User Reviews for Eliquis oral

I had a cardioversion, they then put me on Eliquis. After 2-3 days I started having nausea. They did a ablation on a Thursday, prescribed new blood pressure med, off of metroprolol, also added a anti acid med. after taking one tablet , within 30 minutes I had every side effect listed! I have follow up Friday with a P.A. Asked to see my heart doc, no, only every three years! Not sure what to do!

After having covid very bad dec21, got a pulmonary embolism, was put on apixaban for 6 months. Am now off them. No issues with bruising at all, if i got small cut it would bleed for 20 minutes and the scab that formed would be so soft and come off easily so would bleed a day or so later. And one very weird thing I noticed. That grey-yellow slime that builds up around your toothbrush holder, that completely stopped for the whole 6 months, was replaced with a very small amount of a strange black crusty stuff. Minute i came off the thinners, the usual grey-yellow slime was back. Very strange. Read More Read Less

Been on it several years, congestive heart failure, lots of blockages. Recently bladder bleeding problems also on arms and legs. Have decided to get off it and take my chances, my choice my life.

I am diagnosed with Heart Failure, Fatale Arrhythmia and Chronic fatigue. I took my first dose 30 hours ago. My current BP is 94/78. This is the best I’ve felt in nearly three decades. Last night I got the best sleep and rest I have had since I was a young man in my twenties. (I am 53 taking 5mg of Eliquis twice a day now with several other heart related medications.) It took eight hours for my body to notice the stunning shocking and incredible improvement to how I felt and was functioning. Then my BP test was the proof. This prescription was the result of data from a ICD Defibrillator, detecting long episodes of Atrial fibrillation more frequently. Cardiologist Stacey and Daniel Dooley prescribed the medication Friday morning, and I am here writing this review Saturday evening. Eliquis is a truly outstanding contribution to medicine. (I probably should have been on this medication since 2010, not I don’t think it existed then.) It’s a miracle pill in my book. Strongly recommend it. Read More Read Less

Eliquis didn’t work for me. Switched to Eliquis after 10 years on Warfarin for leg DVT. After 6 months started getting clots in both legs. Switched to Pradaxa and got rashes after one day. I’m back on Warfarin.

After a minor stroke I was given a choice of blood thinners. I chose Eliquis because it was better for bleeding problems. I also have chronic afib. My biggest complaint is the red marks on my arms and legs that happen when I barely touch anything and especially in the summer when clothing isn’t long. The marks take about two weeks to lighten. I have had bleeding issues on my arms and legs because the skin seems so thin. Cost is outrageous and I only get one prescription before I go into the gap. I also ask my doctor for samples which last about a month.Read More Read Less

No side effects. Feel it keeps me alive. Just wish it was cheaper.

My husband was prescribed this after being diagnosed with AFib around November 2020. He had a stroke at work on 6/6/22 and died 6/10/22. He was only 45.

My satisfaction and effectiveness ratings are due only to me being a recent new user, therefore I have no measure. I started this medication about 12 days ago after my groin stent placement. During this period, I have found myself having a little difficulty getting the right words out when speaking. I also feel tired more than usual, and 2 days ago began experiencing serious dizziness. Will be meeting with my PCP tomorrow, and my Cardiologist next week when I will discuss these effects.

AFib, fell on knee developed large hematoma in leg required wound vac, 3 surgeries and softball sized skin graft on knee, dizziness and weakness , cost is prohibitive (90 days $420 ) cannot recurve help due to being on Medicare part D , which is unfair.

Way too many Side Effects, such as Can't walk over 15 Feet without getting Dizzy and have to Sit Down, Also because of Weak Legs and Arms and I felt like I was going to pass out.

Male 58 have been taking Apixaban 5mg twice a day for the past two months for my a/fib, I haven’t noticed any side effects, I did cut myself shaving and cut my hand at work bleeding was just the same as it was before I started taking Apixaban which made me wonder if this drug was doing it’s job and actually thinning my blood, something to mention to my doc next time I visit .

I’m a 47 yo active, firefighter, male. Hx of a-fib, and dvt 5 years ago. Dr put me on 5mg 2xdaily for clot prevention during my last a-fib episode, about 3 weeks ago. I can certainly tell that I’m fatigued all the time, as well as vision, and trouble focusing. These are not normal issues for me. I have a follow up in a couple weeks, and will talk to the Dr. Personally I’d rather deal with these issues for the time being, and not have a stroke, PE, or another DVT.

Just started this 4 days ago. So far so good and no ED issues.

I think this med is dangerous and taken off the market. I had no strength all I could do was sleep. I had hives and my lips swelled up so bad I couldn't eat also my finger got scratched on a edge on my lawnmower very minor and it took THREE days before I could get it to stop bleeding.

ijus starte this and i havent exsperienced anything yet upset tummy could be not eating im on it for DVT lazyness sitting on my arse to long ill give more ingo it anything else

I’ve been on Eliquis for 4 months now, due to a P.E. My blood clot has left (very grateful for that) However, I have to take medication for 6 months total. Side effects terrible ... headaches, shortness of breath, chest pain and joint pain. It made me feel like I had another P.E .. But I don’t want to complain because I am grateful Eliquis saved me!

So so

Given to my mother for Afib; about 2 weeks after taking she had 2 strokes back to back leaving her bedridden. She also had bleeding from the eyes after she came home from having strokes on hospice. I would not recommend this for Afib ever.

Went in hospital in fall for a hysterectomy... woke up w blood clots in lungs.... after brief hospital stay put me on eliquis 10mg in morning and 10mg in evening.... 3months later they dropped me to 5mg in morning 5mg in evening.... get randomly tired here and there... and get brain fog here and there. Also weird muscle aches in back. Just went for ct 6months later as I was having lung pain again... clots gone. yay! But keeping me on eliquis for preventative... hoping they drop dosage soon. May keep me on for life, not sure u want that. Read More Read Less
