| 3 | Blood clot - right arm | Tingling in hand and fingers, achy pain in arm, stiffness in neck. Back pain with a pinch nerve feel. Stomach pain. | I started with 15/ twice a day for 30 days- 20mg 1x a day | F | 46 | 1 days 20 mg | 1/24/2017 | 1 | Blood clots | I was diagnosed as having blood clots in my left and right brachial, and ordered to take xarelto, since then I have had no appetite, joint pains, migraines, bruising, shortness of breath and the worst feeling of fatigue,,,, miserable!!! | I really hate taking this medication | F | 44 | 3 weeks 25 mg | 1/1/2017 | 3 | Due to having had heart attack and | None of which I am certain. Have had swelling of hands and pain. | I would like to know if you have had any comments of people having a problem with food and drink as I have disgusting smells and tastes. Some days are worse than others but it effects what I can eat or drink making meal times very difficult and dehydration can become a problem. As I can not eat or drink something that's smells or tastes awefull. | F | 80 | 10 months 20mg | 9/23/2016 | 3 | DVT | Extreme itch with rash, starting from day one and worsening. Started from lower leg and is migrating up. After a week, changed to Pradaxa. It's now a week later, and the itch continues unabated . Difficulty going to and staying asleep due to itch. Very distracting and uncomfortable throughout the day. | Due to DVT, was prescribed Xarelto 15mg twice daily for 3 weeks, then to move down to once daily. The side effects noted above made taking Xaralto intolerable, and I could only stay on it for a week before changing to Pradaxa. However in my week-long experience with Xaralto, it is worth noting that the pain from DVT was completely alleviated almost immediately after starting Xaralto, which tells me that it is a very effective anticoagulant. Now that I am on Pradaxa for a week now, I am feeling an occasionally reminder of the DVT pain, which I will be asking my Hematologist about. | M | 50 | 7 days 15 MG 2X day | 9/16/2016 | 5 | Unprovoked DVTs and PEs | No side effects. I was on Coumadin for 5 years prior to going on Xarelto and actually had 4 blood clots while on Coumadin. I have had NO clots since starting Xarelto. It has been great. No monthly blood checks. No dietary restrictions. I'm so glad some drug manufacturer made a different blood thinner other than Coumadin which is literally rat poison. | I am very cold a lot. Like freezing. But I had this when I was taking Coumadin, as well. I don't bruise or bleed as much as I did when I was on Coumadin. My eyesight has gotten worse, but I think it is just genetics and aging and not related to Xarelto. Please contact me if you have any questions. Dosing if this drug is very important because it can affect your organs that filter it. It made my creatinine levels higher at first, but then I went from 20-15 mgs, and it is fine now. | F | 44 | 5 years 15 mg | 8/7/2016 | 2 | PE | Diagnosed with PE on July 7, 2016. Started out in 15mg twice a day for the first 20 days & now on 20mg once a day. It makes me feel awful...dizziness, nausea, & headaches. I'm fatigued & have no energy around the clock. It's difficult to work. I've gone to the ER twice since being discharged from the hospital because of my dizziness. My potassium has dropped & my doctor can't figure out why. I had to be given potassium by IV & a prescription to get my potassium up. It's been a nightmare. I have vivid dreams ... All of this & I'm not even scheduled hematologists until August 15th because I'm a new patient. I'm so outdone! | F | 44 | 1 months 20mg daily | 8/7/2016 | 4 | Bruise very easily although I bruised anyway. I seem to be too heavy for what I eat. Wondering if it's related to xarelto. Menstrual cycle is very heavy because of being on it. Stopped taking it and 2 days later noticed weight loss. | F | 46 | 3 years | 7/18/2016 | 4 | Bruise very easily although I bruised anyway. I seem to be too heavy for what I eat. Wondering if it's related to xarelto. Menstrual cycle is very heavy because of being on it. Stopped taking it and 2 days later noticed weight loss. | F | 46 | 3 years | 7/18/2016 | 4 | Saddle Embolus, clotting disorder, | Fatigue and hair loss | F | 58 | 1 years 2pmg | 7/11/2016 | 2 | AFib | Leg pains, surface of lower legs, behind knees. Interferes with walking. | Hope this will go away in time, because I need to be on blood thinner. | F | 80 | 50 days 20 mg 1X day | 6/28/2016 | 2 | 2 pulmonary embolism | I have random joint aches and weakness in the legs. I also experienced excessive weight gain - almost 20lbs since I started taking xarelto. I'm not on any other meds. Taking scans this week and will speak to my dr about switching medication. My periods are extremely heavy, however I believe that all blood thinning meds would increase the blood flow | F | 39 | 4 months 20mg | 6/19/2016 | 2 | Joint pain, itching, hoarseness | I was prescribed Xarelto after an ankle fusion to prevent clots (run in the family, no movement in leg for 3 months). I'm really disappointed with the extra joint pain, when I just had surgery to correct the pain I am having from severe osteo-arthritis. Overall, I guess the medicine is effective, does its job, but the side effects suck. Period. | F | 36 | 2 months 15 MG | 5/18/2016 | 3 | Dvt and PE | I was put on Xarelto for provoked blood clots in my leg that went to my lungs. I just had my 1 month checkup and Dr. said the clots look good. So the drug worked on that. But let me tell you the hell I went through. 3 weeks of the worst joint pain I have ever had. I could only walk if I had to. And my knees would not bend. My knees bend about 90 degrees now but being unable to walk for three weeks left me with a lot of muscle lose. I can walk with a cane and the muscles are getting stronger but please don't put yourself through this. If you feel joint pain talk to your doctor and try something else. You should know in a day or two. | M | 46 | 1 months 20 | 5/12/2016 | 1 | DVT | Just began the drug while in hospital being treated for DVT in left leg. Since taking it, absolutely no relief in leg with the clot, in fact, same or worse constriction pain since before diagnosis. Extremely painful. Considering going back to ER | F | 35 | 2 days 15 Mg | 4/16/2016 | 3 | Blood Clot | Random and at times intense muscle and joint pain. | Seems to be getting more and more severe, however I'm hoping this just means the medicine is doing it's job. | M | 21 | 6 days 15mg | 3/29/2016 | 3 | Dvt pe | Sick feeling heart palpitations leg pain stomach upset dizziness it does have lactose in it and I'm lactose intolerant considering changing | F | 40 | 2 months 20 mg | 3/3/2016 | 2 | PE | Muscle and joint pain are the worst, occasional headaches, tiredness | I find that if I don't eat with xarelto I feel worse. Taking medication with food doesn't make the side effects go away though. Muscle and joint pain are absolutely horrible | F | 45 | 6 months 20 mg 1X day | 2/22/2016 | 3 | Dvt | At first bleeding gums then after 5 weeks my first ever nosebleed, now got calf pain in both legs which I can only assume is this drug since not done anything to cause it | F | 48 | 3 months 20 | 2/19/2016 | 1 | prevent clotting | Uncontrollable jerking, drop in BP, general feeling of illness. | Research shows it can cause internal bleeding for which they have no antidote as other blood thinners have. US families successful prosecution for killing family members. Stopped it for several days and felt much better. GP insists it's okay. He is wrong. | M | 90 | 5 weeks 25mg 1X day | 2/17/2016 | 2 | a-fib | hives/rash around torso, under arms, crook of elbow, lower back, thighs with intense itching, seems to make my skin extremely sensitive, can't even have bedsheet on me. stomach feels sore, headaches, and tired feeling | am taking less and less of this drug to wean myself off w/o any bad effects, now taking every other day and soon bye-bye Xarelto | F | 67 | 3 months 20MG 1X day | 12/28/2015 |
