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.

Wow, you really did have a lot of side effects with Eliquis..
My main thing with taking the 2.5 mg is joint pain, mainly in my legs, started a month after starting it..
My legs feel stiff, hurt when bending knees especially going down stairs…I also feel lack of energy and times I feel like I can’t focus on things..I feel depressed also, was told after my heart attack
( Dec 24’) it could take 6 months to get back to myself. Well, it’s been 7 months and I don’t feel any stronger…I felt I had more energy right after I got out of hospital.
I know everyone is different so I really don’t know if it’s The Eliquis or maybe I have arthritis in my legs. I was told baby aspirin wouldn’t be appropriate for me at this time so she wants me to stay on it till at least the end of the year.
