Edoxaban "I was scheduled for cardio version to treat A-fib. I stopped taking 48 hours before the procedure. I was told the treatment would take 2 hours and I must lie flat for a total of 4 hours. Well, 10 1/2 hours later, I was still lying flat from severe bleeding in my bladder - not even where the incision was made. I was allowed to go home the next day. The doctor's PA told me to start back up right away on Savaysa to prevent a stroke. I did, even though I disagreed. In less than 6 weeks, I began to have double vision and lost the use of my left leg. My husband insisted I go to the emergency room. Long story short, a brain scan found two bleeding brain masses, and I was flown to a hospital in Phoenix where I remained 8 days."

"Have had AF (atrial fibrillation) since aortic valve changed in 2011, age 65. I feel great, only mild AF at night. Now have a leaking mitral valve, age 72. Still feel great, but get a bit tired. Doctor persuaded me to go onto anticoagulants due to stroke risk. So now I'm on edoxaban, they wanted me to start warfarin, which I was not interested in. So far, no side effects 2 months on. Seem to pass water, more water at night. No aches and pains, no bleeding, some bruising at start of taking this. After reading all the feedback on the other anticoagulants, which are appalling, I feel I may be lucky with this, otherwise, I will come off this and go back to the baby aspirin which I used to take, but won't help with a stroke with A.F. Also take milled flax seeds, large serving spoon a day, turmeric 600 mg tabs, and garlic 1000 mg tab. Recently had 8 weeks of radiotherapy, advanced prostate cancer. Still feel great. Just back from Benidorm."

"It seems to have helped with my AF, but I have gained over a stone in weight since taking this medication. I take 60 mg and have very little energy."
