Questions about Eliquis and Meds for Pain Relief

I feel rotten and have felt rotten for a week now, since going on Eliquis. Same thing with Xarelto but I went off that in four days after another visit to the ER. I'm wondering if they're giving me too high a dose. I am small and weigh less than 120 now. I keep losing weight. No appetite and feeling dizzy and like I have a bit of the flu. I'm having a little breakfast and heading back to the ER at about 4:30 am. I feel like Eliquis is going to kill me. The pharmacist said give it a few days, but it's been a few days and it's only gotten worse. I cannot sleep either. I have been up all night. So, let's see what this ER doc says. Like everyone else with this condition, I so wish I'd lived right and not developed afib.

It’s been nearly 4 years now that I have been on Eliquis. I had a blood clot in my leg and developed two PEs 20 days later. I tried Eliquis, Xarelto, pradaxa, savaysa, and Coumadin. Eliquis has been the easier one to tolerate; however, it makes me sick everyday. I feel weak and feel like I have the flu. I started out on 5 mg twice a day. After a year, my dvt doc lowered it to 2.5 twice a day. Any time where I have a procedure done where I need to be off the blood thinner, I go off under the doctors supervision and notice that I start to feel better. As soon as I start taking the medicine again, I feel like crap. It’s a never ending cycle.
