I have been taking Eliquis for about 8 years now. Right from the start, I felt very dizzy, but my doctor dismissed it as Labyrinthitis, but I still have dizziness quite frequently. In the last few years, I have suffered from extremely stiff and painful joints. X-rays confirmed I have arthritis, but not bad enough to cause such pain. I reported this to the NHS Yellow Card scheme, but now I'm beginning to wonder if it's the statins I am also taking (Atorvastatin 80mg plus Ezetimibe 10 mg). I think it's time for a chat with my doctor!

I’ve been on Eliquis since December 2024 And I have had painful joints in my knees, which started in February. I mentioned it to my cardiologist and she didn’t feel like it would give any side effects. I complained to my primary doctor and she ordered x-rays on my knees and said that I have arthritis, but I still believe part of it is caused by the Eliquis. The last time I saw my cardiologist, she mentioned that I might be able to get off the Eliquis in December, which means I was on it for a year. I have no idea what she will recommend me to take in its place.
I take the Eliquis twice a day, 5 mg in the morning and 5 mg at night.
It’s sad, but it’s also good to hear Other people are having the same issues being on Eliquis.
