Clopidogryl side effects

[Waddilovek]

Does anyone get depression or panicky feelings since being on clopidogryl, or feeling hot or achy or tired?

Hi there, after my HA last March one of my new prescribed meds was Clopidogrel. I've suffered from bouts of extreme fatigue and have spoken to my GP several times about it in my belief the drug was causing this. He was 'fairly' confident it wasn't the Clopidogrel that was causing it but several people on here have complained about having similar symptoms. I have been told I need to be on it for a year so will look to come straight off it in march.

However, slightly contradicting myself, in the past few weeks I have felt so much better so, what do I know? :)) Good luck and as so often said here ' listen to your body'.

Were you on any other drugs while taking Clopi?

The aches, tiredness & bruising is really getting to me.

Only a few weeks then you’ll be free of this drug. Good luck

Thanks for your reply. I couldn't take isorboside either, gave me raging headache, dizzy... People say this drug is evil.

I'm surprised to hear you say that the drug is evil, my husband was on a very high dose for 20 years & he never had any problems with it.

[achingarm in reply to Lezzers]

Your husband was very lucky. Just not for me.

Atorvastatin, candesartan. aspirin. When did you have your HA?

[achingarm in reply to allanrobson]

Fortunately didn’t have HA, only caught through a few chest pains and discovered part blocked artery.

I take aspirin, atenol, Clopi, lansoprazole, atorvastatin & phenytoin as I’m an epileptic. Not had a fit for over 30yrs, so well controlled.

Hi yes you’re not the only one, so fed up with being in pain or aching. I’m so so tired, I could sleep most of the day if I could. The bruising is awful too. I had a heart stent fitted at beginning of December, had to come off Amlodipine & Isosorbide Mononitrate as they didn’t agree with my other meds. I had a previous stent 12 years ago and never had these problems. I also get the hot feelings, one minute hot, then cold.

It’s now really getting to me, my doc thought I should speak to an Anxiety Clinic! I did this, they thought it was my meds too!!

You feel as if you’re losing control of yourself & it’s awful. I’m off to see my doc today because of it. Let you know the outcome.

Hi, I felt as if I my stomach was going to burst. Go and ask your pharmacist about interactions they are the experts in drugs. I hope you feel better soon.

After my HA and stents I had to have almost evry tablet changed because of side effects. The worst was ticagrelor ( couldn't breathe) closely followed by the beta blocker. I had hallucinations. Ticag was changed to clopidogrel and I had no problems except stomach pain so mine was stopped after 6 months. it's hard to pin down which one causes what but there are alternatives.

That’s interesting you had stomach pains with Clopi. Doctor says the pains are my ibs??? Been on a very bland diet now for 8 weeks, clothes are falling off me!! I’m off it for 2 days, just waiting to see if there’s any difference. Thank you
