| 3 | pulmonary embolism | forgetful, severeheadaches,eye red and painful,constipation,tire easily | I want my life back,don't fel like socializing. can't read due to eye pain,can't concetrate | F | 66 | 45 days 6mg 1X day | 5/7/2012 | 4 | Dvt in both legs, clotting disorder | I take the generic warfarin. I really haven't noticed any side effects that are bothersome. I bruise a little easier and keeping track of vitamin K intake is kind of a pain. No hair loss or weight gain. | The biggest thing is remembering there are a lot of drug interactions and to ask your hematologist about any med you take including all over the counter meds. Other than that it works great. I could however do with out the INR testing, but better safe than sorry. | F | 35 | 5 years 15-20mg 1X day | 4/24/2012 | 3 | DVT, right leg. | The weight gain has been ridiculous, I have bi-polar depression and it has been 10 times worse than it's ever been.

I wanted to share these. I change my diet, like Bill clinton did. Went unto vegetarian. Most of all, i pray and believe for God healing. I was healed without the medication. You could check with your doctor how changing your diet could reverse your sickness. Do not change your diet without first consult with your doctor. My doctor was impress that my body headed itself. | F | 7 weeks 3mg 1X day | 4/4/2012 | 3 | PE | Big time acne!! weight gain, especially in the middle section. Feel bloated all the time plus hungry! Extremely fatigued and moody. Cant get my level stabilized. It went from being low to being too high that caused blood in my urine. Cant wait to get off of this....question is will I ever be to lose the weight I put on? This sucks!! | F | 38 | 3 months 16mg | 4/2/2012 | 2 | Pulminary Embolism:2 clots in lungs | Weight gain(especially around the stomach),lower back pain every day,feet hurt,hips hurt when sleeping on my sides,fatigue,loss of sleep,anxiety,too tired to exercise | I have talked to my doctors about these side effects & they all say it has nothing to do w/ the Warfarin.If so many people have the same symptoms then how can they say it isn't a side effect.Was taken off of Warfarin even after I told the doctor that I still have shortness of breath. | F | 40 | 4 months 5-7.5mg. 1X day | 4/1/2012 | 4 | dvt,pe | tiredness, forgetfulness,, pain in joints, chest pain,heavy periods headaches funny taste in mouth hair loss weight gain bloating depression etc. | started on coumadin spoke to M.D. about side affects, was told these symptoms are not typical for coumadin users. | F | 44 | 2.7 years 7.5 mg5mg 1X day | 3/30/2012 | 3 | Unprojected Pulmonary Embolism | Weight gain, sluggishness and lower stamina, lapses of memory, aftertaste in mouth in morning, feeling cold at times and numbness in feet(more pronounced in right foot). | Going into the 3rd month of standard 6 month treatment for PE. INR has stayed low (1.4-1.5) tell 5 days ago when it finally checked in at therapeutic level of 2.7. I have tried to exercise more intensely to loose some weight with goal of loosing 15 pounds. Instead have gained about 10. I would hope to get off after 6 months, but with no known cause for my blood clot might have to become a lifer. | M | 65 | 10 weeks 10 MG 1X day | 3/10/2012 | 4 | 2nd time with DVT | Dizzy, foggy, odd pains/sensation in my head, I feel like a bobble head at times, vision disturbance, COLD, and I do not feel like me. I am completely changed by the medicine. I am 5"7 and 155 pounds. This dosage is big and my inr is still only 2.3 I have 3 different dosages that I am typcially on. 7.5mg 3xs a week and 10mg 4 xs a week, 10mg 7xs a week, or 15mg 3xs a week and 10mg 4 times a week. I am going to beg a new dr to try pradaxa...even though I am not on warafin as a result of a heart issue. I deleveloped blood clots twice..10 years apart. I am not overweight, never smoked, never on birth control, and no genetic link. I want to try Pradaxa. I want to eat my veggies the way I want to eat them and to have my head feel like its not going to roll of my shoulders, or get light headed walking up stairs. You know the little normal things we all use to take for granted. Good LUCK to all of you and prayers for your health. | I would love to wake up one day...just one....and actually feel GOOD. | F | 39 | 2 years 10 1X day | 3/7/2012 | 4 | Mechanical Mitral valve | Cold/numb hands/feet (really bad on the feet) takes ages to stop bleeding (thats obvious though) tiredness, nearly all the time (like i want to sleep not feeling like i've ran a mile or six) Depressed, anxious, feelings of impending doom (thinking im going to drop dead any second) | Mechanical mitral valve caused by Rhumatic fever, on Bisoprolol and Ramipril as well, i think these drugs give me worse side effects. I have to take