I have been on Warfarin since December 2003 for peripheral vascular disease. I was on the same dosage, 7.5 mg, up until I started seeing a different DR. last year and he upped me to 9.5 mg a day. I noticed I started losing a tremendous amount of hair. Dr put me on prenatal vitamins with no improvement. Hair is very dry and brittle. Have had alot of lightheadedness to the point where I feel I want to pass out but don't, now it affects my driving and work. My head feels like it wants to explode sometimes and have lots of migraines. Anyone else????

I'm surprised that your doc has you taking prenatal vitamins. I too am on Warfarin and have been told that I can no longer take vitamins. Goes to show you how everybody has a different answer. Currently i haven't noticed any side effects other then leg cramping and slight bruising. i'm going to start paying a little more attention to my hair :)

was on coumadin also for 9 months.. had blood clot from yasmin that went into my lungs.. ive been using pantiene shampoo (the one that says "less hair loss and breakage") seems to be helping. give it a try.. my sister recomended it to me.
