Rare serious side effect of Eliquis: Muscle weakness

@cmauncc1 , I have been on eliquis for one week. Am experiencing being dizzy, fatigue and now pain and weakness in my legs . I’m on 5mg for Atrial fibrillation and am 77. Also want to get off the medication, but worried about clots. How are you doing and has your health improved?

@lwools I am cutting the 5mg Eliquis in half and doing 2 1/2mg
Twice a day. Things have improved a little. I’ve been doing this for a couple weeks.

I had serious side effects from Eliquest (intermittent vomiting, diarrhea, fever, vision changes, joints hurting). The side effects kept getting more intensive! Then I changed back to coumadin bc i was nearly always sick with Eliquest and had lost 15 lbs. You need a blood thinner to avoid blood clots unless you get a watchman device implanted in your left atrial appendage. Then it will be a wait and see if afib reoccurs before going off a blood thinner.