Coumadin/Warfarin FOREVER. Recently i have had a migraine that lasted 7 days (terrible pain for a day then dull pain for next 6 days) and my mind is all 'foggy' i really hope this is unrelated to my warfarin. Having to take it for the rest of my life i would like to get on well with it! Since i lived with knackered heart valves for 12 years and always thought it was fitness related (im a tallish thin guy, never been overweight at all) i've never really known (remembered) what 'normal' feels like. Im no longer tired after walking to town and back (talking feeling like i'd ran a few miles). So my mechanical valve is helping me and i doubt the warfarin is really affecting me as after 15 weeks i only got a migraine and felt 'weird', nothing really before so maybe its my other medication?. | M | 24 | 15 weeks 7.5 1X day | 3/6/2012 | 4 | DVT | Probably saved my life. My experience is similiar. For the first 6 months I had a lack of energy. Mostly caused by inactivity and diet. Inactivity caused a 20 lb weight gain in 7 months. I still experience sensitivity to cold weather. I never have slept much. Though for awhile I did not have any energy. My doctor aid I had a low red blood cell count. So I started taking wheat grass juice and ounce every 2 or 3 days. My energy increased by 80% in the first week. My last blood test was normal for red blood cells 3 weeks ago. When I first started on warfarin I stopped eating vegitables, I didn'k know which ones had vitamin K, so now my colestral is a bit high. My doc has told me to start eating veggies or I'll be on a pill to reduce the colestral. So my current plan is to cut meat down to 5% of what I was eating and that is still alot. Increase veg intage by juicing and drinking the veggies. My doc told me today that I would be on warfarin for the rest of my life. Maybe we will see in a y | M | 62 | 350 days 5 1X day | 2/29/2012 | 1 | a-fib | fatigue, leg pain. was diagnoses with sciatica. I also take neurotin. cannot sleep well, and take something for that.Needing to get some teeth pulled but am afraid of going off coumadin for the couple of days required. | do not like it and wish I had researched it more before I put the first tablet in my mouth.... do not have insurance to go ot many doctors or to the cardilogist. | F | 63 | 4 years 1 to 1 1/2 1X day | 2/29/2012 | 2 | afib | skeletal pain | M | 76 | 5 years 5 1X day | 2/28/2012 | 1 | P E | Hair loss, light headed, bruise easily, feel sick, leg pain after sitting, confusion, vertigo, after taking meds puts me into deep sleep to were my husband can't wake me up. I don't feel like my self. The very worst part is always being cold. I can never get warm. | F | 27 | 3 weeks 7.5 | 2/28/2012 | 3 | Bilateral PE's | Always cold! I have a hard time remembering names, this did not happen before I started coumadin. Had to go down to San Diego for evaluation for PTE surgery and was switched over to lovenox before I left. Due to some reaction with coumadin and lovenox, I ended up in the ER puking up a total of 5 units of blood. Almost didn't make it. | I have not been having side effects such as hair loss or pain, but I'm still not a fan of the drug. I ended up having the PTE surgery, and will be on coumadin for the rest of my life. I'm trying to find better alternatives! This all happened when I was 18-19. But then again, it could always be worse! | M | 20 | 1.5 years alt. 5/7.5 1X day | 2/24/2012 | 4 | P Embolism | Tingling and weakness on extremeties including back of head, arms and legs. Fatigue and nausia has occured but has leveled out. Can tell when the INR is high as the fatigue and nausia increases. Can almost adjust the dosage based on the fatigue level. | Hope to be off soon or have alernate drugs. GL all. | M | 49 | 6 months 9 1X day | 2/19/2012 | 3 | dvt pe | Suffered dvt and pe a month ago and I'm only twenty. Warfarin makes me be cold very easily so cold to the point I could cry sometimes I cannot bear being outside . I also have been feeling very anxious, and increased hunger. Disturbed sleep like I'm wide awake. | F | 20 | 1 months 3 | 2/18/2012 | 1 | Aortic Valve Replacement | Tiredness, dizzyness, foggyness, mood swings, hair loss, nausea, vertigo, headaches, menstrual hemoraging, diahorrea, weight gain | Horrible drug. I do wish I had been given all the options at the time of my surgery, as knowing what I know now I would have demanded a bovine valve. Even though most days I am glad to still be here, considering I also had to have an emergency aortic aneurysm repair, most days are so bad that I wish I wasnt. At least I get to see my kids grow up which is a blessing and the only thing that gets me through the worst days. Any suggestions on alternative therapies would be appreciated. | F | 41 | 3 MG 1X day | 2/14/2012 |
