 3  blood clot in the lung Broke my right ankle. Admitted to ER with blood clot attributed to wearing a cast. No medical history of blood clots. Gained about 25 pounds. Relapse of severe pain in my right leg after cast removal.. Have been off xarelto for 60 plus days....pain in leg improving....Weight losses taking longer.. I see many comments about weight gain. Yet the manufacturer does not acknowledge it as a side effect...I think they should revisit their side effects F 62 120 days

 1  DVT right arm Always extremely tired, unable to sleep well, constant upset stomach, indigestion, feel sick all the time, feeling of fever and chills, very heavy periods. ER Doc wouldn't even consider issuing something else. Regular care physician is switching me to Coumadin due to quality of life issues. I really don't believe this should be the "go to" blood clot drug of choice simply because you pop a pill without any monitoring. 47 3 months

 4  DVT from cast for leg fracture Very bad nausea, stomach pains, acid reflux and Vomiting. Difficult urinating. Occasional dizziness faintness. Fatigue (but that may be from DVT/fracture:being on crutches) and it has lessened as DVT pain has eased. Worked amazing to remove calf pain from DVT so will manage side effects as only need treatment for 3 months. F 39 3 weeks

 1  Pe Headaches,backache,muscle weakness and generally fatigued. I skipped a day a few times and felt better in 36 hours. I was able to run 2 miles without wearing out!!! All athletes beware. I can't wait until I am off these horrible pills or until I can switch to heparin. I hate needles but would rather stab myself twice a day than feel this way ever again. F 68 90 days

 1  PE Severe muscle spasms, night sweats, bleeding gums, flank pain, kidney decline. I suffered on this awful medication for a PE. I took only this drug, so all the side effects were directly related to it. Once I stopped, all side effects went away, except the flank pain. I'm now on 2.5mg Eliquis with no side effects. F 67 8 months

 2  AFib after heart surgery Weight gain, stomach aches when I take it with evening meal, extreme fatigue, water retention, horrible back aches. Exhausted all the time. My cardiologist says he hasn’t ever heard of any of these side effects. I asked to go off off of the medication several times. I’m not enjoying life anymore I’m too tired to go do anything. I used to work out all the time. I find it odd after reading numerous patient reviews on several websites that the makers of Carelto refuse to add these side effects on there pamphlets. It’s a shame. I would do Coumadin again but could never get leveled on it. I’m sad that Cardiologist don’t listen to their own patients. F 63 2 years

 1  Leg blood clot Nausea, difficulty eatting (lack of appetite), insomnia, chest & arm pain (only once) Additional Comments about xarelto: I would never recommend this to even my worst enemy!!! Had 3 ER visit and tons of test but they can’t find anything wrong with me so I believe it is a side effect of the medicine. It’s torture at its best. I usually feel it coming in after I take on a full stomach F 78 2 months

 1  Taking it for 3 months due to heart Within a week some of my joints started feeling extremely arthritic. Continued until I could barely move my right arm. Somehow the drug finds all your weak spots. The pain is excruciating. I am supposed to be able to discontinue the medication this until this weekend but I've decided today is close enough. From time to time I tried some over-the-counter and even prescription pain medications and nothing touched it next time I need a blood thinner I'm going for the rat poison. I tried all the other New age blood thinners and they all had pretty awful side effects within a week. 62 90 days
