User Reviews for Eliquis oral

Swelling in feet, ankles and legs, lost weight and tiredness

Been on this for 6 months I get headaches from time to time and also forget a lot of thing from time to time.

caused my mother to go blind blood clot in eye

I started taking eliquis 4 yrs ago for AFib now I have short term memory loss; just discovered memory loss is a side effect.

I have been taking Eliquis, 5mg two times per day since 02-2018. I was taken to hospital and had mini-stroke. Dr. put me on Eliquis and Clopidogrel. Ihave shortness of breath with Eliquis, overall tiredness. headaches. Bruise very easily. Have to be extremely careful not to cut myself. Cut my arm last July while on vacation. Bought blood stop powder and plenty of bandaids. Took about three days for it to finally stop bleeding. Mostly concerned about shortness of breath. I like to bicycle, work out in the yard. Wonder if others have had these reactions. Read More Read Less

Been taking since stroke 2 years ago. Was taking xarelto prior and before that coumanden. No problems. If cost is prohibitive, there is a card you can get online which brings the cost down to $15.00. Have been on blood thinners all my life, without them I would surely die. I do sometime have joint pain, never attributed it to my meds.

Iâ??ve only been taking for 5 days but so far so good. Iâ??m taking 10mg twice a day for a pulmonary embolism and havenâ??t had any side effects. To be fair though, I currently have a cold so hard to tell if body aches from meds or being sick at moment. Hopefully unrelated. Downside of med is that itâ??s twice a day at same time. Iâ??ll likely be on this Med for a long time so Iâ??ll come back and add review if anything changes.

Since I've been taking this I've had bad headaches & blurry eyesight, I'm going to let my surgeon know about this tomorrow, the reason I'm on this because I'm in dialysis, and there was blockage on my port, it kept getting blocked, & nothing seemed to keep it going. I'm afraid that this is something I'm going to have to live with. I have an appointment with my eye doctor next week.

I have been taking this drug for over a year and while it is much better than having to do the blood test with Wafarin, I have noticed severe joint pain, sore feet and overall decreased flexibility in joints and tendons/ligaments. Anyone else have similar symptoms?

On this for just about two weeks. Tired all the time, taking this post stroke and Dr. wanted me to exercise. That’s impossible because I feel exhausted all the time. I’m sure this works well for some people but it is making me very uncomfortable, I have breathing problems especially at night that I never had before and I just feel lethargic. Taking 5 mg twice a day, trying to get my doctor to adjust it. If not I’m going to look for another alternative treatment. It’s not worth living like this.Read More Read Less

Started Eliquis 5mg 2x a day. Short after Hive like rash, Then Trouble Breathing and getting my Breath, Just Weak feeling and can not do anything like working in the yard without shortness of breath and feeling weak. Then Blood in STOOL. But Hey...No stroke...Starting Xarelto tomorrow and see what that poison does to me.

I went into the ER for a double pulmonary embolism. I "woke up" 3 weeks later. I was in the hospital for 4 wks., 3 of which I don't remember. ELIQUIS caused my adrenal glands to hemorrhage which in turn caused damage to my kidneys. I now have Addison's Disease and stage 3B Kidney Disease. I am no longer employable because of these long term affects and there I nothing I can do about it. So.....Don't take ELIQUIS it's not worth the risk!!

Fatigue and lower back pain.

When my Afib was diagnosed, I was put on Zarelto. After a taking this for a week, I developed blood in urine. Stopped immediatly and I was then put on Eliquis. I have no side effects even while taking drugs for the Afib. Have been on Eliquis for over a year.

I was placed on Eliquis 3 weeks ago because of newly diagnosed atrial flutter (not yet A-fibrillation) in order to prevent blood clots or stroke. I can't say that I've had any bad side effects that I'm aware of, other than a little more bruising than usual and a little drop of blood or two if I blow my nose too vigorously. Haven't been on the drug long enough to say whether or not it has worked for me, but I will soon have an EP study (electrophysiology) and, depending on the results, will probably undergo radiofrequency ablation to the target area. Hoping I can discontinue the Eliquis after that; my cardiologist didn't say that, but a physician friend said that this might be possible. In the meantime, I'm going to stay positive! Good luck and good health to you all :) Read More Read Less

I started to take Eliquis 2 months ago. After a month and the half I started to have joint pains and some swelling. The symptoms will go from one join to another (hands;knees;feet;jaw). In the past week, I had pain in all my joints in the fingers;knees;feet;under my feet. The pain went up little by little, mostly during the day and now during the night. I am taking 1000mg of acetaminophen 3 time a day. I went to see the Doctor yesterday and we decide to stop Eliquis. Look like this is due to a Eliquis side effect. Look like all this started, about 3 weeks ago when I was traveling, I was tired and I got cold in a place not well heated! I am trying to get more rest now, I am back home!Read More Read Less

Okay comment # 2 ....I was on ELIQUIS for 5 1/2 days ,took 12 doses .I got severe lower back pain after 4 doses .after taking an echo card. and a discussion with my doctor about the back pain ,he told me to stop taking it ...thank you JESUS ! And by the way my monthly co-pay with a good med advantage plan would have been $207.00 per month ! I am now back to coated aspirin !

I only started this last FRI. evening after getting home from my doctors office . Took 1 pill that evening ...2 Sat. ...2 SUN ...2 MON SO ,I don't know if it works on me or not yet! What I do know is that I got a severe lower back ache starting SUNDAY evening .I am going back to the doctor on WEDS to get a ECHO and have a HALTER put on for 24 hours . I will then ask him about the backache ( not muscles but seems like my lower spine ! Anyone else experience this ?

I have been on apixaban for 12 months , but the last 9 months I have been in slot of pain in my legs, neck head and arm, had all sorts estate scans M R I scans, but I have said it was the apixaban, so they are taking me off it for awhile, and going back on warfarin for a while to see if all the pain goes, blurred vision as well, not happy with it, Helen..

I had a stroke while was sleeping one night. was on just aspirin and had another small stroke 2 years later.Dr. added Eliquis and it has been a year and so far no more strokes ! I have not had any problems at all with it.Plus no food restrictions!
