| 4 | DVT | Thinning hair; forgetfulness, and frequent nosebleeds (1 or 2 per day) that stop in few minutes so I don't go to ER although I'm very concerned something is not right. | I just want to know why I get so many nosebleeds and my INR level is on the low side 1.8 to 2.3. | F | 46 | 3 months 7.5mg 1X day | 12/4/2011 | 3 | dvt left calf | Bruising, headache, cold all the time, loss of breath, tired, | F | 18 | 3 months 5, 7.5 | 12/4/2011 | 5 | 2 DVTs and 2 PEs | overall, I don't have many side effects. Sometimes my INR reads higher than I thought it would, but it has been easily remedied with diet and dosage adjustment. I am always cold. If my INR gets too high, I get severe headaches that absolutely nothing can alleviate. At first, I was depressed, but that was due to the situation not the meds. I'm grateful for all it's done to keep me alive and out of the hospital. | F | 31 | 4 years 10 1X day | 11/28/2011 | 2 | 2x multiple pulmonary emboli | At therapeutic doses severe fatigue / feel like I have not slept (although I have)/ irritable/ distracted. | F | 41 | 3 months 17.5mg SID | 11/23/2011 | 1 | mechanical AVR | my brother had fatigue, weakness for last 3 months, progressive worsening headaches for 1 week, INR at 4.5 that day and went to cardiologist in the morning who said everything was OK had a cerebral bleed that night and died!! | M | 59 | 2 years 10 1X day | 11/23/2011 | 1 | 2 DVTs, 2 pulmonary embolisms | Depression, hair loss, foggy memory, complete personality change, irritability, loss of appetite, fatigued. | I'm on coumadin for the rest of my life. I'm not sure if the depression and personality change are symptoms of coumadin or if they're a result of the experience I had with DVTs and embolisms at such a young age. | F | 21 | 6 months 10mg 1X day | 11/21/2011 | 2 | DVGT | loss of memory, hair falling out, loss of words, tiredness and sleepyness, loss of motivation | F | 62 | 100 days 4X day | 11/16/2011 | 4 | Atrial fib | My mother in law sometimes gets diarrhea . She says her fingers hurt. Shes been walking slower than usual. She says she thinks its arthritis. Her bilrubin was elevated today to 3?? | She says she feels good, she has alot of energy. I think she is doing very well. | F | 81 | 2 years 2.5 1X day | 10/19/2011 | 1 | DVT | Hair loss tired all the time, body aches headaches legs hurt a lot. | I hate taking it . I did stop taking it at one time but blood clots got much worse. So have been back on it again for years . I thought it was all just me until I read what others are having the same thing . | F | 73 | 10 years 5mg 1X day | 10/18/2011 | 4 | Atrial Flutter/Afib | Foggy memory, especially short terms as I notice I forget days of the week and events. I have to write things to do list. Heavy menstrual. Brusing on arms and legs which occurs every now and then,ice packs helps. | I'm active person,no drinking/smoking - heavy exercise and caffeine I think put me into Atrial Flutter. Cardioversion twice in 2 mos. I'm researching that magnesium supplement is good for the heart & muscles. I'm also anemic and take Iron & Vit D and Vit C. Will start taking CQ10 and high quality Fish Oils as I want to be off coumadin. IMO, with any drugs its okay to be on meds temporarily depending on what you have it can save your life! DO LOTS OF RESEARCH FOR ALTERNATIVE NATURAL HERBS/SUPPLEMENTS, tell your doctor what your plans are and to work with you to monitor changes. Found this forum helpful, thank you for sharing and GOD Bless us all! | F | 49 | 4 months 6-8 1X day | 10/17/2011 | 3 | Lupus | Memory loss, hair loss, tiredness. | I have been taking Coumadin for long time and did not know any alternatives. Recently my doctor advised me of all side effects of Coumadin. It was shocking to learn how bad this medication affect some people. I am looking into switching to increase dosage of Omega-3 fish oil instead of Coumadin. | M | 41 | 12 years 6 1X day | 10/14/2011 | 4 | 2 pulmonary embolisms | Easy bruising, slow healing. After a recent accident, I was off coumadin for a week and healed really