"Put on Coumadin in 2008 after DVT, which ultimately turned out to have been caused by a hereditary clotting disorder (Factor V Leiden). No problems or side effects since, works like a charm. I self-test every 2 weeks with a Roche PT/INR handheld blood test kit and manage to stay in therapeutic range about 95% of the time. Couldn’t ask for much better!"

"I am a male, 62 years old. I got a blood clot the entire length of my saphenous vein. I was put on generic warfarin first at 2.5 mg/day. I felt sweaty, had headaches, and felt depressed. This went on for two weeks until I read reviews about Coumadin on this site. I switched to Coumadin. My INR stabilized, the sweats went away, and the headaches went away in about 10 days. I know that Coumadin and warfarin are supposed to be chemically the same molecule. I propose that the objective differences between these two drugs can most likely be accounted for by considering that one may have more pure isomers than the other."
