For Deep Vein Thrombosis, Prophylaxis "Better than Lovenox, only once a day, and it doesn't sting as much. Additionally, I have less nausea and tiredness on it than I did with either Lovenox or Coumadin. However, the nausea is still not great. I am looking forward to switching to Pradaxa and eliminating the need for shots, and hopefully, the nausea."

For Deep Vein Thrombosis "I was on Arixtra for 2 years after failing Lovenox and Eloquis. When I paid for my own insurance ($1,600 a month), my insurance covered it. But now that I am disabled and on Medicare, my copay is $630 a month. They put me on warfarin and they can’t stabilize. Makes me feel sick. Tightening to get back on Arixtra, it worked great for me."

For Deep Vein Thrombosis "Using this drug for over 2 years after bilateral DVT and PE with HITT. No need to worry about foods I eat and worries about clotting times. Wish it was a pill versus an injection. Happy it has kept me stable."

For Pulmonary Embolism "Using this med as a last resort. With all the other blood thinners I had the reaction of extrame muscle and joint pain. The med doesn't do that, but it does make me quite fatigued. I am now using Mondofinial to relieve the fatigue and it works fairly well. Overall my life is fairly balanced, but wish there wasn't;t quite so much fatigue"

For Deep Vein Thrombosis "I have been on Arixtra for 4 years now and am in law school. I had tried all the other medications for DVTs and pulmonary embolism, which I have had both, and this is the only one that allows me to have a normal life."
