apixaban (5mg) for thrombosis

Using these tablets since January. I was so happy to get rid of the injections, but after a while I did notice some side effects: loss of sleep, feeling tired, and it seems to have effect on my speech (I’m sometimes searching for words), also tingly feeling sometimes.

apixaban (2,5mg) for stroke

Because of a mild stroke, my mother had to switch from Xarelto to Eliquis. Eliquis made her sleep almost all day and ultimately she died from a massive stomach haemorrhage (side effect in 1 in 10 patients!).

apixaban (5mg) for atrial fibrillation

Bad experience. I am sleeping badly and I've been really unsettled since I started taking this, I often have arrhythmia with a kind of stressed feeling. I also get the impression that it affects my memory. I also feel less fit. Going to go back to see the GP.
