COUMADIN  (WARFARIN SODIUM):  This medication is used to treat blood clots (such as in deep vein thrombosis-DVT or pulmonary embolus-PE) and/or to prevent new clots from forming in your body. Preventing harmful blood clots helps to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. Conditions that increase your risk of developing blood clots include a certain type of irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation), heart valve replacement, recent heart attack, and certain surgeries (such as hip/knee replacement). Warfarin is commonly called a "blood thinner," but the more correct term is "anticoagulant." It helps to keep blood flowing smoothly in your body by decreasing the amount of certain substances (clotting proteins) in your blood.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 3  Dvt Itchy skin. Bruising. Phlebitis cellulutis. Hemorrhages heavy periods constipation aches pains. Cold summer and xtra in winter. Runny nose. No growth in my nails. Restricted to concieve a baby. Doctors tried to tell me i wasnt allowed to have a kid. Its a pain having ur arm pricked every 2 weeks or week. Whens this warfarin going to be replaced with xarealo? Compression socks are unfashionable unsexy and are like bin a grandma. Theres too many strengths of tablet and why cant there just be one single tablet instead of pinks browns plus blues etc that u have to count urself. M 42 10 years

 4  Stroke due to dissection Extreme hair loss, weight gain/bloating, stomach cramps, throat closure, bruising, joint pain, rush of heat followed with left arm numbness and extreme shaking (chills), left jaw numbness/tingling, light headed, dizzy, NO sex drive, fatigue, depression, anxiety, cold, emotional Coumadin is the ONLY blood thinner on the market approved for a dissection so I'm stuck taking this drug until my left carotid artery heals (hopefully 3 months). I HATE this drug, it was developed in the 1940's to kill rats and now I take it daily. I am a 5 time half-marathon runner and certified yoga instructor, my health and active lifestyle is very important to me so being on this drug makes every terrible side effect that much more worse. Almost every side effect mentioned I have experienced. I started at a Coumadin Clinic today and the pharmacist advised she doesn't see many side effects, I call bull on that. I can't be the only one experiencing all these issues. My INR is all over the place I have varied from 1.7 to 4.3. I have reduced my Vit K intake dramatically, I actually cried at the site of a salad a couple weeks ago. F 31 35 days

 3  pulmonary embolism Extremely annoying tingling sensation and sharp pin-like pain in feet,legs and hands when I am in bed at night or if seated for too long. Used to get numbness in face,legs and arms but that had subsided. I am grateful for this medicine because it has helped me. However,I do not enjoy the side effects I get by taking it. I wish I can say I'm looking forward to the day I no longer need it. That wish was crushed when my doctor said I have to take it for life. 😭😭 I'm glad to know that there are people out there on coumadin who are experiencing the same side effects as I am. I was made to believe that this medicine has no side effects. The crazy thing is, none of those people are on it. 😕 F 43 10 years

 2  PE in right lung after DVT leftcalf I was getting headaches after taking Coumadin. I experienced the PE one month ago and the clot seemed to go away after a week. Nonetheless I was put on a combination of heparin injections and Coumadin. Quickly got tired of having INR levels checked two to three times a week. For some reason I was having this sense that Coumadin was not something for me. So despite various doctors telling me I should be on Coumadin for 3 mos, or 6 mos or indefinitely - I made my own personal decision to stop taking Coumadin. Will let you know how it goes, but have started a regular cardio and weight training program, and healthy diet with controlled calorie intake around 1500 per day. I feel good about this decision, and time will tell if I have any future issues. But I had a strong personal resolve to stop taking Coumadin. M 54 30 days

 5  Factor 5 Def. P.E. Chronic Ven Insf Have had ups and downs with coumadin, but when I was 18 years old, i suffered a fall in an industrial accident. This caused a clot in my leg. After returning to work for a few weeks, I started having pain in my leg again. When I was at the doctor's office seeing him about the pain, I had a P.E. Since that time i have had numerous clots and due to all major leg veins now being occluded, I wear a compression stocking on that leg and still have experienced about 5 or six ankle ulcers over the years. Some of these took over two years to heal. This has been a long ride with coumadin, but I would n ot be here without it. M 60 42 days