fast. After I went back on it, healing stopped. When I took it at night, I had sleep problems, so I take it in the morning. I bike 20 miles a day and have, if anything, lost a bit of weight. I eat lots of vegetables and my dose deals with that. My INR is pretty steady 2.5-2.7, except when I travel and it goes either up or down to the edge of my range and sometimes beyond. | After my first PE, I was on Coumadin for a year and a half. Since the second, 10 years later, I have been on Barr Warfarin for five and a half years. The symptoms have been similar for me. My hair has gotten a bit thinner and more fragile, but I attribute that to aging. | F | 60 | 5.5 years 5 1X day | 10/10/2011 | 3 | Dvts and PE's | Always tried, numbness in fingers, hands, feet and toes. Aching muscles. Not sleeping well. Weight Gain, heart palpations, out of breath and lack of concentration. Always forgetful. And I have just been diagnosed with mild osteoporosis. | After reading all the comments, I started doing more research. All the symptoms listed are for anemia. Thin blood. The symptoms are real but there is nothing else to treat long term clotting and the side effects do not outweigh the results. It’s a struggle but I will continue to look for alternate treatment for blood clots | F | 52 | 7 years 7.5 1X day | 9/26/2011 | 1 | lost toes on lft foot- blockage | fatigue, low back pain, pain in rt foot and lower right leg | I am quitting this drug as soon as possible | M | 58 | 3 months 10 1X day | 9/25/2011 | 2 | Pulmonary Embolism | Extreme Fatigue, fogginess, forgetfulness | Since beginning Coumadin I have not been able to complete more than 2 days of work a week because I am so tired that I require 12-14 hours of sleep a day in order to feel "normal" | F | 37 | 45 days 7.5 - 11.5 1X day | 9/21/2011 | 4 | dvt | fatigue | M | 60 | 36 days 10 mg 1X day | 9/20/2011 | 3 | Dvt in left calf, groin and pelvis. | I have been able to keep a steady inr on Coumadin. I have experienced hair loss, short term memory loss, think one word but say a different one ( my kids call me out on this frequently), no focus, lose my thoughts mid sentence.Weight gain and gloating. We eat organic, I exercise frequently but I still do not lose the weight. It is embarrassing. I am off of Coumadin for the next two days and switching to Pradaxa. We will see if there are any differences. I really want my memory back.. | F | 44 | 18 months 6mg 1X day | 9/19/2011 | 1 | i had a mech mitral valve in 2000 | stomach promb can not keep level right watch what i eat etc get 1 wk good 2 wks bad pls help i go for bloob evey week | M | 51 | 11 days 7 to 10 1X day | 9/19/2011 | 3 | PE (2) Antiphospholipid Syndrome | Dizzyness, forgetfulness, extreme fatigue, overall weakness, short of breathe hurts when I breathe | I started on lovenox then switched to arixtra for about a year, was tired but not bad. Then they transitioned me to warfarin since I will need to be this for life due to APS. I would break out in a rash about 30 minutes after taking it then I progressively have gotten worse. Forgetting things, blanking out for a second, no focus or concentration, feel extremely tired and overall not feel well. It's impacting my professional career to the point that I had to go back out on disability to find a solution. Doctor switch me to non generic coumadin still feel messed up no rash but overall fatique, foggy etc.. I may lose my job if I don't get better fast and I really don't want to do injections again but that maybe my only recourse. UG! I'm so frustrated and tired of feeling sick. | F | 36 | 3 months 12.5/10 1X day | 9/16/2011 | 1 | 2 DVTs in calf post-hip surgery | Painfully cold, numb, tingling, aching feet. Extreme sensitivity to touch. Inflammation/edema. Fingers constantly cold. Headaches. Nausea. | After taking this drug for two months, my surgeon has agreed to switch me back to heparin. The discomfort associated with the twice daily injections are nothing compared to the pain and agony I have endured while on Coumadin. | F | 51 | 2 months varies 1X day | 9/14/2011 |
