| 5 | Stent | No side affects! Lucky I guess considering the horror stories listed here. | I might suggest if it was not on your prescription bottle MUST TAKE WITH FOOD; this could make a difference. | F | 67 | 4 months 75 mg 1X day | 7/24/2011 | 1 | MI | Hurt ALL over..feet, ankles, knees, arms, elbows. Muzzy in the head and bruises everywhere | THANK YOU ALL for commenting - this is helpful! | F | 54 | 28 days 1X day | 7/24/2011 | 5 | Coronary Artery Disease | Absolutely none! The drug saved me from having to have open heart surgery. | If the C:YP2C19 Liver Enzyme Function test is important, why is it not given to all patients taking Plavix? This could be part of the annual examination process. | M | 62 | 4.7 years 75 MG 1X day | 7/23/2011 | 1 | medicated stent | GI bleeding requiring transfusion and endoscopy to cap bleed. | 325 mg aspirin was also taken with Plavix | M | 55 | 15 days 75 1X day | 7/20/2011 | 1 | stents | GI Bleeding. Four Units of blood were given with transfusion. Huge bruises on the arms, Mental Confusion. Near Kidney Failure | This is a very dangerous drug. My mother has been put on this, and the side effects put her life at excessive risk. | F | 88 | 365 days 1X day | 7/18/2011 | 1 | 1 Stent in 90%-95% blocked major ar | I feel this drug is killing me. I've not felt good since coming home from original hosp. stay late Nov'10. My firtst day after the stent was placed, they gave me 7! pills to swallow, each being 75mg. Due to the nincompoop assistant's NOT aplying pressure on the wound's entry, after the line was taken out, I developed a Orange sized hematoma, which if not for the nurse checking on me in the rec. room, I'd have bled to death. I've since been in/out of hosp. about 4 times due to the various different pains i feel andfear of what it may be. My quality of life is Nil.Life is now of frustration, fear and anger. They won't take me off this poison because of those that have switched after being on plavix, i'm told the death rate or clot rate is about 30% or so. My question to my killerologist was, "Why can't i be in the 70% that have no problems"? His reply, "We can't take that chance".WTF!? I almost feel as if I'd be better off dead than to be living like this. Drugs; all doctors want to know, otherwise they and big pharma would be out of work & might actually have to get a real job, providing real quality products/services that ACTUALLY HELPED ( CURE ) people! My wife found a lawsuit in process, against plavix makers and I've come across a site that exposes the cholesterol/heart disease MYTH.

He welcomes ALL callers. | M | 55 | 228 days 75mg 1X day | 7/12/2011 Patient History | 5 | drug eluding stent | white cells and platelets going down? but doctors are concerned but not alarmed. Unfortunatly the white cells are my only defense against prostate cancer cells.Just trying to stay alive. | M | 69 | 1 years 75 1X day | 7/7/2011 | 1 | Coated coronary stent | Extreme tiredness, weak, lethargy. Painful knees and walking takes effort. Foggy brain and no short tearm memory. | I hated taking this for a couple of weeks 10 yrs ago. BAD headaches. Now again Plavix was prescribed but the side effects are now so dibilitating and the doc wants me to take it for a year. I left him a message saying I can't stand the way I feel. Hopefully he'll call me tomorrow. | M | 56 | 8 weeks 75 mg 1X day | 6/28/2011 | 1 | Des Stent | Nervous system being effected, Over hot most of the time, Memory Loss, Fatigue, Bruises, Loss of strength. | PLAVIX is not good for my body type. As for the Medical System which allows it's use? I was first told - only need to be on it for one year back in 2004. In 2005 I was told to stay on it always because of the uncertainty of what would happen to people when they come off Plavix . Any way stopped taking it 4 weeks ago and went over to 100mg Aspirin, fish oil, vit C and some other natural things. And in 4 weeks for my body type - life seems to be comming good again. Should have come off Plavix/Lipitor/Crista years back. What I have notice over the 4 weeks, feeling cooler, blood presure fluctuating but not overly high in the last few days seems to be comming down and is sitting on 135/75, memory improving, a lot less muscle pain with improved flexibility, nervous system improving and alot more energy. | M | 48 | 7 years 75mg 1X day | 6/21/2011 | 1 | heart attack | tired dizzy stomack ache | M | 61 | 5 weeks 1.7 1X day | 6/13/2011 | 2 | des stent | I could deal with the brain fog and feeling crummy overall but I couldn't cope with the severe stomach pain and had to quit as a result. Now I have to take Protonix to fix the ulcer it caused. | Within a couple weeks of taking it the stomach problems began. I cut the dose in half, then half again, then tiny pieces, then I quit altogether. 