Could I ask you what your side effects were when you were taking the Eliquis?

Thanks

Sure. Happy to share, however please remember, we are Each like a Snowflake. No 2 of us are exactly Alike, we all have different inherited body chemistry.
Eliquis - 2.5 mg. (the Eliquis was manufactured by Bristol Myers Squibb)
1. I developed bleeding gums
2. Joint pain
3. Feeling weak most of the time, lack of energy (It probably produced a low level of depression)
4. Dizziness
5. Intermittent tightness in my chest
6. Some eye irritation (possibly Dry-eye)
7. Frequently feeling confused, difficulty with focus & concentration.
When my Dr. said I'd probably HAVE to take it indefinitely, I told him either change my prescription or I'll find A New Cardiologist.
