Eliquis - Very tired, fell like I am going to pass out, I have to rest ?

Are you feeling better? was the meds changed??

I have been on Eliquis for two weeks and am so tired that I can't stay awake, but that is better than the memory loss I had with xalerto. The Eliquis also makes me distracted or absent minded - that's the best way I can think to describe it. I fell yesterday for the first time in ten years because I forgot a parking bumper was in my path. That was oa walk I take every day.

I too am very tired and have a lot of joint pain. Can't hardly get through the day without 6 tylenol. I can't focus my thoughts either. I am going to my doctor Friday.

I have been on Eliquis for 6 months . Found out today I can come off it . Hallelujah!!! Side effects include exhaustion , insomnia, mental fog, and craving for carbs and sweets which I never cared for before which resulted in a 15 lb weight gain .

I just got off Eliquis after 6 months for a pulmonary embolism. My effects while being on this drug were muscle aches, arms going numb, extreme tiredness and a 22 pound weight gain. I am active, a hiker and kayak-er, work full time and have three children. Hoping that all is back to normal very soon.

I'm taking Eliquis, and I'm always tired, dizzy, and I pass out. Oh yes, I reported all these side-effects and many more to the doctor... actually to the doctor's physician assistant since you never see a doctor anymore, only a clone who is a nurse practicing medicine by staring at a computer screen that tells her what to do, what to prescribe, and so on. So yes, I reported all these horrendous side-effects of taking Eliquis on a special visit to the office to do just that. Her response, "It's all in your head, these drugs are safe." And then she sent me home to die, and dying is what I am doing now. One of the dangers of Eliquis is cancer. Guess what I am dying of? To hell with doctors. I went from the tennis court to the wheelchair because of those charlatans. So I'm just another fatality of the medical-pharmaceutical industry and their safe poisons. Try to sue the doctor. Juries will typically hold against you. Because no one has the right to sue Almighty God.

My Dr. switched me to Eliquis from lovenox about two months ago. It makes me dizzy, short of breath, crave carbs, extremely tired, lack of interest and severely depressed right after chemo. I have stage 4 colon cancer and thought it might be the chemo and/or cancer. I have also read that it may cause colon cancer and my first thought was, why on earth would my oncologist have me take this stuff. I know they consider me terminal but what the hell! With what time I do have I want to make it as great as possible. When I talked to my oncologist he said he had never heard of those problems, so I kept taking it. Due to circumstances I missed 2 days of taking it and started feeling MUCH better I have now stopped taking it and gone back to my lovenox shots until I see my oncologist again. Life is to short to feel like CRAP ALL THE TIME!!!

I’ve been on 5 mg for a week for DVT. I can’t function with Side effects. I saw Doctor and nothing was changed. Joint pain , weakness, can’t eat without getting sick . Newest is severe headache that gets worse when I lay back down . I can barely get out of bed. Should I go to ER?

Hey ddsg! I'm no doctor but it sounds like they are side effects. If you have good insurance and it won't cost you an arm and a leg I would say go to the ER just to make sure something else isn't going on. It also might show your doctor that you are serious about the problem. Remember you pay the Doctor... they are working for you... if they are not making you feel better then they are not doing a very good job. There are lots of doctors out there and lots of blood thinners. Life is to short to go thru life feeling sick all the time

I have contacted my doctor about these side effects from eliquis 5mg twice daily and she did nothing n acts like it's no big deal which scares me. Any suggestions?
