| 1 | 2 heart stents | Heart palpitations sickness they are killing me with this med feeling like heart stops dizzy passing out poison bad drug | F | 59 | 4 weeks | 5/16/2014 | 5 | Post fitting of 1 stent. | I am taking it with crestor, later with simvastatin. No side effects,ran 3-5 km on treadmill, until last year reduced to 1 km run and 2-3 km walk. 2 years ago climbed Mt Sinai in Egypt. I have been doing physical exercise since 1987 fairly regularly: run, walk, lift weights.However, in 6 years, only 3 little nose bleeds. Also cramps on my hands and feet very occasionally. But plavix is so dear. | I have been taking Plavix (75mg) together with Crestor (10mg) from December 2008 to 2012 and simvastatin (10mg) since. The reason for the change from Cretor to Simvastatin was that Crestor is far too expensive. I never really watch my diet until the doctor said I needed to fit a stent in 2008. Since then I have been careful with what I eat. My weight since highschool has not changed much hovering around 62-64 kg. I never really watch my diet until the doctor said I needed to fit a stent in 2008. Since then I have been careful with what I eat. My weight since highschool has not changed much hovering around 62-64 kg. And very seldom do I catch a cold. | M | 73 | 6 years 75mg | 4/30/2014 | 4 | stint | No problems first 8 months of taking drug, then the avalanche of problems arrived, severe chest pains, brain fog, restless sleep, wheezing. extreme fatigue. Im sure this medicine has saved me from stroke or heart attack but I cant stand the chest pains or fatigue any more. Two years ago I was running a mile and a half a day in Iraq, now I cant take a walk in the mall. | Spent a lot of money getting a battery of test performed by cardiologist to see what was wrong. Have been feeling like im going crazy (cant walk to far without taking nitroglycerin for chest pain)Glad I saw this article (saw many like me with chest pain). Will tell doctor to pull me off this medicine next month at visit. Any questions or comments contact me at [email protected] | M | 49 | 14 months 75 1X day | 4/18/2014 | 1 | unmedicated stent | Insides feel like jelly. Feels like I'm in a constant state of low blood sugar. Very fatigued and short of breath. Felt better before stent! Can't even shop or walk very far. Saw doc a few days ago. He ordered blood work and all was well. I don't think he believes that it's the plavix but has told me I can go on 325 aspirin in 3 weeks. I am not making these things up. I have no reason to lie! I hope I make it 3 more weeks I sit in my chair most of the time I have no quality of life. Headaches anxiety and brain fog. Sick of it | F | 61 | 4 weeks 75 | 4/8/2014 | 1 | STENT IN HEART | memory impairment, insides quiver, no energy, finger tips and toes ice cold, legs wobbly, look like a drunk, brain fog, feel horrible, constant gas, cough, depression, trouble sleeping, depression, extremely tired, feeL HORRIBLE | M | 63 | 4 months 75 1X day | 12/26/2013 | 1 | 3 Stents after Heart attack | Severe nausea and chest pressure/pain, start in second I was put on Plavix. Which ended up with trips to ER 11 times so far. | Went to GI doctor on my own who discovered I have developed Gastritis, plus my gall bladder was only working at 6%. I NEVER had any symptoms of gall bladder problems before Plavix. Had to have it removed 10/31/2013. The 7 days I had to stop Plavix before the surgery were the only days I have felt human since I had to start take that posion | F | 54 | 7 months 75 MG 1X day | 11/19/2013 | 1 | Stent placement Feb. 13 | Short of breath, headache, extremely tired, blurred vision, reddish blue nail beds, trembling feeling inside and shaking like being chilled. Feel worse than before the stent was inserted. | This is the worse medicine I've ever taken. Within 20 minutes after taking this poison my insides begin to quiver. My hands tremble and my legs are wobbly. The shortness of breath and feeling of oxygen deprived comes and goes, but happens every day several times a day. I have asked the doctor to take me off, but he says I have to stay on it a year. I'm strongly considering stopping on my own. | F | 63 | 8 months 75 1X day | 10/18/2013 | 4 | 4 stents | I am taking the generic clopidogrel 75 Mg daily for 8 weeks.The only change I see different since my stents, my legs get cold at night, and some fatigue early in the day. I don't know If this is from this medication or one of my other meds. will be checking with my Dr. | M | 68 | 75 MG 1X day | 8/31/2013 | 1 | 3 des stents fall of 2012 | I feel horrible as if I am walking in a fog all the time. Short of breath, depressed, constant low grade headache, ache all over. Moody, irritable, can't think straight, forgetful, apathetic. I was told I might be on this for life. What happened to quality of life? I have been told heart "events" can cause depression, but this is ridiculous and "another pill" to cure that is not the answer. Anyone just go off this after DES after one year? Please let me know....53 y/o female. [email protected] | The drug companies are making a fortune off this...someone needs to come up with an alternative to this drug. | F | 53 | 10 months 75 1X day | 8/4/2013 | 4 | Stent | My feet are cold when not wearing shoes so I wear socks whenever shoeless, may not be due to Plavix. No trouble with brusing or bleeding, recently had a tooth pulled and the dentist said he normally