"I would like to know if anyone else on Eliquis has experienced the following while on this med. I have had a 12-pound weight gain in three months, a cough that won’t go away, gout, balance issues, and serious joint pain. Am I the only one? Are others experiencing some of the same? Every day I wake up, my weight is up two more pounds. I am very tired all the time. Help, I feel like I am going nuts, and the doctors think I am a hypochondriac."

"This medicine is poison, pure and simple. Had a total knee replacement 2 months ago and developed more clots in my right calf. Taken off Plavix for recently placed heart stent and put on Eliquis 2.5 mg morning and night. Yes, I do have hemorrhoids, which can bleed (exacerbated by blood thinners), but not as bad as the rectal bleed I experienced 1 hour ago. I am so alarmed that I will pray and continue to take 81 mg aspirin until I can talk to the doctor on Monday. The manufacturers of this med deliberately tried to deceive the FDA regarding clinical trial results. And yes, doctors ARE paid to prescribe this poison over other similar drugs."

"The medicine was fine, although the price is something I couldn't afford. So now I'm back in the hospital with another blood clot. When I had insurance, it wasn't a problem to get, but when I lost my insurance, I couldn't afford it."

"I just had a knee replacement last week. Drug makes me frightened going to sleep. I wake up, it feels like all my blood in my body is pooled. Not moving around. A day after I got home, my blood pressure dropped extremely. It was 75/44. Blurred vision. Clammy, shortness of breath. I finally snapped out of it with deep calm breathing. This drug is awful."

"This drug has caused my tongue to swell and my teeth to rub against it, causing canker sores. The sores, after a month and $500.00 at a drugstore, never got better until I got off Eliquis. Go figure! I am better off without Eliquis and plan to never use this drug again."
