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.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2007-09-20

 1  Had stent put in Ligh theadeedness, shortness of breath, arms and legs feel weak, VERY SIGNIFICANT increase in tinnitus, and insomnia significantly worse. I hate this drug and am going to insist my Dr either take me off of it altogether or find a different medication. Was originally on brilinta and had extreme shortness of breath. The Plavix isn't any better. Probably worse as I didn't have all the other side effects when on brilinta. M 65 6 months

 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
