| 1 | I hate it | ALL!! CHEST PAIN, PANT LIKE A DOG, NO ENERGY, BRUISING, CAN FEEL MY HEART DAILY, CANT EXCERSISE, NUMBNESS, STRANGE SPARKLING FEELING ALL OVER MY CHEST, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!! | I NEED TO GET OFF THIS MED AND I THINK I MIGHT NOT HAVE NEEDED MY STENTS AT ALL. THIS HAS CHANGED/RUINED MY QUALITY OF LIFE. | M | 49 | 2 months 90 2X day | 3/5/2017 | 1 | stent placement | extreme episodes of sob at night, bruising, decreased urine stream, coughing | worst med ever taken, costs too much ! | M | 72 | 3 months 90mg | 2/23/2017 | 1 | This is the worst drug I've ever had, including those I'm allergic to. Before I could hold my breath underwater for 3-4 minutes, now I can't do a flight of steps without sitting. This is ludicrous, I don't care what it does, I hate it! | Satan in a Sunday hat! | F | 44 | 6 weeks | 2/22/2017 | 2 | ACS | Shortness of breath, cough, bruising, bleeding heavy period, gasp for air while sleeping, fatigue, blurry vision | F | 47 | 1 months 90 2X day | 1/29/2017 | 2 | Stent placement | Shortness of breath | Experienced SOB soon after starting Brilinta. Went to ER due to it not being explained as a side effect (yeah, I should have looked into it, but no medical provider informed me). Asked cardiologist to switch meds. He placed me on Effient, which I started 12/9/2016. Still have SOB today (12/11/2016), but fingers crossed that resolves soon. | M | 42 | 3 months 90 MG | 12/11/2016 | 1 | 5 stents | Shortness of Breath, itching, easily bruising, anxiety and nervousness | Horrible medication don't try it. | M | 64 | 4 months 90 mg x2 | 10/12/2016 | 2 | Stent | Bleeding in urine since day one. | M | 65 | 1 days 90 | 9/16/2016 | 1 | Stents | Shortness of breath itching all over boby | Should not be on the market | M | 42 | 2 weeks 90mg | 6/12/2016 | 3 | 2 stents placed after heart attack | I have experienced some shortness of breath and fatigue but my worst symptom is massive bruising with the slightest bump. I bruise so easily, I can't tell you when I bumped something to cause it and the bruising is so bad it looks as if I have fallen down the stairs. I end up with a huge black and purple bruise down my arm after leaning it on my desk to use the mouse. | My doctor wants me on it for a year but will put me on Plavix if I desire. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid a head bump will cause a brain bleed. | F | 38 | 1 months 90 mg | 5/17/2016 | 5 | Stent | None so far! | The age I entered is correct everyone! I experienced the scariest time of my life last week- heart attack- I had been feeling like something was REALLY wrong with my ticker for about a month and a half before my heart attack - been in and out of the cardiologist office, emergency rooms, and a couple of ambulances. Everyone told me it was nothing - probably anxiety. Had LOTS of tests done with nothing being revealed - so by the time I had my heart attack, I thought it must be nothing, really bad heartburn maybe. IT WAS NOT. My entire family is in medicine and it wasn't until I couldn't feel my left hand and my chest and arm pain were so bad that I was scream crying that I felt I needed to get some help. ANYWAY- I am so lucky that I'm alive and okay!!!! I have a stint and I'm on this Rx, and 8 days after having a heart attack, I feel better than I've felt in many many months. This Rx is working fine for me so far but if there's anything to learn from my experience, it's that we MUST be our own advocates!!!! Tell doctors everything!!! BOTHER them!!!! MAKE THEM LISTEN. If they won't, please find one who will. | F | 38 | 1 days 90mg X 2 | 2/4/2016 | 2 | stem | Constipation, Chest pain. Burning in the chest. Upset stomach. Phlegm in the chest. | F | 55 | 8 months 90mg | 12/18/2015 | 1 | stent | This crap is poison,have been extremely tired and weak.Chills and flu like symptoms.Shortness of breath while at rest at times. | Calling doctor to get me on something else. | M | 66 | 1 months 90 2X day | 12/8/2015 | 1 | 4 heart stents | rectal bleeding | Problem probably relates to crohn's disease. Tried Plavix but it seemed to make the problem worse. | M | 70 | 10 months 90 2X day | 11/17/2015 | 2 | coronary stent | Shortness of breath | Will be starting Plavix tomorrow and hopefully shortness of breath will go away! | M | 64 | 6 weeks 90 mg | 7/28/2015 | 1 | Had 1 stent put in | After 36 hours on the drug, I began experiencing Atrial Fibrillation. I also experienced a panic attack. The first panic attack that I had since 2006. | I had an EPC Cell capture stent put in, so I'm hoping that the stent will heal itself quickly and I can just continue with the aspirin. | M | 61 | 2 days 90 2X day | 6/26/2015 | 1 | 3 DES stents | The cough! The cough! The cough! Fatigue, brain fog, no stamina, bruising and nosebleeds. | I have never had COPD, don't smoke, never had allergies and have never had a cough like this until this drug. It is a dry and constant cough. It, more than anything, will be the one factor in making me go off the drug. The brain fog is irritating and not normal; the fatigue is also lessening what I can do and for how long. This is not good. | F | 62 | 3 months 90mg 2X day | 5/15/2015 | 2 | heart stents | Primary side effect difficulty breathing... | with no generic available I requested my cardiologist prescribe a generic substitute that is older & exhibits less side effects according to reviews I've read. So far so good.. Greatly improved breathing & much less expensive | M | 62 | 6 months 90 mg 2X day | 4/9/2015 | 1 | Stent placement | Serious brain fog, which I suppose is ok if you lay around all day. I can't function on this med. Feel doped up and high 24/7. Am going to ask my doc to change it. Other symptoms, bruising, shortness of breath, ringing in the ears. | F | 46 | 2 months 90mg 2xday | 11/30/2014 | 3 | Angeoplasty with Two stents | Suffering from severe coughing, now and then chest pain. | Drug cost high. | M | 59 | 3 months 90 mg- two | 11/2/2014 | 1 | 2 heart stints | Just released from hospital with severe anemia due to acute bleeding (menstrual), low blood pressure, low heart rate. Nearly went into shock from blood loss. | This drug should not be given to women who still have periods. Plavix worked, had fewer side effects, and didn't send me to the ER thinking I was having another heart attack. | F | 38 | 3 months 90 MG 2X day | 9/28/2014 |
