Apixaban "I take Eliquis at night (5mg) and wondered if anyone else has to get up to urinate 4-5 times at night. Did not see this on the side effects."

Apixaban "Extremely expensive. $480.00 for a month supply. Like most, I feel like rubbish all the time. No energy. Bristol-Myers is just a big company ripping us off. I'm going back to aspirin."

Apixaban "No problems with it. Glad I don't need to do monthly blood tests like Coumarin. I had to go off pain medication for arthritis due to the risk of bleeding, so that is a problem."
