I've been on Eliquis for about a year and I'm ready to start risking a stroke rather than stay on this horrible medication. My legs are so weak I have had to give up performing as a musician because it so awkward to get on and off stage, and recently I had to ask someone else to drive three hours to give a report I was supposed to give at a meeting. I have poor balance anyway, and with the weakness, I am terrified of falling. Tylenol has no effect on me, and because (naturally) you cannot take Advil with Eliquis, I must endure every migraine, ache, and pain without anything to help. Do not let anyone tell you this is an innocuous medicine.

@shepsiccle I am on apixaban (generic Eliquis) and am having sever pain in both hip joints. Eliquis is not an innocuous medication. Tylenol is not working for me either. (See my post, my user name is Larry1844).

I’ve been on Eliquis for 17 months since a heart attack and I started noticing problems with my legs a month after I started it but at the time I didn’t associate it with the medication. I Thought I would only have to take it for the first year and then be off it but my cardiologist wanted me to stay on it and my legs keep getting worse and worse just to walk around in my yard. I need a cane. I have issues climbing stairs, even just standing and grocery shopping walking around when I get home I’m exhausted. I tried to tell my doctor about the side effect, but was told it wouldn’t give side effects as far as weak muscles but after I joined this talk session here I realize there were other people that are having the same issues with their muscles at this rate if I’m on it much longer, I’ll probably be in a wheelchair. However, I did tell her back in March that I wanted to get off of it so she put me on the warafin blood thinner, which I was only on for three weeks and asked to go back on the Eliquis. The side effect with that one was I was losing my hair and I had stomach issues. I would eat something and I would get very nauseous sometimes would last into the night, so I went back on the Eliquis even though my legs seem worse. I really don’t know what to do.
