. I had no problems before I was on plavix. And I've read just HORRIBLE things online about plavix...watched a ABC special on plavix...the dangers of plavix!!! Be careful everybody | M | 34 | 1 years 75mg | 4/17/2015 | 1 | 2stents-arteries of abdominal aorta | Exhausted, sleepy, depressed, slight headache, no appetite, weight loss, urinating very frequently causing that to irritate cystitis of my bladder. Also severe brusing, hands, arms, legs. | Not thrilled about Plavix. Surgeon said it would only prevent blood clots 20%. Don't feel it's worth taking for 20%. | F | 67 | 6 weeks 75mg 1X day | 4/11/2015 | 2 | Sticky blood | intense pain behind ears | dunno if its the plavix | F | 55 | 7 days 75 | 3/24/2015 |
