Ranolazine for Angina "I am on Ranexa 1000 mg since 1 year now. I still have pain in my chest and arm, plus serious constipation and terrible memory loss. It's short-term memory loss I am talking about, like going for a glass of water from the fridge and forgetting halfway why I walked up to there."

Ranolazine for Angina "I had a cardiac cath in September 2013. I was diagnosed with heart failure, a blockage that cannot be repaired, and obstructive cardiomyopathy, also two heart attacks. Before Ranexa, I was in a lot of pain. I take 1000 mg twice a day. Although I do have some pain, Ranexa has helped a lot and given me some relief. My doctor said that was normal with my conditions, but I have gotten some relief."

Ranolazine for Angina "I still have some pain in my throat and jaw at times, but rarely did I get chest pain since being on Ranexa 750 mg twice a day. I used to wake up in the night with the most horrendous pain, and since taking these, it's not happened once. I couldn't even talk in sentences without getting breathless, now that's better too. I'm lucky enough that I live in the UK, and we have a National Health Service, however, even if I had to get a private prescription, these would cost me around £60 per month, which I would most happily pay."

Ranolazine for Angina "Had a stent put in, and another needs to be put in, but they can't get the wire to it. Trying to fix it with medication, and it is working. I've been having pains, thinking it's angina. I've been taking 500 mg twice a day, and it's working. No more pains. That was in December. Had already met my max payout. Now it's January, and now they want $359.00 for one month and almost $1,000.00 for three months. Too expensive for me. Sorry! Good medication, but I'm NOT paying that."

For Angina "I was put on ranolazine, generic of Renaxa, for myocardial bridging in my heart. Large blood vessels are supposed to lay on top of the heart, mine goes through a layer of my heart. It is believed when you exert yourself, it presses on the large blood vessels, diminishing blood flow. I now am getting angina. I take 500 mg twice daily. No constipation, coffee does the trick. I also am getting ringing in my ears from this medication. I also take baby aspirin, Metoprolol 25 mg twice daily, Plavix 75 mg for a stent in my left coronary artery that is 90% blocked. My RCA is 50% blocked. They put me on rosuvastatin, a statin, but terrible leg pain, same as with Lipitor. Right now, I am taking red yeast rice, which acts like a statin but is not a chemical. Hoping this works. No more statins for me."

Ranolazine for Angina "I have used Ranexa for two years as prescribed by my Cardiologist. It has given me an almost pain-free life from angina. I can walk several miles now, whereas before I would get angina in a few blocks."
