For Deep Vein Thrombosis "I'm 21. Despite being active, managed to get a DVT in the last weeks of pregnancy. Was on Fragmin injections, then was swapped to this tablet, 5 mg twice a day. Not noticed any physical changes to my affected leg, swelling is still apparent. Feel dizzy and on the verge of fainting more than three times a day... that's the side effect I have had."

For Deep Vein Thrombosis "I've been on Eliquis for a little over a month now. Started on the 7 days, 20 mg, and am now on the 10 mg dose until Oct. I sometimes feel dizzy or get mild headaches while on it. The headaches come and go. I can't wait to be off it."

For Deep Vein Thrombosis "Been on this med, Eliquis, for almost 2 months, but also going through chemo. Been having dizziness and feeling lightheaded. I attributed it to chemo, but after reading other reviews, can't rule out that Eliquis may be the problem."

For Deep Vein Thrombosis "I used it once for DVT while in the hospital. Experienced severe dizziness and headache on the left side of my head all day and an overall ill feeling. I decided not to take it. I used Xarelto in the past for PE with no major side effects and will most likely go back to this."

For Deep Vein Thrombosis, Prophylaxis "I had a heart valve replacement in January '01. Although the Eliquis TV commercials explicitly state NOT to be used by artificial heart valve recipients, my cardiologist prescribed it at 5 mg twice daily. The first month was okay, then I was getting dizzy spells and loss of balance when standing and walking. I reviewed the side effects online and found that Eliquis can cause vertigo. My daily life is miserable. I told my doctor, but he refuses to change the script or to cut back on the dosage. I guess it is effective against my Afib as I have no known sessions, but.....my quality of life is nil..."

For Deep Vein Thrombosis "Been on Eliquis for about a month, and they found a blood clot in my vein leading to my ovary, which is now gone, but the side effects are horrible. I’ve been extremely tired, no energy, headaches, gaining weight, swollen ankles and legs, dizzy, can’t concentrate. Was taking 10 mg in the morning and 10 mg at night, which was even worse because I felt like passing out, blood pressure dropped real low, and I was really dizzy, so they cut it down to 5 mg in the morning and 5 mg at night, so side effects didn’t change much. I want off this medicine."
