Brilinta (ticagrelor) "This is a terrible medication in my opinion with ramifications that go well beyond lack of energy, breathing problems and dietary restrictions. The company even advises users not to shave with a blade. That should tell you enough. There are also a multitude of medications for which Brilinta is contraindicated. If you suffer from sciatic pain the only medication you can use is OxyCodine or a similar narcotic with terrible chances of becoming addicted. Prescribing doctors need to do much more research prior to writing a script for this med. Even many pharmacologists warn about Brilinta."

Brilinta (ticagrelor) "After a heart attack and stent placement, I've taken this for about six weeks. Side effects seem to be extreme shortness of breath. Between refills, I ran out and went two days without it. Those were the only two days since that I've felt like myself and had any energy or strength, the difference was like night and day."
