I have had short term side-effects from the use of Eliquis....I had been on warfarin for an extended period of time. My INR's were a tad erratic, so the physician changed me to Eliquis 2.5.mg daily. A week later, I had death defying episode of vertigo,....for the next 8 months played patty-cake with ENT, Neuro conults to identifiy my sudden onset of dizziness (up to 3-4 times per day) followed by a disequilibrium when walking. I finally did a deep-dive research in notable sites. Lo and Behold, an NIH site listed side effects system by system....neuro - vertigo, ataxia and dizziness! Stopped taking it on 8/8/2024 after having started it on 11/13/2023 - haven't been dizzy since and went back on the old-fashioned warfarin. Do your research, dig deep into the side effects and make your decisions from there.
