Warfarin and shaky

[jelly1967]

My 80 yr old mother has been in warfarin for approx 3 months. She is become v shaky and unsteady on her feet. Anybody else have this? She is taking 4 mg. thanks

I have never heard of warfarin having this effect- make sure sge is in range and have her checked for other things that may be happening

Never heard of this before so unlikely to be the warfarin. The dose is irrelevant provided that she is in range and has regular INR tests.

How often is she having her inr read ? I was tested every other day for a long time before my level settled down even now I have to vary .the dose and now test myself frequently. Better to be safe than sorry. Warfarin .is a powerful drug and should be treated with the utmost respect. Hope you work out what's causing the shakiness may be one of the other drugs. Be well. Terry

Is she on Amiodarone as well as that effected my equilibrium.

Is your mother on Synthroid (levothyroxine) by any chance?
