I've been on Warfarin since Feb/04. I had 2 blood clots form in my leg and traveled in my lung and was dignosed with APS. At first I was on 12mg a day for about a year, now I am regulated at 10mg a day. For the last 2 months my INR count has been high (blood too thin) and was on 5 mg for 2 days in July/07 and then back to 10mg. This month Aug/07 my dr took me off my meds for 2 days, then back on reg 10mg. I will go back and check my INR in a few weeks. I haven't experienced hair loss, but I have experienced migraines, weight gain (a lot!), blurred vision, black out with vision, and slight memory loss. And I am only 40 yrs old. Just wondering if you or anyone else has experienced any of these side effects.

I've been on coumadin since April and have experienced a HUGE weight gain as well, even with exercise. I also have memory loss and lightheadness when I stand for a period of time. I feel very bloated and my legs are very itchy. I have had acne as well since beginning the medication. I is on my face, neck and chest. Painful as well. For about a week I had a strange rash over my body which was quite itchy. I have also lost a lot of hair. I am looking forward to hopefully getting off this medication in October. It hasn't been fun!
