| 2 | Massive MI, not sure why | Memory fog, I have complained from day 1 about the fatigue which is horrible. Leg weakness feels like I'll just fall down, stomach upset, bloating, odd chest pains. | I've always been very fit and work out regularly, had unexplained heart attack and stent. Was thrown a whole list of drugs after stent, quit taking others but the aspirin and the plavix. Horrible bruising and weakness, but Dr. swears it has saved me from further complications. | M | 42 | 1.5 years 75 1X day | 3/3/2015 | 1 | dr. prescribed for a mini stroke!!! | After 25 days, I am scratching all over my body, my eyelashes itch constantly! | Before taking Plavix, I was on an aspirin daily, now I have scratched my skin horribly, it is constant, I am unable to sleep, I am uncomfortable nightly, even my scalp! | F | 49 | 1 days 75 mg | 2/25/2015 | 4 | 4 seperated times for stents | Severe headache, confusion and memory problems, abdominal cramps, blood pockets inside mouth, spontaneous bruising | Every time I have been restented, I start having a different type problem with this drug. This time is the worse and my cardiologist doesn't think it is the plavix. I am stopping it again, and searching for a different cardiologist. | F | 56 | 4 months 75mg | 2/7/2015 | 3 | Stent X 5 | 15 yrs of plavix. Bruising..bleeding..skin covered in brusies..memory loss. | M | 66 | 10 years 75 | 2/5/2015 | 1 | Blood clots in left arm after IV | Bruises all over my body, joint pain, skin feels bruised, tired, cold, very weak. I stopped taking it four days ago and I still feel horrible. I still have the blood clots in my arm | I wish I had never taken it | M | 39 | 21 days 75 1X day | 1/14/2015 | 1 | TIA ON RIGHT SIDE OF BRAIN | Multiple UTI'S, antibiotics did not work while on plavix. Than R Kidney infection. Mass amounts of urine beyond belief. In hosp taken off all meds so antibiotics worked than. But nurse said when ma goes home. Do not give her plavix tonite, we gave it to her this morning. So ma went to bed with no plavix, an next morning no bed full of urine. Durning the day, we went shopping with no piss coming threw her diaper an wheel chair. It was a blessing. Next nite gave ma 75mg plavix. Ma woke up pissed drenched. Pee'd her clothes as usual. We knew it was the plavix. Next nite we tried a 325mg aspirin. Ma pee'd like crazy as well. So we than cut plavix. in half. The peeing has stopped. But Ma use to walk with walker, an is now like rag doll, an I feel plavix is making Ma's legs not work. Her hearing goes on plavix, she gets with drawn. But I'm scared to take her off. But I'm scared to leave her on. Primary Care is affraid to make dicession. Says we have to find Doctor who put her on plavix from hosp when Ma had stroke. | They got tons of Doctors putting ppl on this, but not notified of major problems, an side effects of this drug. Ma's dose was way to high. Blood thinners pull water out of person.. They need qualified stroke Doctors. Goggle has been more helpful than any Dr. Ma will ser neurologist monday. | F | 85 | 10 months 75mg | 1/3/2015 | 5 | heart attacks, 11 stents, bypass | Easy bruising of arms, nicks and bumps cause bleeding. That said, I also take 81mg aspirin, so I'm not sure of the big culprit. | I think, from my own experience, that often people are prescribed beta blockers at the onset of heart issues, some of them very strong such as Coreg that are effective in re-modeling the heart, but are really tough to get used to. At the same time Plavix is usually prescribed, and the blame is passed on to Plavix. I went off Plavix at my insistence a year after triple bypass surgery, I thought I had the problem knocked. BIG mistake, six months later, all the bypasses failed. DON'T go off the drug without talking to your doctor, and if he/she is not responsive, find one that you can talk with and keep an open mind. | M | 73 | 13 years 75 1X day | 12/29/2014 | 1 | Cardiac stent procedure | Feel really sick all of the time; shortness of breath with activity, dizziness, bad dry cough, loss of appetite, food tastes really bad, chest aches, headache, joint pain, chills. | Has angiogram & found 80% blockage. I was put on Plavix right away and immediately started feeling bad. By the time I had the stent procedure 12 days later, I felt terrible. I still feel terrible 2 weeks later and my throat is raw from coughing. | F | 71 | 28 days 75 MG 1X day | 12/16/2014 | 1 | cardiologist | 15th year of plavix..unexplained ruptures of joint ligaments. | M | 66 | 10 years 75mg | 12/13/2014 | 1 | Heart attack, stent placement | Brain fog, chest pain, irregular heart beat, shortness of breath, anxiety, nervousness, irritability, blurred vision, shaking of extremities. | After 7 months of taking this poison, I'm going to stop and just take baby aspirin instead. I've read that there is good evidence that suggest 6 months is long enough to be on Plavix after stent placement. | M | 41 | 7 months 75 MG 1X day | 11/18/2014 | 2 | Plavix prescribed following stents | Back pain and severe weakness in my legs | Problem only severe for the past 3 months | M | 75 | 9 months 75mg | 11/16/2014 | 1 | PCI and 2 stents | After operation 600 mg, thought I will die.
