"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."

"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!"

"Everything that goes into the mouth has to be reviewed for interactions with this drug. It can also cause swelling and hair loss."

"Coumadin is very effective. Home monitoring of INR with finger sticks helped with ease of use."
