I got leg weakness within a month also of taking eliquis. I stopped taking it about 10 days ago and feel a little better. Still weak. Any thoughts on improvement time frame? I feel like I have ALS, but hope it's eliquis poisoning that can be reversed.

Hi @strengthaxle66 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry you are having an adverse reaction. Did you inform your physician that you were going off of the medication? Did they recommend something to take instead?
