I was still thinking about you and your side effects.
I have many friends on meds. Most are on a blood thinner.
NONE of my friends take aspirin with their blood thinners as aspirin act as thinners too.
When we were younger we could take the 81 mg. but now as our bodies change any aspirin can act as a blood thinner.
Please call your doctor about this. Perhaps the Eliquis and aspirin is making you have the effects that you are having.
Every one of my friends are told that for pain can only take Tylenol. Aspirin, Advil etc. all of the ones that are not an acetaminophen are a big no-no while on thinners.
I hope you feel much better soon, the smallest change in a med can help us feel better!
Have a Blessed night and weekend and hope you feel better soon.
Sincerely,
Betty

Thanks for your added comments and continued concern. I haven't taken aspirin since I have been on Eliquis. I follow the protocols for these drugs to "the letter of the law" including taking only Tylenol when applicable and according to the limitations on taking Tylenol as well always with MD involvement and my pharmacist if any questions. Restrictions also are applicable for many OTC options including even cough meds for example.
