Edoxaban side effects

[Joeyy06]

Hi all

I’ve been taking Edoxaban for a week and a half now. Felt absolutely fine before I started taking it but a few days in I felt dreadful - pressure in ears, shooting pains in head, fatigue and generally feeling rubbish. Likened it to how I felt after the Covid vaccine, weirdly! I genuinely don’t think it is a bug/flu or anything like that. Makes me feel quite depressed too which I didn’t feel before. Can’t get to speak to a doctor - both at surgery are on holiday! Ridiculous! Might switching to another anti-coag be a good idea when I do get to speak to the doc? Can’t feel like this with work etc. Anyone had similar?

No. No problems with Edoxaban

No problems maybe give it more time to get used to it couple more weeks

Started Edoxaban 3 months ago. Experienced unusually stiff hip joints in first two weeks but now OK. Maybe wait for a couple of months to see if the body adapts.

no problems that i know of, i do get pain in my fingers very occasionally but don’t know which medication might be causing it!

Yes, l have experienced awful side effects with the new anticoagulants. I have tried them all with negative results. In the end had to resort to Warfarin. I was ill a long time trying them all and have never felt quite the same since being diagnosed with AF and going on medication.

Sorry to hear that. Did you get similar sounding effects to me?

I just got so sick that l was on the sofa most of the day and couldn’t do a thing. I am very sensitive to drugs and it gets worse as l get older. Try something else as it might be ok for you,
