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.
