Eliquis Satisfied Users (Page 4)
(Newest replies first)

Folks who have problems are quick to get on a site like this one. I would like to hear from some folks who have not had any problems and are satisfied with the medicine. Also, what % of folks have serious side effects.

REPORT

I was on warfarin for about ten years (with two breaks - took clexane both times, once while I was pregnant and breastfeeding), then on to rivaroxaban, then to apixaban. I feel better being off the warfarin and have had only a few side effects with the apixaban (Eliquis) - some nausea (which is tolerable) and insomnia/sleeping issues. They are tolerable as I feel much better, overall, than I did on the warfarin. I am happy with it - and hey, its keeping me alive too, so you know….bonus :)

I really didn't have much of a problem on Eliquis. I did have some hair loss, but wouldn't have stopped the meds for that. Doctor decided clot was better and baby aspirin was safer. I felt absolutely fine while taking the Eliquis. I understand only a small fraction of people have hair loss from this med.

In my experience I think Marty is right about how most users who have a positive experience with meds tend to not feel the need to post, unless it's a unique situation; but when someone has a bad side effect they might be more inclined to go on the internet and see if anyone else has had a similar reaction that they can relate to... Seems to be a part of human nature if you ask me...

One thing that I do feel is important to understand though, is how each individual may react/respond differently due to things like body chemistry, age, weight, diet, dosage, and other personal factors that can influence a person's biochemistry... not only from a physical standpoint but also energetically, as we are all made up of energy.

So as to what percentage of patients experience serious side effects, I'm not sure an accurate answer could be given (namely for the reasons mentioned above) unless it's bound to a smaller select group of people who post on sites like this.

I would like to hear from folks who have had a relatively side effect free experience with Eliquis. The only folks who get on sites like this are those who have a complaint. Isn't their anyone out there who had a terrible free or close to trouble free experience?
