So I've been on warfarin (plus 18000u fragmin) for just over a month now, I'm currently on 11mg daily. My INR is still sitting at 1.6 (desired range is 2-3), so has actually gone down since leaving hospital despite taking a way higher dose.
Could there be underlying issues why it's not rising?
Some people just require more. Increase to 15 for a few days. And retest? Don’t worry. Good intake at home different to hospital.
Sorry I don’t really know! Does seem high! Mine is usually in range but I’ve been on antibiotics as had a bad chest and toe! So will probably change this week! I really hope you get sorted take care x
I had a nightmare with warfarin I've ended up changing to rivoxaban been on it 5 years now.
Food impacts with warfarin .

Im hoping I'll finally be in range when tested on Thursday. Although not getting hopes up. Warfarin is the only thing I can take as currently breastfeeding so hoping it will not end up not working!
Do you find rivaroxaban worked ok and how long did it take to work ?
Fingers crossed for you .
It took a few months to get mine within range.
Diet does affect the inr but the best advice I was given was to dose the diet, not diet the dose (as a vegetarian there was no way I was giving anything up... Broccoli, spinach, chickpeas and Stilton just sound like a lovely meal to me).
I suspect the added issue of lactating may be another complication, but great to hear you are breastfeeding. Good luck!

Can anyone suggest anti-inflammatory that doesn't interact with warfarin?
What happens next after a DVT in my calf/behind my knee?
