Xarelto

Is anyone on this site taking Xarelto, any side effects ?

Ive taken xarelto for a couple years, no side effects

Thank you

I'm having bleeding gums and bad headaches, the info says " to report these symptoms to GP," although it was my Cardio that prescribed it. I will call the surgery tomorrow,

Yes that sounds like a call to the doc is in order. Hope it isnt serious.

My husband gets extreme fatigue. He's on half dose now but is still very tired.

Hi Bowler, I have been on since January and fortunately no side effects, other than one which I am making a big assumption (gentleman...?) and guessing might not affect you...

I saw my GP this morning, he has taken me off Xarelto and stopped the aspirin till the bleeding stops and headaches subside, apart from bleeding gums I was getting blood from the nose, all side effects of the drug, it's been real " poison " to me . I may be more prone to bleeding as I am also on life long steroids for adrenal insufficiency, Perhaps I will be prescribed another blood thinner when I see the Doc. again next Mon.

I had 3 heart stents last July, I also have a mitral valve leak, and A F so they don't want me to have a blood clot.

I hope your "gentleman " thing resolves itself, I'm female.

My 'gentleman' thing is actually a female thing, but that happens with assumptions doesn't it..

Sounds like you have really struggled with Xeralto and I hope they find you a suitable alternative.
