PLAVIX  (CLOPIDOGREL BISULFATE):  Clopidogrel is used to prevent heart attacks and strokes in persons with heart disease (recent heart attack), recent stroke, or blood circulation disease (peripheral vascular disease). It is also used with aspirin to treat new/worsening chest pain (new heart attack, unstable angina) and to keep blood vessels open and prevent blood clots after certain procedures (such as cardiac stent). Clopidogrel works by blocking platelets from sticking together and prevents them from forming harmful clots. It is an antiplatelet drug. It helps keep blood flowing smoothly in your body.   FDA Approval Date: 2007-09-20 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 3  Aneurysm coiling, 2 stents Bruising in out of control. I take a 1/2 tab Q4D and 325 mg QD of Asp. I am low energy most of the time, I actually don’t know if it’s helping or not, I guess it is, can’t see in my brain, but needed a second stent in March. So I’m definitely not forming any clots in my brain! But I do know my bruises are awful and they last for weeks, so I know I’m not healing as I should, a small cut will take weeks to heal also. Can’t wait to be off this stuff! F 57 11 months

 4  PAD peripheral artery disease A little more tired than usual. I use to get really bad leg cramps especially at night while trying to sleep. Two days after starting Plavix I had no leg cramps and very little tingling. Occasionally I feel like something in my legs is trying to get out, but that is not as severe as it was. Also have been in 8 wks of PT and increased my walking distance from about 50 feet to 1/3 of a mile yesterday. Trying to prevent having stents put in legs. Also started wearing mild compression stockings. All seems to be working well so far. 81 3 days

 2  PAD, CLI Extreme fatigue, depression. Labored breathing upon walking with hip and leg pain. Legs feel weak. Cold. Frequent hot flashes. Tingling in shoulders, arms and hands. Weight gain, bloating and constipation. Horrible brain fog and memory loss. Recently prescribed along with 81mg aspirin. Feel after reading others experiences that this is a nasty drug. Also, after first procedure prescribed Xarelto. Lord God almighty, is this how I am to live my life!? I have no interest in hobbies, I want to sleep, couch or bedridden most of the time. Is it Plavix or Xarelto? Both! F 59 29 days

 1  Heart Stent Chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, feeling like I was dying. The worst drug ever. I told my doctor something had to give, after 30 days on this toxic chemical I wished I had died of the heart attack. Luckily, my doctor listened and changed me to the anti-coagulant Effient. I'm a different man. All the symptoms are all but gone. If you're sensitive to medication keep insisting on trying other drugs until your doctor finds one that works, rather than just suffering.
