"After two stents and medication right leg (least obstructed) improvement in 48 hrs. Left leg pain drastically reduced and mobility returning. Sleeping better. Have been on this medication (with aspirin) for one week. Very optimistic, haven't felt this good in years."

"Lots of bruising and bleeding. The worst part now is hives every day, only on one side of my body. It didn’t do anything to help after stents. My legs both got worse after surgery, and Plavix didn’t stop the stents from clogging up. I keep taking it until I see my PCP next week to see what to do. The vascular surgeon isn’t much help."

"5 months ago, I started feeling a heartburn-like pain in the AM. Without any questions, I called the EMS. Less than a half hour later, I was told I was having a heart attack. Two stents later, at 81% clogged arteries, I was told Plavix and aspirin would be with me forever. To this day, it has been working GREAT."

"I've been taking Plavix 75 and a baby aspirin for 9 months now after stent placement in the back of my heart. So far, no side effects except bruising. I am 65 years old, male with heart disease. Can't take any statins because they cause too much leg muscle pain."
