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)

Since then have had series of similar attacks with hot flushes and panic attack symptoms. These have become more and more frequent - now every three or four days - very debilitating.

 5  Poor circulation in legs Before starting this medication I could not walk 50 feet without have to stop and rest. After about 3 weeks of taking medication I now can walk at least a 1/2 mile before any leg pain start, also I had a bad ABI test that is when dr put me on Plavix and low dose aspirin (already taking aspirin) I had a angiography done on legs and results came back mild leg vein damage. Seems no side effects other than stopping bleeding takes a bit more time. M 60 1 days

 5  Stroke My husband took this for 11 and a half yrs,righteously.He got lung cancer and they stopped his plavix for radiation treatment and for a port.T hey had given him 6 mo.to a year and he died 15 days later.I know it was because he stopped the plavix.He was doing fine before that.A and I found out afterwards that you are not suppose to stop taking any blood thinners when starting radiation, that's according to the drug safety council.I know drugs don't work on every person the same but this drug worked for him till they stopped it.People should know you can't just abruptly don't stop a drug you have to be weaned slowly.They said it can cause stroke or heart attack if you do. And that's exactly what happened to him. This drug worked for him 11 an a half yrs.All drugs don't work for everyone but it worked for him as long as he wastaking it. M 69 10 years

 1  heart stint procedure My Dad took this stuff for about a year and it has almost killed him. He has suffered immensely with all kinds of side effects like nausea, extreme stomach aches vomiting anemia, internal bleeding. This stuff needs to be taken off the market! What's wrong with doctors anyway! You trying to kill off our elderly?! When I get old I will NOT take all that crap....I'll just take my chances on aspirin or something. Wow... The crap sucks! Needs to be banned! M 78 1 years

 1  Stent in LAD Had green laser done 10 years ago to fix BPH in prostate . Started Plavix after stent DES July 1 2016 after one stent. Was ok until I started seeing small blood clots in urine now and then . Urologist did cystoscopy . Problem bleeding coming from blood vessels hanging from prostate after laser for bph. Doctor said Plavix thinned blood enough to make those vessels bleed.Two weeks later I hemorrhaged . My cardiologist and urologist both said I can't stop Plavix . I called the support number on my stent card. I have the newest Resolute Medtronic stent. They would not offer advice as to stopping but directed me to the acc aha website. The latest report from March 2016 showed patients on Plavix for 3 to 6 months did no worse after discontinuing Plavix than those who took Plavix for 12 months. I stopped the Plavix after 3 1/2 months. Just taking baby aspirin . This medicine is brutal. I had two brain surgeries in April 2015 after getting a bleed slipping on black ice. Not chancing my brain bleeding from taking this medicine. M 67 3 months

 1  Mom had TIA Mom took this meds and went from walking to barely standing and confused and mood swings all the time. Plavix did lower her BP to normal range and stay normal for 3 days and it was a half pill! This meds is dangerous to older ppl. Meds are strong so I wouldn't advise taking it everyday. Her doctor would not take her off of it. He saying oh u have Parkinson's and gave her meds for that which made her sleepy all day.I took her to doctor where I live. Aspirin is better with less side effects. She began to walk better after 2weeks and have more energy. She only take apsirin 2-3 times a week. I took her get blood check and she was fine. Please listen to your body this meds kill u quicker. If u have to take it I suggest every other day. Get regular blood testing 2-3 months to make sure it's fine. My dad was on Plavix and aspirin guess what he did in March brain stroke! Had I knew what I know now I would have taking him to doctor where I live. Doctor doesn't seem to care anymore! Please eat right exercise know where ur health stand get 2nd opinion. F 70 1 years
