After a mild stroke, I have been taking aggrenox and lipitor. I have felt tired and without ambition or motivation. My sense of taste has changed making many foods distasteful.

I have been taking Aggrenox for three weeks. The first 7 days I had headaches after taking the morning capsule. Two days they were like migraine. After that, no headaches. I took Tylonol for the headaches.

My father had a TIA in 2004 and was prescribed aggrenox. He had migrain headaches and severe nausea for the first 3 weeks. He then developed bloody stools and severe stomache pain. Once taken off the drug the by the ER Resident the symptoms diminished. He's left with mild nausea and diverticulitis as a result of this. This drug was too strong and his doctor ignored his symptoms.

I have been taking aggrenox for one and a half years since they discovered i had two TIA's and at first my arms were so heavy. I had a lot of headaches and overall didnt feel well but after about 2-3 weeks i was back to normal. I had to stop taking it for surgery for 1 week but was fine once i resumed it. i would strongly recommend sticking it out because the risk is higher than anything else.

Only been on it 2 weeks. As long as I take it with a full glass of water and sit up at least 30 minutes after taking, no headache or nausea. I hope this will work cause I have had 4 TIA in the last two weeks (and two strokes, one last year, one five years ago).

The first time I tried this drug it made me deathly ill. I had headaches, vomitting, diahrea. Then stopped taking it. Dr. prescribed it 3-4 months later, I tried it one time and it gave me a severe migraine with nausea. Stopped taking it again.
