I have been on Coumadin for about 2 months now after surviving a cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (blood clot on my brain - akin to a stroke). I am s 34 yo female who races triathlons and leads a very active healthy lifestyle. My side effects seem to be mild compared to what I read of others. I am on 5mg/day, except 1 day a week I take 10mg. My INR has been pretty stable. The side effects I notice are mild forgetfulness which I am hoping goes away as I start my 3rd year of law school next week! I also had some weird skin peeling on my hands, but that has subsided. I seem to urinate more often than normal and soda pop tastes weird to me now. Anyone else experience the frequent urination and/or taste issues? Thanks! Dana :)

Dana, I also had the peeling hands. Now 3 months later I have developed an allergy. I started with hives then joint pain. I woke up this morning with my face and throat swollen. I believe it is the coumadin. I am seeing a alergy specialist today.

I have been on Warfarin for only 1 1/2 months and have developed a terrible taste and smell distortion. I'm not able to eat hardly anything and now I'm getting concerned that I'm not getting enough nutrients to get thru the day. Has anyone had these symptoms ???
