My personal experience of Edoxoban (and Rivaroxoban) was very bad. Dizziness, and in the latter case accompanied by depression were both debilitating. I have been on apixaban for over a year now, with very few side effects. Ask your GP why he wants to change. I believe one is cheaper than the other.