sees more bleeding. I exercise 1 hour each day with mostly stretching and jog 2 miles, I think that helps more than the meds. | I don't know if the med is actually doing anything, especially when so many people go off and their conditions improve. | M | 66 | 6 years 75 mg 1X day | 8/1/2013 | 2 | Unstable angina | Cough that is getting worse by the day. Feeling of a FULL head/dull headache. Poor sleeping, a symptom I never had before. "Brain fog" that others have reported is an apt description. Any brain bleed is a petrifying thought.. | This is my second go round. Back in 2004 I got my first stent (DES) and tried to take Plavix for 3 months but had to stop after 6 weeks because of daily nose bleeds. Now 3 more stents and after 4 weeks of Plavix it is beginning to look like 6 weeks may be all I can stand. Doctor suggested 1 year, but admitted that Italian hospitals are recommending 3-6 months. Studies show me that the benefits of adding Plavix to aspirin do not continue after the first 2 months. But I doubt that I can bear even a 2 month headache. | M | 70 | 31 days 75 mg 1X day | 8/1/2013 | 1 | 2 stents | Difficulty breathing, stomach/intestinal pain, depression, brain fog, non menopausal hot flashes, bleeding from gums, nicks and cuts take forever to heal, swollen feet, lethargy and irritability | I have been researching nattokinase and thought I'd give it a try. I am weaning myself off of this Plavix garbage by alternating days between Plavix and nattokinase. The days I take the natto, I have NO symptoms like I do with the Plavix. I can actually breathe instead of wheezing and having to sit down after walking up a flight of stairs, which is not normal for me. I actually feel well. The days I take Plavix? Utterly miserable. I can't wait to be rid of it for good. | F | 45 | 10 months 75mg 1X day | 7/29/2013 | 1 | Stent (2) | short of breath, constipation, back ache, fatigue | Have been living a poor quality of life since starting plavix. Admitted to hospital for shortness of breath and other assorted ailments. Bill was 58K, went home in the same condition as I entered the hospital. Stopped plavix after the prescribed time and side effects are almost gone | M | 65 | 2.5 years 75 MG 1X day | 7/29/2013 | 2 | heart attack.. blockage 4 stents | diag glaucoma. tired always weak. bruse easy and breathing labored | M | 54 | 2 days 75mg daily | 7/26/2013 | 1 | Drug Eluding Stent | Bad Medicine- Stomach problems, Bleeding, severe headache,severe tiredness. Lost 25 lbs. in three weeks. | Plavix made my life horrible. I had bleeding from every opening in my body. could not eat because the drug completely messed my stomach up. Had severe dark watery dierra. had purple bruising all over my arms. When I went to my cardiologist he pretty much told me to deal with it.I had a drug eluting stent placed in my right coronary artery on May 10th,2013, after they found a 60-70% blockage.I was not given any details about the type of stent or that i would be on plavix until after they put it in me. I stopped the plavix after 2 weeks. I had no quality of life left.I am sure i would have bled out or had a stroke if i had stayed on plavix. I would rather take my chance on a fatal heart attack over dying a horrible death on plavix. .My colon is still messed up, hoping appointment with gastro dr. tomorrow will help fix that.Otherwise i am slowly getting better. My stomach has started to settle down and no more bleeding or bruising. I wish anyone luck that has problems with this medication. | M | 56 | 14 days 75 mg 1X day | 6/27/2013 | 2 | Have had 3-4 stents | Left lower leg, cramping in two to 3 spots. Left foot cold and numb at toes plus swelling. Had femoral bypass previously | M | 70 | 45 days 75 1X day | 5/28/2013 | 1 | Arterial Bypass in Rt Leg | Sever fatigue, shortness of breath, weak, tired but have trouble sleeping. Similar to restless leg syndrome, but through the entire body. Sometimes I feel/get confused. No way to live! | 60 years old, but I was in great shape, lift weights,surf, etc. What bothers me is all my doctors say they have never heard of anyone else having these side effects. I see on this website, there are literally hundreds of people just like me. I am going to quit taking the medication. I will probably lose my lower leg by amputation, but I would rather do that, than sacrifice my quality of life because of the medication. | M | 60 | 30 days 75 1X day | 5/13/2013 | 1 | Stent fitted due to heart attack | Aching limbs, extremely cold all the time, lack of appetite, burping, bleeding from rectnal area and nose occasionally, Oh and a cerebal bleed to the left side of the brain which could only be evacuated after I had been weaned off this drug, which took 12 days whilst I was in a slightly confused state and my walking was likje that of someone who was drunk. | M | 64 | 171 days 75g 1X day | 4/16/2013 | 2 | I had a brain stem stroke over 1 year ago. They started me on Plavix 75MG. I get out of breath so easy with even a short walk. My memory has degraded and affects my work and hobbies not to mention how up set my wife gets when I forget all she says to me. I decided today to stop taking Plavix and just take 1 full dose aspirin a day instead. | I will update this after 3 months and report any changes | M | 55 | 400 days 75 1X day | 4/9/2013 | 1 | 20210 mutation | agitation, mood disturbance | F | 40 | 1 days 75 MG 1X day | 4/5/2013 |
