On Coumadin for 30 years in Sept. These reviews are AMAZING! People using words like; "annoyed" with the drug. Try stroke, now THAT is annoying. (Done it) "I can't eat what I want when I want to".... u can eat, it just takes planning. Try being a diabetic! Coumadin has saved my LIFE. It can save yours, or keep you from having a stroke or PE. Read the INSERT on your prescription. COUMADIN will NOT;...

I take coumaden and not the generic warfarin. My side effects are fatigue, waking up anxious, and hair loss. My main complaint is that it seems to have affected my personality, making me more worried, anxious, depressed. I take 7.5 mg per day, and have for over one year. I had a bad case of pulmonary embolisms, blood clots that went from left leg, through heart to lungs which started me of...

Since beginning treatment for DVT, I have had continuing problems with diarrhea. I follow all guidelines and am regulary monitored by my physician and am within recommended levels for INR. I have discussed with my physician and other care providers but feel that I am "blown off" with my concerns. There are now a number of my family members on anticoagulant therapy and we all have the samne problem. What is going on? I never had this difficulty prior to my DVT diagnosdis and subsequent therapy. It is a serious life stye concern. Help!!!Read More Read Less

On this for 8 weeks and still can't get the right dose. I am very tired and my joints and muscles hurt all the time. No one seems to want to address this. I developed this clot after a heart cath which I hope to never do again. I was the 1 in a 1000 this happened too. The most painful thing I have ever experienced. I hope you never go thru that.

I was given Coumadin oral in the hospital because of afib. I stay dizzy, kinda disoriented at times, swelling, bloated, just to name some of my side effects. I don't like this drug because I can feel the changes in my body.

I have been using Coumadin (warfarin sodium) for more than 25 years with very few side effects. I try to keep my INR at 2.5. When it goes higher I experience dizziness – I have to be careful that I don’t confuse this symptom with dizziness caused by Labyrinthitis. The key to the safe use of this drug is testing at least every six weeks.
