I have not been taking my Clopidogrel for over 3 months now because I was on Clexane after an operation. Now I am taking neither. Almost every day I am getting flashing lights migraine type episodes. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem when stopping Clopidogrel ? There are different medical views about weather I actually do have Hughes syndrome and I have been told in the past I dont need clopidogrel. Although around 9 years ago Prof Huges confirmed the diagnoisis though with negative blood tests.
Thanks, and best wishes to you all.

Since migraines are a common symptom of APS, these episodes have come on since you went off the treatment for APS, and Prof Hughes believes you have it, it seems that you likely will benefit from taking clopidogrel and/or CLexane. Some people need both, some just one or the other. Usually, anti platelet agents (aspirin or clopidogrel) are tried first (unless there is a thrombosis).
I had to stop clopidril for 8 days to have a colonoscopy done and in seven days I've had five migraines just gone back on to them second day so hoping they will stop like before
