To stay on Eliquis or not

Hi there,
I would not dare to take myself off eliquis. But, I understand wholeheartedly your apprehension. My cardiologist has left it up to me to return to Amiodarone due to supraventricular tachycardia events. I have CAD, cardiac ablation 2 years ago, and bad afib for years. In fact. I stroked twice before getting the afib diagnosed. (I was calling it panic attacks for 35 years). It got worse and, unfortunately, I stroked. Twice. Ofcourse I got on blood thinners. I have been on them for approximately 8 years 5mg morning and night. Be careful. Stroking was horrible. All the best...hope this helps...And, yes, though my doctor's prefer I add Amiodarone I totally am refusing (at this point). But, I work hard staying in shape and eating excellent. All the Best to you~

Well since my original post I am no longer actively being treated for AFib because of no reoccurrence. Still visit the cardiologist once a year but no signs of AFib. But still taking Eliqus at a 2.5mg twice a day for clot in the leg.

Seems to be the trade off with looking for AFib in some people is the issue of how to treat when it's burden is minimal at best.