1 year is required but I quit after 6 months of torture. It's been over 2 months now since I quit taking it. My cardiologist knows my situation. I'm trying to compensate by continuing with aspirin, omega-3, a vegan diet, and exercise. My LDL cholesterol and blood pressure are quite good and should help. | M | 55 | 6 months 75mg 1X day | 5/29/2011 | 1 | after mild stroke | Fatigue, breathing difficulty (I could breath normal and then have to breath real deep to try and get enough oxygen) minor depression, generally felt bad. | I talked to my Neurologist about problems and he was in denial that these kind of problems could be happening because he had never had problems with Plavix. I decided I was going to stop taking it and wanted to try one more time with the Dr. and he then told me to stop taking it and just maintain the aspirin I was taking. | M | 56 | 60 days 75mg 1X day | 5/27/2011 | 2 | Blood clot | Until reading these comments, I thought that I was going crazy. Depression, anxiety, chest pain misdiagnosed as arterial spasms, joint pain, muscle pain, headaches, bouts of dizziness, and flu like symptoms all of the time. I'm 34 years old and should be in the prime of my life. Now I feel like dying. Today's the last day. Freedom and my life starts again tomorrow. | M | 34 | 9 months 75mg 1X day | 5/26/2011 | 3 | stent in leg for blood clot | Nausea and easily bruised. Also has effected my memory. | After surgery for a blood clot in my leg I was given Plavix. I take other meds and some are on an as needed basis so it took me awhile to realize it is the Plavix that is causing me to feel nauseous. It also has effected my memory. Thankfully, I will only be on it for a month and can replace it with 81mg of asprin. I am trying to be so careful not to bump into things in fear of bruising. | F | 66 | 14 days 25 MG 1X day | 5/16/2011 | 1 | stent(des) nov 2010 | pain in elbows,tired, dizzy | M | 70 | 6 months 75mg 1X day | 5/13/2011 | 2 | stent | yaaayyyy..thanks for all d information's found in here. the doctor put a stent in my mom right artery back in february 2011. lately bruises are shown in her left and right hand. at first she thought it was because of lifting heavy stuff but seems the bruises are getting crazy.okay. another is she's depressed easily i mean like she thinks what she doesn't have to think, she's sad for no reason and having bad mood. and lastly what shocked me, she even forgets osama's back ground. 'no offense please', but i just get confused that she forget things that is aired for ages.sometimes what she forgets make me and dad laughing *i'm bad, aren't i?*. after reading all of these comments, now i realized why my mom changes. the doctor gave her 3 mnths presciption and she'll be meeting him in the middle of this month (the doctor is in another country which means we can't go and see him anytime we want because of the ticket, hotel, etc). so i'll mention of these changes to the doctor and hopefu | F | 66 | 70 days 1X day | 5/3/2011 | 1 | mi | too many to list | F | 58 | 2 days 12.3 1X day | 4/5/2011 | 1 | stent placed | Very bad memory loss, fatigue. | I was taking Plavix for about 2 months and started having bad memory loss to the point I was having a hard time remembering my own childrens names, also became very fatiguedeven with a good nights sleep. Lots of bruising also. Doctor switched me to Effient and I can go back to taking my nexium wothout all the side effects of Plavix. Bye Bye Plavix thank you Effient! | M | 52 | 2 months 1X day | 4/5/2011 | 1 | 1 Stent put in. | confusion, have short term memory loss, servere breathing difficulties, every joint down to my toes hurt. exsaserbated muscle pain, sever fatigue. Went to get in my car on a busy roadway and the muscles in my left side just gave way and I collapsed face first on the road | My doctor stopped the plavix and increased my aspirin from two 81 mg a day to one 325 mg coated aspirin. It's been 2 weeks off of it now and I am still having problems with the short term memory. Anyone else been taken off experiencing this? Dr. now wants to put me on Effient | F | 47 | 3.5 months 75 mg 1X day | 4/2/2011 | 1 | ischemic stroke | MAJOR hip pain, shoulder pain, leg pain; exacerbated existing problems with fibromyalgia; slightest bump leaves deep bruising | I had an ischemic stroke in mid-January 2011 and was prescribed Plavix as a result. In addition to being HORRIBLY expensive even with my health plan's prescription discounts, I soon began experiencing serious bruising from just the simplest bump into anything. But worse than that was the joint pain--crippling, disabling,pain was quite literally driving me insane. Even with my family history of ischemic strokes and heart attacks, I reached a point where there no way I could continue on Plavix even one more day and BEGGED my doctor to take me off it. I'm now on aspirin and a statin. I would not go back on Plavix if it were the only medication on the planet. | F | 47 | 30 days 75 1X day | 3/25/2011 |
