My back surgery...

[tekkydiver]

I stopped taking Eliquis about a month ago. I just didn't have any symptoms associated with a pulmonary edema, so I stopped it. I've been second guessing that decision all month, and I'm so thankful that everything had been resolved.

If you had a PE you might want to consider asking the Hemotologist if it's time to stop anti coagulants. DOACs such as Eliquis serve to dissolve any residual clots.

I was taken off of Eliquis as when I bled the blood resembled dyed water w/fine sand settled on the bottom. I now use Xarelto that doesn’t give me that problem. It was prescribed for my AFIB. What a weird thing for an Rx to do.

I stopped taking Eliquis about a month ago.

With your doctor's agreement? I have taken coumadin in the past at times of need and hated the bruising & risks. I take a few meds to deal with clotting risks now. I had to stop a couple for a few days this week as I had a leg angiogram this morning. The leg felt so much better by the time I woke up.

I now use Xarelto that doesn’t give me that problem.

That's a very expensive medication. I hope your insurance covers it well. If not, I get it directly from a Indian pharmacy, which gets it cheap from the local licensed factory that supplies US pharmacies. Generics are not allowed here but they are there so I get them for 21¢ each instead of 10$. let me know if you'd like to know more.

It is pricey. My work insurance w/B + B s makes a difference. I didn’t want to take it as I took aspirin. My cardio doc put me on it. $15.00 for 3 months.

Not only are they cheap but no self-serving evil conniving PBMs to deal with either. You can get instant refills too. All thanks to you.

The hematologist wanted me off after only 3 months. I bowed to the pulmonologist.

Yeah, I've had to give up on aspirin and ibuprofen totally and I don't think Tylenol is very rewarding but I settle for it as needed. That's a great intro price on Xarelto. I'm pretty proud of finding $12.60/month. I hope that your maintenance cost is affordablee.

Not on Xarelto. Takes about a month.

My Rx is for my AFib….taking it for life. The Eliquis is worse. So far episodes are not very frequent from going to the gym, but I will have the arrhythmia for life, a stroke risk if I don't take it..

You don’t have to wait for them to contact you. You can simply reorder immediately. As long as your Rx is valid, they let you do it.

Geez...I just started taking Eliquis. This sounds like it could be fun.
Plus just started seeing an oncology cardiologist at the Mayo - the guy looks his mom should drive him to work. I have a new drug from him - it sounds like manoloblahnik, but I'm pretty sure it's something else.
