Hi I am new to taking Eliquis there are some things they are trying to rule out but nothing as officially been diagnosed. Reason is they want to make sure I don't form blood clots that may cause a stroke due to a TIA I had in July. I started taking and the medicine makes me feel anxious and some time nauseous. Does this fade away?

When I first started taking Eliquis around 2017, I immediately felt nauseous and very dizzy. Concerned it could be caused by the new medication, I went to my doctor. He dismissed the dizziness as Labyrinthitis (which I have had now and again in the past), and he advised me to stick with the Eliquis. Now, 8 years on, I still feel dizzy quite often and I have had a number of falls because my balance is affected, some quite nasty ones. The doctor said I clearly have a problem with balance, but doesn't seem to think it's the Eliquis because it's "not on the list of side effects"! So, to answer your question, No, I'm sorry, but it doesn't fade away. I now creep along with my stick very warily because I'm absolutely terrified of falling again. I think it might help if people who suffer these horrible side-effects report it as much as possible in the hope that this drug is investigated more thoroughly, and the side effects we suffer with should be added to the leaflet accompanying this medication. I should add that I was taking Warfarin from 2005 after a severe stroke and recurring PEs yet, despite it being considered a 'poison', I never had any side effects whatsoever!
