| 1 | Cardioversion & 9/14 ablation | Tired lethargic sleepy lack energy | M | 67 | 60 days 5 mg x 2 2X day | 7/23/2021 | 1 | PE | I have fibromyalgia and many of it’s symptoms are the same as some of the side effects of Eliquis so it’s a nasty double header~ headaches, dizziness, muscle weakness, nausea, brain fog, fatigue. | I also have neuropathy ( I do not have diabetes ) and it is much worse on the Eliquis. I know the docs would say it’s not from the Eliquis but I know it is. I will try to stay on this but at my age it’s about quality of life and I won’t live like this…period! | F | 80 | 3 weeks 5mg 2X day | 7/22/2021 | 1 | Blood clot | Extreme weight gain burning in my lower legs and joint pain getting worse tingling throughout my body dizziness and very pale skin and lots of abdominal swelling | F | 42 | 14 days 10 2X day | 7/16/2021 | 1 | Blood clot in arm | Terrible muscle ache joint pain can hardly walk with the pain in joints weight gain 2 stone in 12 months muscle cramps in legs | Terrible drug glad I'm off it gone back on warfarin | F | 58 | 100 days 2.5mg 2X day | 7/15/2021 | 3 | Blood clot in right calf | I first I noticed a burning in my left side of right foot. Now I can barely walk because from my knees down hurt so bad. The burn, hurt, feel hot, there flaky. My both legs feel so heavy too. My vision is not right and my anxiety went from a 3 to a 10. I will be talking to my Dr. because If not I may wind up in a wheelchair and be bed ridden. I also have joint pain. | Hopefully the Dr. can help me. I go next week to see him. | F | 58 | 6 months 5 mg 2X day | 7/9/2021 | 2 | Atrial fibrillation | Fasting blood glucose levels raised 40% on Eliquis. Immediate drop in energy. Retaining water. Anxiety went from a 2 to a 9. Toes are burning. Severe facial flushing. | This is a lifesaving drug and might be ok for people on disability but as a working person these side effects are untenable. | F | 57 | 7 days 5mg 2X day | 7/5/2021 | 1 | Afib | Body aches, lethargic, stomach upset | F | 60 | 3 days 5 2X day | 7/5/2021 | 1 | PE | Terrible bone and muscle pain. I have multiple Osteochondroma. Pain started right after I was put on Eliquis and only where my Osteochondroma are located. Tried other meds and no better so went back to Eliquis. | I have to use a cane because my knees and legs hurt so bad. | F | 71 | 100 days 5mg x2 1X day | 6/22/2021 | 2 | Pulmonary embolism | Hair loss, weight gain, short of breath, no energy, change in vision | I have myself to blame for abusing ibuprofen and aspirin for many years causing an ulcer which bled leading to blood transfusions. I lowered the dose to once a day much to my doctor's dismay. I strongly believe in being in charge of my treatment. I have not touched an aspirin or ibuprofen in over 7 months. My next step will be to be off of eliquis completely. | F | 68 | 7 months 5 mg 2X day | 6/8/2021 | 3 | PE due to birth control | Overall not many side effects. Weight gain and unable to lose. Im very active and been trying different diets to lose weight. Belly always looks bloated. | Hopefully I am able to come off this month and hoping to see weight slowly come off. | F | 40 | 6 months 5mg 2X day | 6/1/2021 | 1 | DVT | Throat tightness and trouble swallowing after taking the pill, headache, bloating, gaining weight, swollen legs and feet and fingers; headache, back pain, depression, muscle pain and spasms, blurry vision, terrible gastric issues. Brain fog. Nausea all the time. Weak arms and legs like there's weights on your body. Generalized feeling like you can't move and function. | I went to ER twice from reactions and I was considered a stroke alert. The doctors never would believe it was the eliquis but I never had these symptoms before the eliquis. I just came off of it yesturday and I'm hoping to start feeling better everyday. This is a deadly drug and I would never take it again. I don't know why doctors won't say the eliquis causes all these side effects. I was reading the comments and realized I'm not crazy. All these people have same side effects | F | 64 | 3 months 5mg 2X day | 5/29/2021 | 4 | Large blood clots in both lungs. | The only side effect I have had is leg muscle weakness, joint pain I especially the hips. Also twitching in leg muscles and weight gain | I really feel like Eliquis saved my life. The Dr thought a long car ride had caused mine. I wish I could get off the blood thinners but I am scared of another blood clot. I may see if my Dr. Will reduce it to 2.5 twice a day and see if side effects are still bothering me. | F | 83 | 4 years 5mg 2X day | 5/28/2021 | 1 | Blood clots in lungs | Headaches, dizziness, fogginess in head. lethargic, always sleepy, weight gain of 30 lbs, looked 6 months pregnant, throat tightness and shortness of breath, severe back aches. | I talked to my doctor and got off of it.

Very very sleepy much of the day. | This is a very unpleasant drug to take. Not one doctor told me about these types side effects and it is very disappointing. The fact that one cannot take NSAIDS to help with pain is ridiculous. Taking Tylenol is like putting a Band-Aid on a broken leg. | F | 61 | 35 days 5 2X day | 4/17/2021 | 2 | OLD undetected DVT right post knee | Increased weight gain of 25-30 lbs with efforts to diet.

I just can't seem to grab the word when trying to recall something and feel like my memory is gone. Lethargic too. I have leg pain due to veins that opened in my legs as a result of having May Thurner that over time will be closed, but it can cause great pain (even wearing compression stockings to help). But my leg pain has gone to a new level and so much worse and I'm thinking it's the Eliquis | F | 44 | 35 days 5mg 2X day | 4/7/2021 | 2 | Stroke..heart attack..FMD | Daily headaches and migraines..
