Transition Eliquis to Plavix?

I had the Watchman 2 days ago b/c of fall risks - I’m 76 with CP since birth. It was outpatient & I’m only having soreness in my right leg at the injection site. His NP said I’m more sore b/c of my petite size. I’ll stay on Eliquis 45 days, switch to Plavix for 6 months & then off all of it. Hope this info helps you decide.

Ginnnyjm, thank you for your response to my question. I'm going to investigate Plavix as well. When blood thinners basically cause so many side effects and impact your life to the point of feeling bad most of the time you need an alternative. Both Eliquis and Xarelto cause problems. Good luck on your treatment.
