Ticagtelor finishing!

[Bartie123]

Hi - on Friday next I have been told to stop taking Ticagrelor as it is the anniversary of my stent fitting procedure. I haven’t been able to get in touch with my cardiologist to ask him if I will have any side effects- he is operating all this week and my GP is on leave...... has anyone out there had bad experiences on stopping?

Hi

I stopped end of May it had on my repeat prescription only to May 2020

I did speak to my GP on phone to see if I just stopped or have to wean off them .

Just stopped overnight and was fine .

I stopped at the end of December 2019. No bad effects at all. The really big plus was that I was no longer covered in bruises.

Actually it may impto e your mental health as well, I turned I to a really grumpy so and so when on ticagrelor and 2 days after stopping taking it felt strangely different? My family are convinced it was the drug..

I'm duue to finish them End of june coming.. I also was unsure about stopping them instantly or whether to wean off them. I spoke to my gp last week and he told me to just stop. Endearing to read that the bruises subside. I'm constantly bloody covered in them. Dint realise how clumsy I was haha
