Reactions to Plavix

[Pevon]

I'm new at this. I was on Plavix after having a stent placement. Within 3 weeks I began "itching". None of the doctors seemed to be able to help me and eventually I became totally fatigued, difficulty maintaining balance, vision problems, edema, periorbital edema. Finally, my cardiologist assistant recognized that these were adverse reactions to Plavix and I stopped it. I have been off Plavix for about one month. The itching has finally stopped, balance has returned, but I have extreme weakness in my legs. Vision is fine but I still have the periorbital edema. I am still somewhat fatigued. Does anyone know how long it takes for the adverse effects to reverse or do they? I would appreciate any help or responses to my query. Thank you

I don't doubt your symptoms at all but I've never seen anyone have such severe reactions to Plavix before that I remember. I've taken it as well since the 90s. I've never had any side effects. Hope you start feeling better soon. God bless.
